NFL DFS Wild Card Weekend Dart Board: Top Value Picks For DraftKings & FanDuel

There's not a lot to love about the Denver backfield, but someone needs to run the ball as that's how you best Buffalo. I thought about using Audric Estime as he's the plodder of the group, but if we're also expecting the Broncos to be playing from behind at times, we need someone who can handle double-digit carries and is active in the passing attack. Bo Nix isn't one to check it down too often but we know Joe Lombardi likes passes to his running backs. McLaughlin checks all the boxes, including a cheap price tag.

Anyone up for a revenge-game narrative? Forget the price on FanDuel. That's just stupid for his workload. DraftKings, on the other hand, why not? We know Aaron Jones leads the backfield, but we've also been watching Akers play a 30-percent snap-share and seeing a few looks in the passing game lately. If the Vikings are able to clamp down on a lead in the third quarter, I could see Akers weaved into the action to help chew the clock. We all know he and Sean McVay had beef back when he was with the Rams, so perhaps he gets the opportunity to show up his former coach.

Fun fact: The Broncos rank 31st in DVOA against running back pass-plays and while James Cook is the primary and Ray Davis sits second on the depth chart, we've seen Johnson get into the action as a receiver out of the backfield. It's only about a 30--35% snap count, but if Joe Brady wants to get creative, we've seen him deploy Johnson both between the 20s and inside the red zone. Probably a better dart for the three-game Sunday-only slate, but still worth a look. 

He actually sees the highest snap-count of any of the Buffalo receivers and while Mack Hollins sometimes eats into his targets during three-receiver sets, he still sees plenty of work. The key is going to be where he is in relation to Patrick Surtain. We don't expect him to be lined up opposite Surtain every time and on deeper plays where he isn't, All will be looking for him. If you were thinking about a contrarian stack in the face of this vaunted Broncos pass defense, Coleman could be a nice addition.

He's third on the team in targets behind Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz and he's second among the wide receivers in snap-counts. The role has increased over time and prior to the Week 18 cakewalk against the Cowboys he had been coming off back-to-back games where he amassed 13 catches on 17 targets for 155 yards and three touchdowns. We expect this game to have some shootout vibes, so you can use him as a one-off dart-throw or use him to replace Ertz in a potential stack. 

The Rams rank 16h in DVOA against the opposing slot receiver and are allowing an average of 51.5 receiving yards per game to them. Nailor plays roughly a 50-percent snap count and has seen nine targets over the last two games of the season. He caught a touchdown two weeks ago against the Packers and could be let loose against the Rams if this one turns into a shootout.

With Joshua Palmer out, Davis could be in-line for some extra snaps and targets this week. Based of what he's done in recent games, this could be a really nice dart-throw, especially if a banged-up Quentin Johnston gets limited in any way. In Weeks 16 and 17, Davis has four catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns, but what the box score doesn't tell you, he also had two touchdowns called back on penalties that had nothing to do with him, so you know he's getting the looks from Herbert. He also returns punts and kicks, so if he breaks one, both DraftKings and FanDuel give you points for that.
