3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid for the Conference Championships

Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots

FanDuel Price: $8,400

Let there be points this weekend. With two very heavy over/unders expected this weekend, all four quarterbacks on this slate have a chance to post some monster totals.

But Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have often enjoyed the benefit of playing home playoff games in their dominant run, which won't be the case this weekend as they travel to Kansas City for the AFC Championship game.

Tom Brady's New England Patriots are 3-4 on the road in seven playoff games. They have only played seven times on the road. That's nuts. 21 of the 29 have been at home.

In fact, in this decade (not a typo), Brady has started only two true road playoff games, both of which ended in losses. In 2013, he threw for 276 yards and a score in a setback to the Denver Broncos, and in 2015, he lost to them again, firing for 310 yards, a single score, and two interceptions.

That bodes particularly poorly for Brady and company. While the porous Chiefs defense has allowed a whopping 34.8 points per game on the road, they've sliced that in half to only 17.4 points per game allowed at home, and they limited the high-flying Indianapolis Colts to only 13 points a week ago.

If there's one quarterback to strongly consider fading this weekend, road Tom Brady may be your best bet.
