One of my favorite aspects of fantasy football has become playing on DraftKings. Every week is like a new puzzle to figure out.

Let\u2019s take a look at my favorite Conference Championship DraftKings plays.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DraftKings Plays for the Conference Championship<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Divisional Round Recap<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s always good to be completely transparent and demonstrate accountability.

This week 63.3% of my recommendations hit the 2.5x value we look for in cash game lineups. This time the quarterback and tight end groups led the way tied at an 83.3% success rate. Meanwhile, the wide receiver and running back groups brought up the rear tied at a 50% success rate. For me personally, it was a nice bounce back. We\u2019ll look to keep the momentum going with the picks and get back into profit with the Conference Championships DraftKings plays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Divisional Round<\/strong> \u2013 $214 \u2192 $118 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($96 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Playoff Total <\/strong>\u2013 $378 \u2192 $252 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($126 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular Season<\/strong> <strong>Total<\/strong> \u2013 $6,194 \u2192 $4,730 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($1,464 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Grand Total<\/strong> \u2013 $6,572 \u2192 $4,982 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($1,590 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conference Championships DraftKings Plays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Quarterbacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo03,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Allen<\/a> (BUF) \u2013 $6,900 @ KC<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Josh Allen is coming off his worst fantasy performance of the season last week and, in turn, his salary is now sitting at the second-lowest price of the season. This is still the same Josh Allen that was the QB1 overall on the season. He\u2019s still averaging 26.9 DraftKings points per game, including playoffs. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\/\" target=\"_self\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> is a great one. The Chiefs are allowing the sixth-most DraftKings points to quarterbacks this season. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bills\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> have turned this offense completely into the Josh Allen show at this point.

Add in that game script is likely to be in favor of Allen throwing more and he should drop back more than ever in this one. This game has a very high O\/U at 54 points right now so should it become a shootout, as expected, it\u2019s extremely likely that Josh Allen is getting it done with his arm and\/or his legs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Most QB rushing TDs in last 2 seasons<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcaa Josh Allen &#8211; 18 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A6o9i37fTz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/A6o9i37fTz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF Fantasy &amp; Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF_Fantasy\/status\/1352708122620657665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RodgAa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> (GB) \u2013 $6,500 v TB<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Running Backs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/F\/FourLe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leonard Fournette<\/a> (TB) \u2013 $5,300 @ GB<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As expected, Leonard Fournette is the leading DraftKings point scorer among all running backs in the playoffs.

The most encouraging part is that he still handled a full workload despite Jones return last week in which he had 13 carries as well. Fournette is also heavily involved in the passing game as he\u2019s seen ten targets over the last two games hauling in nine of them for 83 yards and a score. This usage in the passing game raises his floor tremendously especially in a game where they aren\u2019t favored and therefore game script could force them to play from behind more often. If that\u2019s the case, Fournette should be the one seeing most of those snaps. The running back position is brutal this week and Fournette offers the highest floor among the lower-priced running backs on this slate.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa00,JoneAa20&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Jones<\/a> <\/strong>(GB) \u2013 $6,500 v TB,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/EdwaCl00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clyde Edwards-Helaire<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(KC) \u2013 $5,000 v BUF<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davante Adams<\/a> (GB) \u2013 $8,000 v TB<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Davante Adams finished as the WR1 overall in DraftKings points per game this season with 26.8 per game.

This week it gets much easier against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\/\" target=\"_self\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> pass-funnel defense.

He\u2019s now up to 19 straight games scoring double-digit DraftKings points. Diggs has seen at least six targets in all 19 games this season as well. To say his first season as the main weapon for Josh Allen has gone well would be an understatement. On the season he\u2019s averaged 22.5 DraftKings points per game. This week\u2019s matchup against the Chiefs doesn\u2019t look good on paper. Kansas City has allowed the second fewest DraftKings points per game to wide receivers this season. However, as mentioned earlier, the projected game script looks favorable for the Bills. Should the Bills get into a competitive shootout, Diggs should see heavy volume and return great value this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HillTy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyreek Hill<\/a> <\/strong>(KC) \u2013 $7,200 v BUF,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GodwCh00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Godwin<\/a> <\/strong>(TB) \u2013 $5,400 @ GB,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=BrowJo02,BrowJo22,BrowJo21&amp;search=John+Brown&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Brown<\/a><\/strong> (BUF) \u2013 $4,300 @ KC<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tight Ends<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KelcTr00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travis Kelce<\/a> (KC) \u2013 $8,000 v BUF<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The tight end position is very interesting this week in that Travis Kelce costs more than double the next closest tight end. Even still, he\u2019s worth paying up for. The biggest decision that will likely need to be made is whether to play all three elite wide receivers or whether to substitute one of them out and play Kelce instead. Both lineup builds are viable and will ultimately depend on the rest of the players and how much money is available. That being said, Kelce is playing like a man possessed right now. He now has five straight games of at least 22.8 DraftKings points. He\u2019s also reached that mark in eight of his last nine games. The Bills have allowed the fourth-most DraftKings points to tight ends this season and as mentioned before, this game has a close spread and a high O\/U (54) which should be a good recipe for a back and forth shootout. Should that be the case, Kelce will likely be a main reason for that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travis Kelce made this DB look silly \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thecheckdown?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@thecheckdown<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ihmJxikatK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/ihmJxikatK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1350907300593205248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 17, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TonyRo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Tonyan<\/a><\/strong> (GB) \u2013 $3,600 v TB<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Defense\/Special Teams<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In terms of choosing a defense\/special teams, it\u2019s the last spot I fill in every week.

This forces their opponent to throw it more often which can help lead to extra sacks and turnovers and hopefully a touchdown. Another aspect to target is turnover and sack-prone quarterbacks.
