Just four NFL teams remain as the Super Bowl LI matchup is determined on Sunday. Both games take place Sunday, January 22 as part of a double header. DFS players wishing to set a lineup will only have Sunday to participate as opposed to the opening weeks of the playoffs that had games on both Saturday and Sunday. Players will be looking for an edge with such a shallow player pool to choose from. In addition to our top picks, here are a few players to keep your eye on as you set your DraftKings lineup. Ben Roethlisberger offers a nice bargain at quarterback this week for just $5,800. Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison could be worth a flyer in tournaments. Allison is just $3,800 and stands to benefit if Jordy Nelson cannot play against the Falcons. Depending on his health, Falcons receiver Taylor Gabriel is another player worth a flyer at $4,900. Randall Cobb is a sneaky play at wide receiver with a $5,900 price tag. If you are looking to save money at tight end, Jesse James is a solid option at $2,700 if Ladarius Green is unable to play against the Patriots. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @JonDAdams with any fantasy football related questions. Players are listed in order from least to greatest level of priority.

No. 9 Pittsburgh Steelers DST
Position: Defense
Matchup: at Patriots
Price: $2,300
Put Them in Your Lineup: With the Steelers offensive weapons, it does not make sense to pay up for the Patriots DST. The Steelers defense have been the most consistent unit of the three remaining DST's. Pittsburgh has scored eight or more fantasy points in seven games this season. They have the potential to force turnovers against the Patriots in what could be a low scoring AFC Championship. (Getty)
No. 8 WR Chris Hogan
Team: New England Patriots
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: vs. Steelers
Price: $3,900
Put Him in Your Lineup: Hogan had 13 DraftKings points against the Texans despite leaving the game early with an injury. The injury will not sideline Hogan against the Steelers. We like taking a flyer on him for a price tag under $4,000. Hogan had seven games this season where he hit double digits. Playing Hogan as your flex allows you to pay up for three top-level wide receivers. (Getty)
No. 7 RB Tevin Coleman
Team: Atlanta Falcons
Position: Running Back
Matchup: vs. Packers
Price: $4,800
Put Him in Your Lineup: The Falcons offense has proven it can support two fantasy-viable running backs. Coleman has had 14 or more DraftKings points in three straight games with 16, 14 and 22 points the last three weeks. Even with DeVonta Freeman's production, Coleman got 14 touches against the Seahawks. Atlanta utilizes him in both the passing and rushing attack making him a cheaper option than Freeman. Coleman has a good chance of at least hitting his 15 point average against the Packers. (Getty)
No. 6 TE Martellus Bennett
Team: New England Patriots
Position: Tight End
Matchup: vs. Steelers
Price: $3,300
Put Him in Your Lineup: Bennett has been boom or bust this season. There's a good chance Sunday's game is one of Bennett's big games. The Steelers give up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends of any of the remaining teams. There are no great options at tight end for Sunday's games. It makes sense to save your money and make a bargain play with a player like Bennett who has a lot of upside. Look for Bennett to find the end zone against Pittsburgh and at least hit his 10 point average. (Getty)
No. 5 QB Matt Ryan
Team: Atlanta Falcons
Position: Quarterback
Matchup: vs. Packers
Price: $7,700
Put Him in Your Lineup: It is hard to go wrong at quarterback this week. All four signal callers are viable options, but the Packers-Falcons point total is about 10 points higher than the Steelers-Patriots game. Ryan has averaged 2.2 DraftKings points more at home this season. Ryan and the Falcons offense has been on fire as of late. He is coming off 28 and 32 point performances in his last two games. Ryan has a solid matchup in the Georgia Dome against a Packers defense that gave up the seventh most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Ryan had 24 points the last time these two teams squared off in Week 8, and you can expect another great performance on Sunday. (Getty)
No. 4 RB LeGarrette Blount
Team: New England Patriots
Position: Running Back
Matchup: vs. Steelers
Price: $4,400
Put Him in Your Lineup: DFS players are likely fading Blount after Dion Lewis received the majority of touches last week against the Texans. New England changes their offensive gameplan each week, and Blount has been a big part of the Patriots success this season. The Steelers are a much more favorable matchup for Blount. He had his best game of the season against Pittsburgh in Week 7. Blount rushed for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns which gave him 29 DraftKings points. Taking a risk at running back allows you to fit a couple of the elite receiving options in your lineup. (Getty)
No. 3 WR Davante Adams
Team: Green Bay Packers
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: at Falcons
Price: $6,600
Put Him in Your Lineup: With Jordy Nelson unlikely to play, Adams will continue to benefit from Aaron Rodgers looking his way. He's had 22 targets the last two weeks. Adams is averaging 16.8 DraftKings points this season. He has had 12 or more fantasy points in four straight games. Adams has 19 points the last time these two teams squared off. With the way Aaron Rodgers is playing, we like having his number one target against a Falcons secondary that has proven to be vulnerable. (Getty)
No. 2 WR Julio Jones
Team: Atlanta Falcons
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: vs. Packers
Price: $8,200
Put Him in Your Lineup: Jones may have weeks where he under-performs, but no player has as much upside. He has eight games this season with 20 or more DraftKings points. He faces a Packers secondary that has given up big plays this season. Jones averages nearly six more points at home where the Falcons play one of their biggest games in franchise history on Sunday. With the amount of points that are likely to be put up at the Georgia Dome, we like having the best receiver in the game in our lineup. (Getty)
No. 1 WR Antonio Brown
Team: Pittsburgh Steelers
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: at Patriots
Price: $8,800
Put Him in Your Lineup: Brown made headlines this week for the wrong reasons for posting Mike Tomlin's locker room speech on Facebook Live. It is hard to imagine it is possible to be even more motivated when a Super Bowl appearance is on the line, but Brown is going to want to ensure he puts up a performance that makes up for his error in judgment. Brown has produced in a big way over the last month. He has had 19, 32 and 25 DraftKings points in his last three weeks. Look for Brown to go over his 21 fantasy point average. (Getty)
