I feel like the NFL changes come playoff time. Obviously the weather all over the country is quite differnt than it was just a month ago. That is especially true in New England, Denver and Green Bay which just so happen to be hosting three of our four NFL Divisional Round Playoff games this weekend.
We all know that the passing game ruled the 2014 fantasy football season. Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers were the dependable ones that brought us steady production all season long. But as the calendar changed, so has my thinking on who the best fantasy producers will be.
This week I am paying up for RB's as they will be the deciding factors in most if not all of these games. The hard part for me is trying to fit DeMarco Murray into my lineups. As you will notice below I just cannot do it this week. Marshawn Lynch is cheaper across the board and I feel is a better option and thus he is leading most of my DFS lineups this weekend. Tom Brady and the Patriots passing game will also have a strong showing against the lowly Ravens secondary so don't be scared off of them no matter how much the media makes of the history between these two franchises. The old gray mare (Ravens secondary), she ain't what she used to be.
As is the case with postseason DFS NFL I am giving you my best lineups instead of teasing you with "options." We all know the options, you guys want solutions and I get that. You'll be happy to notice also that I have added our old friends Fantasy Aces to our lineups this week.
