3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in the Divisional Round
Tyreek Hill is electric and capable of ripping off big plays, but he hasn't seen more than eight touches in any of the Chiefs' previous five games, making him a scary cash-game option.

Volume is typically king in fantasy football, but Tyreek Hill has bucked that trend. Despite ending the regular season ranked outside the top-40 wideouts in targets, receptions and receiving yards, Hill has been a tournament stud in DFS thanks to his big-play ability.

He's averaged 16.73 FanDuel points per game over his last six outings, but he's done so without being a big part of the Kansas City Chiefs' attack in terms of touches.

Hill has seen 10 touches just once during his six-game tear, including a one-touch game against the Tennessee Titans, although he took that one touch 68 yards for a touchdown. Hill has been mixing in more in the backfield, getting nine total carries over his past two contests, but the overall lack of volume means he has to hit for a big play to have a respectable fantasy day.

The Pittsburgh Steelers present a difficult matchup as they allowed the fifth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing wideouts in 2016. Weather, specifically rain, might be an issue, and the Chiefs have a pedestrian implied total of 23.25 points.

Hill has some appeal as a tourney play because of his game-breaking talent, but his volume makes him very hard to stomach in cash games.
