4 NFL FanDuel Bargains for the Conference Championship Round

Tom Brady is one of the least expensive starting quarterbacks of the week and has huge upside against the Steelers. Which other bargain-bin players should you target?

With conference championship weekend bringing just a two-game slate, daily fantasy becomes a totally different beast this time of year.

One of the biggest changes lies in how value tends to shake out. With fewer teams, there are significantly fewer spots where an injury allows a player to step into an increased role, which is by far the easiest and most reliable way to find value.

On short slates like this, we have to dig deeper -- you're rarely going to get somebody cheap that has been producing well recently. The key is finding players positioned to overcome their recent struggles, who can give you big production at bargain bin prices.
