Super Wild Card Weekend didn't disappoint, so the Divisional Round offers exciting matchups heading toward Championship Sunday. The four-game slate commences with Cincinnati and Tennessee dueling for a trip to the AFC title game. Having had a week off, the Titans will play a Bengals squad that took down the Raiders.
Up next, the 49ers travel to the Frozen Tundra to meet the Packers to close out the night before the Rams and Buccaneers kick-off on Sunday. And lastly, the main event, featuring the Bills and Chiefs going head-to-head in the projected highest-scoring game on the schedule.

FanDuel Quarterbacks - Divisional Round DFS Lineup Picks
Josh Allen, QB - @ KC ($8,800)
Allen decapitated the Patriots defense during Super Wild Card Weekend. Despite the frigid Western New York conditions, the signal-caller finished with just over 300 yards passing, complete with five touchdowns and 66 yards off six carries. He gave the Chiefs a butt whoopin' back in October, and with both clubs projected to score a ton of points, Allen should undoubtedly be on everyone's radar.
Patrick Mahomes, QB - vs. BUF ($8,500)
Although Josh Allen is arguably a slightly better option, Mahomes is just as lethal. The former MVP is also $300 less than Allen, and he's also coming off a dominant Wild Card performance, throwing five touchdowns for 404 yards against the Steelers. He didn't play horribly against Buffalo earlier in the year. However, the Chiefs offense is on a different level than it was then.
Also Consider: Tom Brady ($7,800)
FanDuel Running Backs - Divisional Round DFS Lineup Picks
Derrick Henry, RB - vs. CIN ($9,000)
Henry hasn't played since breaking a bone in his foot during the Halloween matchup against the Colts. However, despite initial reports that he was done for the year, surprise, here he is, ready to reclaim his spot as the best back in football. He routinely had between 20 and 30 touches per game during the regular season, and although he may not get as many against Cincinnati, the Titans will need him to get past the surging Bengals.
Cam Akers, RB - @ TB ($5,700)
Akers tore his Achilles at the beginning of the year. Yet, he somehow made it back for the Rams' final game of the regular season versus the 49ers. Even more impressive, he logged 17 carries for 55 yards during the Wild Card Round. Certainly, Akers has had more formidable outings during his career. Still, that's not bad for a guy who suffered an injury that usually keeps others out longer. His rostering cost is too reasonable to pass up, primarily since he will be the featured option out of the backfield for Los Angeles on Sunday.
Also Consider: Joe Mixon ($7,800), Aaron Jones ($7,500), Devin Singletary ($7,200), Leonard Fournette ($7,000), Jerick McKinnon ($6,000)

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Divisional Round DFS Lineup Picks
Cooper Kupp, WR - @ TB ($9,500)
Kupp only had five catches during the Wild Card win over Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. However, he had a touchdown, extending his scoring streak to three games. With the defending champs on the itinerary, the best wideout in the league should have plenty of chances to make some noise on the fantasy end. In Week 3 against Tampa Bay, Kupp caught nine balls (12 targets) for 96 yards. He also had two trips to the end zone, and while the Bucs are a good team, it isn't skilled enough on the defensive end to stop Kupp.
Davante Adams, WR - vs. SF ($8,700)
Adams has been one of the most dominant receivers in the league for years. The veteran caught 21 balls for 250 yards and three touchdowns throughout the two games leading up to the season finale versus the Detroit Lions. He's currently a -135 favorite to score a touchdown on Sunday, tying him with Cooper Kupp, with both men only sitting behind Derrick Henry, who is a -185 favorite.
Also Consider: Deebo Samuel ($8,600), Mike Evans ($8,300), Ja'Marr Chase ($8,200), Tyreek Hill ($8,200), Allen Lazard ($6,000), Tyler Boyd ($5,800), Julio Jones ($5,600)
FanDuel Tight Ends - Divisional Round DFS Lineup Picks
Travis Kelce, TE - vs. BUF ($8,200)
Kelce has been on a roll, scoring at least one touchdown in each of his previous four games. He's also been targeted less than seven times just four times this year, so he is expected to remain involved against the Bills, a team that decisively defeated the Chiefs in Week 5. Yet, that was a different time, and Buffalo won't have Tre'Davious White on the field this time around.
Also Consider: Rob Gronkowski ($7,100), Dawson Knox ($6,500)
