Playoff Fantasy Football – Divisional Round Sleepers
QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
If the Seahawks are going to do anything, it’s going to be because Hasselbeck has a big day. There might not be another team in the playoffs who is as dependant on their quarterback than the Seahawks. Hasselbeck is going against the tough Green Bay Packers defense but he should be able to get at least a couple touchdowns.
RB Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers
Grant has been a very good running back for the Packers during the second half of the season. With the weather cold and the Packers looking to lean on their defense, Grant should get a lot of carries this weekend. If the Packers get up early, expect Grant to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 carries.
WR Jabbar Gaffney, New England Patriots
Gaffney has become somewhat of a safety valve for Tom Brady. When things are tough and his stars are covered, Brady has complete confidence in Gaffney to come up with a big grab. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there’s no doubt that Gaffney should be a part of the game plan. The Patriots are going to have to spread the ball around against a solid Jaguars defense.
TE Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars
If the Jaguars want to have a shot to beat the New England Patriots, David Garrard is going to have to have a huge game. While Lewis wasn’t a very active player in the regular season, he has the size and strength to take advantage of some of the age on the Patriots’ defense. Look for the Jaguars to target him in the red zone.
K Nick Folk, Dallas Cowboys
Folk has already shown that he’s a clutch kicker, so you don’t have to worry too much about the playoffs overwhelming him. Against the New York Giants, there’s a good chance he’ll see at least two field goal attempts.
D New York Giants
The Giants have been a very good defensive team this year. After getting off to a slow start, they’ve really turned it on. In the first round of the playoffs, their defense dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the Dallas Cowboys show any signs of rust or nervousness, expect the Giants to be there to take advantage.
