NFL DFS DraftKings Picks: Conference Championship Round 2025 (Fantasy Football)

Playoffs! I hope everyone had a great Divisional Round. The final four is here! For this article, I’ll be focusing on my favorite plays on the DraftKing main slate that you can use in both cash games and GPPs. I’ll try to provide some context around each play, but if you’re looking for more content on this slate, be sure to check out these resources:

• Kyle’s First Look Pricing

• Vegas Report

*Note: Plays listed below are in order of salary, NOT necessarily ranked by preferred plays. Additionally, there’s a ton of strong plays on the slate, so this is more of my ‘top tier’ plays when you adjust for salary. For more recommended plays, Kyle and I will have a Best Plays article available in the DFS Pass later today.

Quarterbacks

Josh Allen $7,500 @ KC
On a small slate, I plan to have exposure to all four QBs across a portfolio of lineups, and that starts at the top with Josh Allen. Nothing about this passing matchup stands out as overly positive for Allen, but as we saw last week, even when he doesn’t have a great game as a passer, he can get there for fantasy thanks to his rushing ability, especially near the goal line. In his career against Spags’ Chiefs, Allen is averaging 10.4 attempts, 56 rushing yards and 0.6 rushing TDs per game, and per NextGenStats, the Stallion has recorded 8 designed runs for 35 yards in the playoffs after recording a career low 22 designed runs during the regular season. With a trip to New Orleans on the line and the chance to finally knock off Mahomes in the playoffs for the first time in his career, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Allen go full SuperMan here to win this game with his legs.
