Playoff FanDuel Picks: NFL DFS roster tips for Patriots-Bills Wild Card singles game tournaments
The Patriots and Bills play each other in a late game on Saturday on the opening day of the Wild Card round, and while it was a defensive game, we’re taking a look at some explosive pass catchers in our FanDuel single game lineup. We can’t shade Josh Allen here, but we do have some picks under the radar hoping to break away from the group in the DFS playoff tournaments.
Here are the main scoring settings for FanDuel’s single game competitions: The total score for “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost him any extra money like “Captain” in competitions the DraftKings Showdown exam. FanDuel’s default score is Half point PPR and TDs pass four points, and no bonuses for 100/300 yard matches like on DraftKings.

FanDuel One-Game DFS Selection: Patriot vs. Bills
Budget $50,000, need at least one player from each team.
MVP: (1.5 times points): QB Josh Allen, Bills ($17,500)
Yes, this will have chalk, but since Allen can get the job done on the ground and in the air, we’re eating chalk for the upside down. He is one of the safest picks regardless of game conditions. He can play in good weather, bad weather, a close game, a loss etc. Allen along with a few catchers have paid off this season, so we’ll go. don’t back down when it’s playoff time.
FLEX: TE Dawson Knox, Bills ($11,000)
Knox doesn’t gain much mass, but his efficiency and upside-down exposure appeals to FanDuel because it’s not a full PPR score. Big games and touchdowns carry more weight in this format, and you’d have to think New England would do anything and everything to limit Stefon Diggs in the third edition of this AFC East battle. Expect other Bills password catchers to join.
FLEX: RB Damien Harris, Patriot ($14,000)
The Bills have given up the most plunges over 40 yards (4) and the sixth most hits (19), so Harris and/or Rhamondre Stevenson will have to be in for a big game in the attack. Patriots’ first publicity. However, Harris is more likely to get high value touches near the end zone, so we’re fine with paying him. However, you can choose Stevenson and redo other selections.
FLEX: WR Gabriel Davis, Bills ($9,500)
Just like Knox, Davis is appealing here thanks to his upside down ability and Diggs’ idea that New England would be everything. Davis is leaving the list of 14 top goals of the season, and he is clearly more explosive than Emmanuel Sanders (knee), who will be “questionable” for this game.
FLEX: WR Kendrick Bourne, The Patriot ($9,500)
The Bills have the hardest defensive pass in terms of total allowed yards, but it allows for as many passes as 20+ yards (31), so the way to beat it is to shoot deep and take chances. . New England may want to keep this game going, but at some point Mac Jones will have to make big throws, and Bourne is likely to play big here too. We can’t expect patriots to maintain dribbles with short passes, so, ironically, grit is the way to get it done. You can also try Nelson Agholor here, but Bourne has been this year.
