The NFL is down to the final four teams chasing the championship this Sunday. The NFC Conference Championship game starts the day with the Commanders visiting the Eagles, and the AFC Conference Championship follows that as the Chiefs host the Bills. Each of these four teams have plenty of stars and bring good potential production, but there are always some surprises in store. To help you build your fantasy lineups, I’ve picked out my top three fantasy football sleepers at WR who could produce big games on Sunday at their affordable salaries.
DraftKings has a variety of contests to choose from with different payouts and structures. The biggest prize pool, though, is in the NFL $3M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st, TD Throne Eligible] that offers a $1 Million top prize for a $25 entry.
Each week of the season, I’ve selected my top fantasy football sleeper picks at wide receiver on Saturday. While normally I have been picking five cheap plays, this week I found two strong options to build around. As usual, these fantasy football sleepers are a little off the radar, but I love their upside at their DFS salary.
Dyami Brown, Washington Commanders ($4,400)
Brown had a slow start to the season, but he emerged as the team’s second receiver after the Commanders lost Noah Brown (kidney) for the season. Brown had at least three catches in each of the last four games of the regular season and has stepped up even more in the postseason.
He lit up the Bucs with five catches for 89 yards and this touchdown in the Wild Card round and followed that with six catches for 98 yards against the Lions last week.
Endzone angle of Jayden Daniels’ deep ball to Dyami Brown is even more ridiculous

He had four catches for 56 yards against the Eagles in Week 16, and he should be heavily involved again this week. Getting him under $4,500 is a great way to save salary but still have both a high floor and a high ceiling this Sunday.
Curtis Samuel, Buffalo Bills ($3,500)
The Bills have used a variety of receivers behind Khalil Shakir ($5,700) this season. Amari Cooper ($4,100) and Keon Coleman ($3,700) are more expensive this week than Samuel, but Samuel has been more involved lately and brings good big-play potential.
In the Wild Card game, Samuel had three catches for 68 yards, a touchdown and 15.8 fantasy points.

Samuel had only two catches for nine yards last week against the Ravens, but Cooper and Coleman only combined for a single catch. Samuel’s two catches gave him multiple receptions in three straight games and four of his last five.
Earlier this season, Samuel had five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs, posting a season-high 16.8 fantasy points. He has the potential to post a similar total in the rematch this week, and if he does, he’ll be a great play under $4,000.
