NFL DFS FanDuel Picks: Divisional Round 2025 (Fantasy Football)

DFS strategy is different on small playoff slates. It’s important to get unique, but that becomes tricky when you have fewer options to choose from on these smaller slates. Ultimately, we’re looking for the highest ceiling and a few spots to get different, if it makes sense.

FanDuel offers multiple slates for the Divisional Weekend. You can play each day individually or combined. Sunday is considered the “main” slate. In this article, I’ll offer my favorite way to approach each position across the weekend, making sure to cover players from both days.

Quarterbacks

Note: There is nothing wrong with playing Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson this week, but I won’t be detailing them here. They will be popular, so make sure to get different elsewhere if you’re rolling with the MVP candidates.

Jayden Daniels @ DET – $8,500

Daniels feels like the safest click of the weekend. He’s likely to drop back early and often as the Commanders are 8.5-point underdogs in a game with a tantalizing 55.5 over/under and a 4.5 Game Pace Score (GPS). His ability to scramble gives him a safe floor against a Detroit team that allowed the fourth-most rushing yards and third-most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks during the season. His passing potential against a Detroit team that ranked dead last in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs from Weeks 15-17 gives him the ceiling to be the top-scoring player this weekend.
