Best NFL Divisional Round PrizePicks Plays - Sunday
The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs wraps up Sunday, and Kurt Jones has a trio of PrizePicks plays to pore over.
Best PrizePicks Picks current as of 7:15 AM ET Sunday.
Dalton Schultz 10.5 Fantasy Score (MORE)
With 4-to-8 inches of snow expected during and after kickoff, this game could turn into a full-on snow globe. With Nico Collins out, Schultz should see an uptick in o as a primary read. With how much C.J. Stroud turned the ball over in Pittsburgh, it would not surprise me if Houston leans more heavily on Schultz as a security blanket.
Schultz led the Texans in routes run last week after Collins exited early, and even with a run-heavy game plan I think he can still get there via a couple chunk plays off play-action.
Drake Maye 0.5 Interceptions (MORE)
I'm a Maye guy. He's been fantastic this season. That said, this is a Demon play, and the defenses he's faced haven't exactly been world beaters.
The closest comparison talent-wise is probably Cleveland, and this Houston defense is clearly better, especially on the back end. Maye generally protects the ball, but he's also aggressive pushing it downfield, and batted balls or tipped passes can easily turn into turnovers.
I don't care how it happens as long as it happens. A deflection at the line, a tip off a receiver's hands, whatever. Snow games breed chaos, and I'm more than willing to root for it.
Tyler Higbee 24.5 Receiving Yards (MORE)
A cold, blustery road game and Stafford dealing with a banged-up thumb should push the Rams toward a short passing approach.
That sets up well for Higbee and Colby Parkinson. While Parkinson had the edge in routes and snaps last week, I still view Higbee as the safer option. They each saw three targets, and if Stafford is forced to get the ball out quickly and the Bears at least attempt to take away Puka Nacua then the Higbee underneath routes should be featured.
