The Patriots are favored by 3 points at home after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild card round, while the Texans overcame the Steelers.

Below,we’ll break down some of the top Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) plays for this intriguing Divisional showdown.
Drake Maye, QB, patriots (FLEX $13,000, CPT $19,500)
Points will likely be at a premium in this game, but Maye offers the most upside of anyone on either roster. The Texans frequently employ man coverage, which could create scrambling opportunities for the young quarterback throughout the afternoon.
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots (FLEX $11,200, CPT $16,800)
Stevenson has been playing exceptionally well, continuing his strong form last week with 128 rushing yards on 14 carries. While his overall touch count remains moderate, he’s consistently outperforming rookie TreVeyon Henderson and has established himself as the primary option near the goal line and in passing situations. He’ll likely need to contribute through the air to find space against this stout defense,but his recent performance
JuJu Smith-Schuster,WR,Patriots (FLEX $6,800,CPT $10,200)
Smith-schuster had a solid outing last week,hauling in six of his eight targets for 84 yards in that contest. With Collins out again this week, Hutchinson could see increased playing time, tho he remains a risky option given the other receivers ahead of him. Though, the ball is highly likely to be spread around, and opting for the more affordable play makes sense if you need to manage your budget.
Hunter Henry, TE, Patriots (FLEX $7,600, CPT $11,400)
