5 NFL FanDuel Bargains for the Divisional Round
Dak Prescott draws one of the best matchups among quarterbacks this week. Which other bargain-bin players should you target?

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Dak Prescott has one of the best matchups for a quarterback that you could ask for this week, and easily has the best matchup among the cheaper tier of signal-callers.

The Green Bay Packers finished the regular season ranking 23rd in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play (the second-worst mark among the eight teams in action this weekend), while finishing 10th against the run. This discrepancy led to teams doing the bulk of their damage through the air against the Packers, and Green Bay allowed the league's seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

That fantasy scoring came with plenty of consistency, and the eight QB1 (top-12) weeks they allowed to opponents were tied for seventh-most in the league.

Prescott has shown decent upside relative to his price tag, exceeding 20 FanDuel points in 6 of his 16 games. He was also incredibly consistent, only dipping below 18 FanDuel points five times, while his 10 weeks finishing as a QB1 were tied for the fourth-most among all quarterbacks.

His consistency should give him a solid floor, and this excellent matchup also gives him a strong ceiling.
