All fantasy scores mentioned in this slideshow are according to FanDuel's scoring system. Now let's get to my best shot at the perfect lineup for NFL Wild Card Weekend.

9. K Adam Vinatieri - $4,900

Vinatieri missed just one field goal this season on his way to becoming the third-highest scoring kicker in the league. He'll be kicking indoors against the Cincinnati Bengals this week.

8. D/ST Carolina Panthers - $5,300

The Panthers have put up fantasy scores of 31, 9, 10 and 10 over the last four weeks. On Saturday, Carolina is a good bet to keep it going against the Ryan Lindley-led Arizona Cardinals.

7. TE Jermaine Gresham - $5,300

Gresham has found the end zone in three straight weeks. With A.J. Green in danger of sitting due to the concussion protocol, Gresham could be in for some added targets against the Indianapolis Colts.

6. RB Daniel Herron - $5,400

Herron is a nice value play, though his upside is limited. He is the lead back on a high-powered offense, but he has only topped 13 touches once this season. He'll take on the subpar Cincinnati Bengals' run defense on Sunday.

5. RB Joique Bell - $6,600

The Detroit Lions were forced to abandon the run early last week, which made for a disappointing six-point performance from Bell. In the four weeks prior to that, Bell averaged 19.88 fantasy points per game. He should get back on track against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.

4. QB Ben Roethlisberger - $8,500

With Le'Veon Bell likely to sit this week, a pass-heavy attack can be expected for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's likely to be a successful attack at home against a bad Baltimore Ravens secondary.

3. WR Martavis Bryant - $5,600

Bryant only played against the Ravens once this season, but he managed 18.2 fantasy points. He is one of the best value plays of the week, and his upside is enormous.

2. WR Dez Bryant - $9,100

Bryant finished second in the league with 16 touchdowns, six of which were added over the last three weeks. The Dallas Cowboys take on a Detroit Lions defense that stuffs the run better than any team. That could mean a few extra targets for Bryant.

1. WR Antonio Brown - $9,200

I'm all-in on the Steelers' passing attack this week. Brown has been a monster all season. He could be an even scarier one against the Ravens if Bell is out of the picture. In two meetings with Baltimore, Brown compiled 21 receptions for 234 receiving yards with one TD.
