Playoffs! I hope everyone had a great Wild Card Weekend, but the Divisional Round is here! For this article, I’ll be focusing on my favorite plays on the DraftKings four game main slate. Of course, you can use this analysis as well as the DFS Podcast to help if you’re playing the individual Saturday only or Sunday only slates.

*Note: Plays listed below are in order of salary, NOT necessarily ranked by preferred plays. Additionally, there’s a ton of strong plays on the slate, so this is more of my ‘top tier’ plays when you adjust for salary. For more recommended plays, Kyle and I will have a Best Plays article available in the DFS Pass later today.
Quarterbacks
Josh Allen $7,100 @ DEN
The SuperMan cape is officially on, and Playoff Josh is here. We saw it last weekend against the Jags when Allen finished with over 30 DraftKings points on the back of an 11/33/2 rushing line, carrying the ball in key moments and around the goal line. With the Buffalo WR core getting thin because of injury, I could see the passing efficiency being an uphill battle in a tough matchup, but it is worth pointing out that this Broncos defense regressed a bit in the back half o the year out of their bye. From Weeks 1-11, they were 4th in EPA per play but in Weeks 13-16, they fell off to 21st in EPA per play despite facing Washington and Las Vegas in two of those four contests before facing Chris Oladokun and Trey Lance in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively. We’ve also seen the Broncos give up some massing rushing games to mobile QBs over the last month+ with Trey Lance (9/69/0), Trevor Lawrence (6/20/1), Jordan Love (3/29/0), Marcus Mariota (10/55/0) all finding box score success with their legs. In what profiles as a tight game that could come down to the final few possessions, I like betting Allen to take over this game.
