The NFL Conference Championship Round is upon us, and savvy fantasy players are seeking value plays that can elevate their DFS lineups. This week’s analysis focuses on players whose prices do not reflect their potential performance, thereby enabling users to afford higher-priced stars in other positions.

Quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes are highlighted, as he has found his rhythm late in the season, throwing for 12 touchdowns and over 275 yards per game in recent weeks. Despite a rough start, he remains an affordable option aiming for a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

In the running back category, Kareem Hunt has emerged as a strong candidate, particularly against a Buffalo defense vulnerable to opposing rushers, while Austin Ekeler continues to be a reliable option in the passing game. At wide receiver, Keon Coleman is poised for a breakout in a high-scoring matchup, while Dyami Brown's recent playoff performances solidify his potential. Tight ends like Zach Ertz and Dawson Knox round out the roster of undervalued players expected to deliver in key matchups.
