Wild Card weekend is over, and this weekend marks the Divisional round of the playoffs for the NFL. There are four games this weekend with a total of eight teams playing, more than enough to allow daily fantasy football action to take place. Here, we will break down the games from a fantasy perspective and hopefully help you to make a more educated decision when you draft your teams Saturday.

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots

According to the experts in Las Vegas, the Patriots are a 5 point favorites for this one, and they have the home field edge. There are some big questions about New England, though, particularly with their quarterback, Tom Brady. Brady sprained his ankle two weeks ago as the Patriots lost to the Miami Dolphins in the last regular season game of the year. Brady was pretty banged up in that game, and thanks to not having wide receiver Julian Edelman, the Patriots looked awful. Edelman will be back for this game, but again, there are still a lot of questions up in the air.

Also, remember that tight end Rob Gronkowski has been fighting an injury, and he did miss practice on Tuesday this week with a minor ailment, according to reports. Gronk has been the best tight end in the NFL this year, but with both Brady and him fighting to stay healthy, it is probably a good idea to find a value pick at this position somewhere else and save your salary cash for where it will be more useful. Add to this the fact that Kansas City’s defense is very strong right now, and two of the top post season picks are very questionable in how well they will perform. The Chiefs have the third best defense in the NFL, and that could create issues for the Patriots, who have the third best offense. This will be a good game, and the Patriots do have the edge, but only if everyone plays at their top level. When injuries are accounted for, and Brady’s lack of depth when it comes to healthy receivers, this game could be a problem for those that rely on him for fantasy points.

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers

The Seahawks have had a remarkable comeback of a year, and the fact that they are in the postseason now is something that was very doubtful at the halfway point in the regular season. But here they are, and they find themselves up against the team that had the best win-loss record in the NFL this year. Vegas says that Carolina has a 2.5 point edge for this game, but really, this is anyone’s game. The Panthers have home field, and the better record, but the Seahawks have the better defense, and when it comes to Carolina QB Cam Newton’s running game, there could be problems for the Panthers. The Seahawks have only allowed 17.3 points per game this year, the lowest in the NFL, and they’ve only allowed 81.5 yards rushing per game, also the lowest in the NFL. Part of the appeal of drafting Newton is that he has a strong chance of a rushing touchdown, and this is the team that he’s least likely to do that against. He should definitely be avoided for this game, and the Seahawks defense should strongly be considered, mostly because they have a strong chance of being underpriced, for the first time this season. The Panthers had the highest point scoring total of any team in the NFL this year, but that could be challenged for this game as the Seahawks have experience on their side.

Seattle QB, Russell Wilson, has a lot of appeal for this game. One, he will be cheap. That in itself is a good starting point. But, the fact that he has really turned this team around and has a ton of momentum on his side gives him an added edge. He has the highest QB Rating of any qualified quarterback for the regular season, and good enough stats to make him a competitive top QB pick even against the biggest names. When it comes to points allowed, the Panthers’ defense ranks 6th overall in the NFL, but this isn’t quite enough to take away the edge that Wilson and company have.
