This Market Advantage column aims to discover players whose respective salaries are too low considering their expected production. This can obviously change from site-to-site, so I will outline the respective site featured that particular player's discount. The sites featured in today's column are FanDuel, DraftKings, and DraftDay.

However, just because a player is well-priced, it doesn't mean you should automatically click them into a lineup. Due to this, a label will be attached to every player (red/yellow/green light) assessing their viability for tonight's game.

So with that, here are the most favorably priced players in the Daily Fantasy Market for Saturday, March 7:

Kenneth Faried – PF – DEN: FanDuel ($6,100), DraftKings ($6,100), DraftDay ($11,100) GREEN LIGHT

He's still underpriced when considering his new role out of Brian Shaw's doghouse. The price is most favorable on FanDuel, but feel free to target him across the board in a great home matchup.


DeMarcus Cousins – C – SAC: DraftKings ($9,600) GREEN LIGHT

Still way too cheap. Whenever DMC is below $10k, it can be considered some sort of pricing fluke. Take advantage.


Kevin Martin – SG – MIN: DraftKings ($5,900) GREEN LIGHT

Martin came off a one-game absence with a pretty brutal performance last time out. However, we can take comfort in the fact that he hoisted 15 shots in 30 minutes. His price has been driven down accordingly, leaving room for profit potential in this expect tight draw vs Portland.


Arron Afflalo – SG – POR: FanDuel ($4,500), DraftKings ($4,100) GREEN LIGHT

With Wes Matthews sidelined, Afflalo figures to see a larger role for Portland. He's a volatile DFS option, proven by his days in Denver. Still, this low price point alleviates most of the risk.


Danilo Gallinari – SF – DEN: FanDuel ($5,300) GREEN LIGHT

He's actually cheaper on FanDuel, which profiles well in this projected tight, high scoring game.


Terrence Jones – PF – HOU: FanDuel ($6,700) GREEN LIGHT

Here's another guy cheaper on FanDuel than DraftKings. Denver ranks dead last in FP allowed to Power Forwards, so this is a great spot for Jones.


Robin Lopez – C – POR: DraftKings ($4,000) GREEN LIGHT

Very cheap price, very good matchup (MIN 30th in D-eff vs Centers). He's not a flattering pick, but someone who is seeing 30+ minutes in a fast-paced game.


Mike Conley – PG – MEM: FanDuel ($6,200), DraftKings ($6,000), DraftDay ($11,650) GREEN LIGHT

He's marginally underpriced across the industry, and the matchup at New Orleans profiles favorably. However, there are several viable PG's in this pricing category, so be sure to weigh your options accordingly.


Andrew Wiggins – SF – MIN: DraftDay ($11,200) GREEN LIGHT

For some reason, Wiggins always seems underpriced on DraftDay. He's cheaper than guys like Kevin Martin, Trevor Ariza, and Josh Smith over there, easily sitting at higher price points than those three everywhere else.


Kyrie Irving – PG – CLE: DraftKings ($7,500) YELLOW LIGHT

Very cheap on DraftKings, and playing up in pace vs Phoenix. There's some reason value at PG below him, reserving Kyrie more for tournaments than anything.


Tyler Johnson – PG – MIA: FanDuel ($3,700), DraftKings ($3,000), DraftDay ($5,050) YELLOW LIGHT

If Johnson starts for Miami once again (Dragic questionable), he's a great value play across the industry. I would be particularly fond of using him on DraftDay at minimum salary for a much needed cap saver. If he is in fact starting, the yellow light turns to green.


Anthony Davis – PF – NO: DraftDay ($18,950) YELLOW LIGHT

For comparison's sake, he owns the highest salary on DraftKings and FanDuel. However, he's significantly cheaper than LeBron ($21,650) and the same price as Cousins on DraftDay. Still, the tough matchup makes it difficult to take advantage.


Al Horford – C – ATL: DraftDay ($13,900) YELLOW LIGHT

Very nice price point on DraftDay, where he is significantly cheaper than comparable Centers like Marc Gasol, and PF's like Paul Millsap and Kevin Love. However, the blowout factor leaves me apprehensive.


Khris Middleton – SG – MIL: DraftKings ($5,900) YELLOW LIGHT

Slightly discounted here compared to other sites. He's not a must play due to the salary fluctuation, as I would rather take Kevin Martin for the same exact price (better matchup/game flow).


Ersan Ilyasova – PF – MIL: FanDuel ($4,500) YELLOW LIGHT

He's slightly more on DraftKings, but he can still be considered for an F or UTIL filler over there. Since returning from injury, he has amassed 30+ FP in 4 of the last 6.


Gorgui Dieng – C – MIN: DraftKings ($5,200) YELLOW LIGHT

If we were certain Nikola Pekovic is limited, Dieng would become one of the better values of the day. However, we can't bank on that, leaving Dieng's minutes in question. He's a nice speculative tournament play.
