It might be Divisional Round weekend in the NFL playoffs, but that doesn't mean fantasy football draft season is done. The 8-team slate certainly alters how we build lineups for the Divisional Round Battle Royale, but there are still values and ways to get different. We'll look at Underdog ADP and then draft 2 teams live to try to help you beat this DFS main slate.

Does a loaded QB slate make it tougher to decipher a top shelf? Do you NEED exposure to Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and/or Jalen Hurts this week? Christian McCaffrey balled out again last week. So how could Matt POSSIBLY be talking about risk with him? Can this week match the overall offensive explosion of the Wild Card Round? Are the Giants and Cowboys for real ... or did they just take advantage of soft 1st-round foes? We're breaking down the whole slate for DraftKings values and FanDuel value...

It's NFL Playoffs time, and we're still playing fantasy football. That means it's time to not only find the best players, but to also think about who we're betting will make the Super Bowl. Is Josh Allen a must for FFPC Playoff Challenge lineups, with the chance that he plays 4 games? Or should we lean toward Stefon Diggs and play a less popular QB? Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow all figure to follow Allen there. How do we play RB? Will Austin Ekeler and Christian McCaffrey be chalk...

Jalen Hurts looks likely to return to help the Eagles win the #1 seed. Can we trust him in fantasy football lineups against a Giants defense with nothing to play for? Josh Allen and Joe Burrow return to the main slate. But should we target other members of the Bills and Bengals offense and push off the QB decision in our DFS main-slate drafts? Situational questions also face Justin Jefferson and Christian McCaffrey. And who might emerge as late sleepers in what could be a goofy NFL Week 18? We'l...

Josh Allen and the Bills sound motivated to show out in NFL Week 18, for their playoff chances and for Damar Hamlin. Will that make him the guy you NEED on this DFS main slate? RB offers more savings than usual, with the same players topping our DraftSharks.com dollars-per-point rankings on both DraftKings and FanDuel. How many Eagles, Cowboys and Vikings can we trust in our lineups, though, in matchups that could be so one-sided that they start pulling starters? We'll talk through the potential...

Do we need to pay up for Josh Allen on the DraftKings NFL Week 18 main slate? Joe Burrow checks in a little cheaper, but does he have as much firepower? Christian McCaffrey looks potentially tricky, with questions about injury and team motivation. The same factors could affect Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, but 1 of his teammates looks like a favorite play for the week. We'll talk through every position -- all of which present more value plays than usual -- on this fantasy football podcast. DraftSh...

This fantasy football podcast looks at just how safe a play Brock Purdy is for NFL Week 18 lineups. The QB list gets pretty scary, with injuries and motivation issues. The Commanders turn to Sam Howell and ... who else? Derrick Henry returns. Can we count on Trevor Lawrence on the other side? Tony Pollard returns. How tough will his matchup be? Deebo Samuel might return, while Week 18 changes the injury decisions for many players and teams. We're running through position by position. Fantasy foo...

The Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff Lions stack might be key to this Week 17 DFS main slate. Or perhaps both players are going too early in DFS drafts? How should you build around such a popular early pick, and who else going in Rounds 1 and 2 look most ready to compete. We're looking back on what worked -- or didn't -- in Week 16 DFS drafts and then building teams live for the Underdog Battle Royale and Sleeper Daily Drafts on this fantasy football podcast for Friday, December 30, 2022. Fantas...

Is this a week to pay down at QB in our FanDuel cash lineups? If you don't want to go all the way down to Teddy Bridgewater, Jared Goff looks good in the middle of a marquee Bears-Lions matchup. Of course, Justin Fields on the other side just might beat everyone in ceiling. The biggest question this week, though, might be whether Jared can finally quit Mike Evans ... or if the Bucs star can finally pay off all that misplaced faith. We'll talk through top DFS value plays at every position on this...

Christian McCaffrey hits NFL Week 17 as perhaps the only beastly RB on the DFS main slate. Is he must-play chalk, or is he overrated vs. a more interesting RB pool than usual? QB gets especially interesting with all the $5K options on DraftKings, while affordable options seem plentiful across positions. Bears-Lions sits at the center of this slate, but intriguing matchups elsewhere can help differentiate your lineup. We'll run through our top DFS plays and favorite DFS value picks on this fantas...

It's never wrong to start your DFS weekly drafts with Travis Kelce, who is dominating his position like no one else this season. Justin Jefferson, however, might be an even better selection. As for the top DFS value picks in Sleeper Daily Drafts and Underdog Battle Royale: The Seahawks appear to be in play (D.K. Metcalf, obviously ... but maybe even some names you're not considering). Of course, we all have to figure out what to do with Derrick Henry ... or how to compete against lineups that ha...

Derrick Henry has absolutely obliterated the Texans across 3 seasons. Is it even possible to build DFS lineups without him this week? He does face a challenger at the top of our dollars-per-point rankings on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Jerick McKinnon suddenly looks like an easy pick for salary relief alongside Henry, but where else can we find top DFS values?

Justin Herbert got Mike Williams back against the Dolphins. But he hasn't been blowing up the box scores. Is he just a cash play in NFL Week 15? Should we fade the Chargers QB?

This DFS fantasy football podcast looks at whether Jared Goff makes more sense on FanDuel vs. DraftKings this week. That, of course, would require you to pass on Jalen Hurts, who actually leads the dollars-per-point rankings in the Draft Sharks Lineup Generator. Travis Kelce leads that category at TE, despite being the most expensive option. Does that make it a good week to fade the Chiefs stud? Matt and Jared seem to prefer other top-shelf guys at the position. And they agree on fading a top RB...
