The 2023 NFL playoffs are officially upon us, which means not only do we have about a month of pro football left before the slog of the offseason, but we still have a chance to put together a winning DFS team on DraftKings for the Super Wild Card Weekend Saturday slate of games.
Let’s find some fantasy football wins to start the NFL postseason!
Top DFS Picks for Super Wild Card Weekend Games on Saturday on DraftKings
Joe Flacco, QB, Cleveland Browns
One could make a real argument that Joe Flacco is one of the hottest quarterbacks heading into the NFL postseason.
He has thrown for a minimum of 300+ yards and 2+ TDs in four straight games, one of which came against the Houston Texans, who they just so happen to be playing this week.
Flacco hasn’t exactly been playing the cleanest brand of football during this stretch, with eight interceptions and four fumbles since taking over under center back in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
However, the big plays through the air have offset the turnovers, making him a quality start this week.
Devin Singletary, RB, Houston Texans
Many fantasy managers have been writing off the Texans running game for the majority of the 2023 season, but did you know RB Devin Singletary has been the RB9 in full-PPR formats since Week 10?
Sure, the matchup against the Browns defense isn’t an ideal one, but Singletary’s volume of work should be enough to have a productive in the full-PPR format of DraftKings this Saturday.
Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins
The former Pro Bowl WR of the Chiefs, Tyreek Hill, has certainly proven how valuable he is to both his current quarterback (Tua Tagovailoa) and former quarterback (Patrick Mahomes) with his outstanding production of the last two years.
Since being traded to the Miami Dolphins, Hill has averaged 119 receptions, 1,754 receiving yards, and 10 TDs per season, which is absurd.
Hill lost a crucial fumble when he faced his former team back in Week 9 and was held to just eight receptions for 62 yards and no scores in a losing effort.
Expect the flashy WR to do everything within his power to pull off the upset at Arrowhead against his old squad and send the defending Super Bowl champions home early.
Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns
The last time we saw Browns WR Amari Cooper on a football field was against the same Texans defense he will be facing off against this Saturday. The results were nothing short of sensational. Cooper produced 265 yards and two scores on 11 receptions in one of the best performances of his lengthy NFL career.

Unfortunately, the veteran WR picked up a heel injury in the game, which led to him being inactive for the final two contests of the 2023 campaign. But he should be good to go against the Texans, which makes him a fantastic starting option this weekend.
David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns
Browns TE David Njoku hasn’t just been one of the TEs in all of fantasy football over the back half of the season; he has been the best TE in all of fantasy football over the back half of the season.
Since Week 7, Njoku is the TE1 overall in full-PPR formats with 62 receptions, 720 yards, and six scores on a healthy 101 targets during that 11-game span.
He has finally managed to put it all together, which finally has him living up to the high fantasy ceiling many believed he had entered the league from the University of Miami.
To give you an idea of his high fantasy floor in recent weeks, Njoku has caught 6+ passes in seven out of his last eight games, which is absolute money in PPR formats.
Start him with confidence against the Texans.
Cleveland Browns Defense
Texans QB C.J. Stroud has been outstanding throughout the majority of his rookie campaign. He has been the catalyst behind one of the biggest year-over-year turnarounds in recent NFL memory.
However, Stroud has drawn one of the toughest matchups of the opening weekend of the NFL postseason. The Browns’ defense has been torturing opposing quarterbacks all season long. Cleveland has allowed an average of just 164.7 passing yards per game this year, which is the lowest mark in the league.
Stroud has a very bright future in the NFL, but just not a great fantasy outlook in his postseason debut.
