Players to avoid on the Sunday Slate for DFS of Super Wild Card Weekend

Super Wild Card Weekend continues with a tripleheader on Sunday, starting in Buffalo, where the Bills welcome the Steelers. Then to Dallas, where Jordan Love will be making his first career playoff start. The day is ending with the first-ever playoff game at Ford Field Where Matthew Stafford returns home setting up a revenge game for both him and Jared Goff. 

This piece is designed for the single-day slate featuring these three games but can be applied if you are building a team across the entire weekend, as it will be matchup-focused.

Quarterbacks to Avoid

Mason Rudolph ($5,300)

Don’t get cute here. There are several top options for the QB position on this slate, and while you may be saving some salary, it will not be worth it. The Steelers will be able to pull off the upset if they focus on controlling the ball and keeping Buffalo off the field. Pittsburgh will not want to get into a track meet with Josh Allen.  

Jordan Love ($6,300)

Jordan Love enters this game on a three-game streak of scoring over 20 DraftKings fantasy points and is almost the sole reason why the Packers are playing in the postseason.

While this game could become a high-scoring affair, it will be one-sided as the Cowboys average 37.4 PPG at home and limit their opponents to 15.9 PPG. Love could see some “garbage time” opportunities as they will often be playing from behind, but there is potential for disappointment due to how dominant the Cowboys' defense is at home.
