3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in the Divisional Round

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Salary: $8,100

Ben Roethlisberger's home-road splits are old hat by now, but they're worth repeating. Starting in 2014, Big Ben has averaged 17.12 FanDuel points per game on the road, compared to a 30.1-point average in his games at Heinz Field.

That's pretty staggering, and on it's own, it's probably enough to fade Roethlisberger. But the weather and matchup don't do him any favors, either.

Pittsburgh is a 1.5-point underdog for its matchup at the Chiefs, checking in with an implied total of 21.75 points, the worst non-Houston Texans implied total of the weekend. As we just mentioned with Hill, the forecast is calling for rain at near-freezing temperatures, so it's probably not going to be good conditions for tossing the pigskin (although pushing back the kickoff time may help).

Kansas City presents a tough matchup, too, allowing the seventh-fewest FanDuel points to passers over the final four weeks of the regular season. Also, as our Matt Blair pointed out earlier this week in his piece on historical trends, the Chiefs' home games went under the total six out of eight times this season, and the over/under for this one is a measly 45 points.

In terms of ranking, Big Ben is priced about where he should be as the fifth-most expensive quarterback this week. But the four more costly signal callers -- Russell Wilson ($8,200), Aaron Rodgers ($8,800), Matt Ryan ($8,300) and Tom Brady ($8,600) -- are near Roethlisberger's salary, and each of those four has a lot more going for them this weekend. Big Ben's only positive is that he's not a terrible roll of the dice in tourneys since he's unlikely to see much ownership.
