Wild Card Round Start ‘Em: Quarterbacks
Kirk Cousins vs. Giants (Sun. 4:30 p.m. ET, Fox): Cousins has been a solid fantasy option at home, scoring 18-plus points in seven of nine games including five with more than 21 points. One of those games came against New York, as Cousins posted three touchdowns and 21.2 fantasy points against them back in Week 16. The Giants also have allowed 24-plus points to two QBs since Week 14.
Daniel Jones at Vikings (Sun. 4:30 p.m. ET, Fox): Jones was one of the best quarterbacks in fantasy football in the postseason, posting two games with more than 20 points. One of those contests came against the Vikings, who surrendered 334 passing yards and 20.8 points to the versatile quarterback. Minnesota gave up the seventh-most points to quarterbacks this season, so Jones is a nice option.
SI Sportsbook Player Prop: Jones over 40.5 rushing yards (-120)

Dak Prescott at Buccaneers (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Prescott has been very tough to trust in recent weeks, throwing at least one interception in seven consecutive games. He’s also failed to score more than 17 points in all but two of those games. This week’s matchup against the Buccaneers isn’t terrible on paper, but Dak’s recent proneness to turnovers makes him a real risk this weekend.
SI Sportsbook Player Prop: Prescott over 0.5 interceptions (-188)
Geno Smith at 49ers (Sat. 4:30 p.m. ET, Fox): Smith had a surprisingly solid year in fantasy land, scoring 31 total touchdowns and better than 300 points. Still, I have a hard time trusting him in what is a tough matchup in San Francisco. In two games against the NFC West rival during the regular season, Smith scored a combined 21.4 points. That includes a 6.1-point stinker against them on the road.
