Building the Perfect FanDuel Lineup for NFL Divisional Round

You only have a couple more weeks to fulfill your fantasy football fix on FanDuel. Let's try to make the most of it with the perfect lineup.

There are several good options at kicker this week. It's tough to put Crosby too far above or below any of them. He faces a mediocre Dallas Cowboys defense on Sunday.

8. D/ST Seattle Seahawks - $5,200

The Seahawks are red hot on the defensive side of the ball. By FanDuel's scoring (all scores in this article will be on FanDuel's scale), Seattle has averaged 14.17 fantasy points over their last six games. In Week 8, they put up a solid 11 against this Saturday's opponent, the Carolina Panthers.

7. TE Rob Gronkowski - $7,900

If there's one player I'm making sure to have in my lineup, it's Gronkowski. You have to go back nine games to the last time he didn't score in double digits, and even then he had 9.3. In a way, he's actually a good value play despite being the most expensive tight end. At the other positions, every player that averages at least 15 points as he does costs significantly more. And some players that average less than 15 also cost more than him.

6. QB Tom Brady - $9,100

Brady's had an extra week to prepare for a bad Baltimore Ravens' secondary. He's also at home, and his weapons have had time to rest up.

5. WR Donte Moncrief - $5,500

You have to save some money somewhere, and Moncrief is a great player do it with this week. He put up a respectable 12.9 points last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. He topped 20 points twice this season, so the upside is there, though he was mostly fantasy irrelevant outside of that.

4. WR Terrance Williams - $5,800

After a five-week disappearing act, Williams is back on track averaging 16.4 points over his last three games. He still holds a small risk, but regardless, he's one of the best values of the week.

3. WR Torrey Smith - $7,000

Smith has caught six TD passes over his last five games. On Saturday, he'll take on the New England Patriots' No. 17 ranked pass defense.

2. RB Daniel Herron - $6,100

You have to love how involved Herron was in the passing game against the Bengals (10 receptions, 85 yards). It bodes well for his fantasy ceiling if the Indianapolis Colts get in a shootout with the Denver Broncos. Herron will also get the bulk of the carries, though he has never received more than 12 in a game with Indy's pass-first offense.

1. RB C.J. Anderson - $8,700

Since becoming the starter eight games ago, Anderson has averaged 22.59 points per game and never dropped below double digits. Need I say more?
