4 NFL FanDuel Bargains for the Conference Championship Round

Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots

FanDuel Price: $8,300

We're basically left with four stud quarterbacks, but with two priced above $9,000, I get the luxury of writing up an elite fantasy option as a bargain in Tom Brady.

The New England Patriots' matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers doesn't project to be the shootout like the NFC championship, but that doesn't take away from just how much of a threat the Patriots are to do damage through the air. New England's 28-point implied total is the second-highest on the slate, and the Steelers finished the regular season ranking 21st in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play.

Brady has no shortage of upside, having finished as a top six fantasy quarterback in six of his 12 games during the regular season. He also has thrown for at least three touchdowns in seven games, including three of his last five.

Those two games he failed to hit that mark came in much tougher matchups than he has this week, where he faced defenses that our metrics have ranked top-10 against the pass.
