Top NFL DFS plays for the Divisional Round

We have a four-game divisional slate with very little room for error. Remember, the lineups you put in are yours, and if you really like a player that’s not on my list, I suggest that you play him. These are the plays that I think can get us in the green. You can follow me on x @TrustinTrevor21

2026 NFL Playoffs: Top Divisional Round DFS Picks

Quarterbacks

Sam Darnold, Seahawks (DK: $5,400 | FD: $7,300)

I know Darnld has an oblique injury, but that’s not going to faze me. I think this game has a great chance to be the highest-scoring game on the slate, and I expect Seattle to put up close to 30 points. I think his receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver on this late and I’m going to pair them up in a lot of lineups.

Drake Maye, Patriots (DK: $6,300 | FD: $8,000)

Maye scored 19 points last week against the Chargers in a defensive battle. I do expect a defensive battle, but I think he rushes for 50 yards for a touchdown. I think the defense will create turnovers, putting him in good spots.

Matt Stafford, Rams (DK: $6,600 | FD: $8,300)

I don’t expect the weather to affect the Rams at all. I think he can throw for 250 yards and three touchdowns.

Josh Allen, Bills (DK: $7,100 | FD: $9,000)

I am not as high on Allen as everybody else, but I can’t leave him out of the DFS article, especially on a short slate. He can put the team on his back and get it done with his legs and score a rushing touchdown. I can see a low-scoring playoff round, meaning he can make the winning lineups with 20+ points.
