Yahoo Fantasy Football Playoff Picks NFL

The first round of the playoffs is here, and the NFL DFS slate is now much smaller. With only eight teams in action for the wild card round, there are merely four games to choose from, meaning that it will be harder than usual to differentiate our lineup from others. Jack Crawford Jerseys Still, our Yahoo GPP lineup picks for this Saturday-Sundayslate found some solid values and sleepers while spreading the money around to balance everything out.
Our strategy was to target high-priced guys at WR, as the depth and sleeper options in Yahoo weren't as plentiful as other positions were. Elsewhere, we targeted Lamar Jackson as our QB, as the pricing David Wells Jerseys on Yahoo is insanely low for the young Ravens QB. By spending down there, that gave us the ability to spend up and land the No. 1 receiver from four different teams. That will give us a lot of big-play potential.

Without further ado, here's a look at our full Yahoo lineup for tournaments.
Yahoo Fantasy Football: Wild card roundNFL DFS tournament lineupQB Lamar Jackson, Ravens vs. Chargers($25).Somehow, Jackson is the lowest-priced starter at QB on Yahoo platforms this week. That makes little sense, given that Jackson has a high floor because of his rushing ability. He had 90 yards and two TDs on the ground last week against the Browns, and he actually had a career high in pa sing yards Arizona Cardinals Hats last time he played the Chargers (204 yards). Jackson should be priced closer to how he is on FanDuel (second-highest priced QB) so we'll take advantage of this inefficiency and hope that he has a big day on the ground.
RB Chris Carson, Seahawks @ Cowboys ($25).In his past four outings, Carson has at least 90 yards and a score on the ground. He has Brian Winters Jerseys been remarkably consistent, and while Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny will take some carries from him, he still figures to get about 20 touches against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have been good against RBs this season, but they can be beaten and Carson will have the volume needed and should get a chance for a handful of goal-line carries.
RB Jordan Howard, Bears vs. Eagles ($20).The Eagles started the year well against the run, but they have allowed seven double-digit scorers at RB since Week 10. Meanwhile, Howard has scored four times in the last three weeks and while he will share carries with Tarik Cohen, $20 seems like a bargain for him, as he seems better than the fifth-highest priced RB on this slate.
EARLY 2019 FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | Zach Ertz Jerseys | |
WR DeAndre Hopkins, Texans vs. Colts ($34).I'm spending up at receiverthanks to the solid values at QB and RB, so I grabbed Hopkins here. Hopkins has three straight games where he has posted at least 104 yards and he has seen at least 11 targets in five consecutive games. He has an insanely high floor, though it is notable that he had one of his worst games of the season against the Colts in Week 14 (four catches, 36 yards, 1 TD). Still, Hopkins is matchup-proof and we can afford him, Maxx Williams Jerseys so we'll get him.
WR T.Y. Hilton, Colts @ Texans ($28). In two games against the Texans this year, Hilton has 314 receiving yards and on 18 targets. That's an average of 157 yards per game. While he hasn't scored against them and has been bangedup in recent weeks, Hilton has still performed well and Aeneas Williams Jerseys has at least 61 yards in the last eight games he has played. Like Hopkins, he is a high-floor, high-ceiling option.
WR Alshon Jeffery, Eagles @ Bears ($21).Jeffery has logged at least 82 yards receiving or a TD in the past four weeks and he seems to have a solid rapport with Nick Foles (18 targets in three games with Foles starting). This is a revenge game for Jeffery against his former team, the Bears, and the Eagles will likely have to throw a lot, as the Bears have a terrific run defense. Jeffery could grab a TD and will definitely have chances to produce in the wild card round.
TE Blake Jarwin, Cowboys vs. Seahawks ($13).There's a huge spending gap between Eric Ebron and Zach Ertz ($26 and $24 respectively) and Arizona Cardinals Jackets the next top options. We chose to spend down and get a player that has been coming on as of late. Jarwin has seen at least seven targets in three of his last four outings, and he is coming off a 100-yard, three TD outing against the Giants. He Kyler Murray Hoodies Sweatshirts won't reach that insane production level again, but he should exceed his $13 value if he sees another seven targets.
FLEX Tyler Lockett, Seahawks @ Cowboys ($18).Lockett hasn't been quite as much of a TD threat in recent weeks as he was at the start of the season, but he is averaging 26.3 yards per reception in the past three games and has been a big-play, deep threat for most of the season. The Cowboys have a good secondary, but all it takes is one long TD for Lockett to hit his value. For le s than $20, we'll take a chance on him.
D/ST Baltimore Ravens vs. Chargers ($16).The Ravens did a good job of limiting the Chargers' offense when these two teams met a few weeks ago. The Ravens notched four sacks and a defensive TD Dennis Gardeck Jerseys against them despite being on the road. At home, the Ravens should have a chance to continue to pre sure Philip Rivers, so getting them at a slight discount ($4 off the positional ceiling) is nice.
