Week in and week out we are diving into the best value plays at various positions. Each week always plays out differently, especially when deciding what areas to spend down on, and where to spend up. While many articles point out the top values, we hope to guide you in lineup construction as well. Pricing on DraftKings generally ties into fantasy point outcome, matchups, and ownership a little more than FanDuel does who use production as a heavier weight. Injuries, seasonal changes, and matchups all create value, and here at DFC we break that down for you. Our content is focused on the Main Slates, but you can find me answering questions in the comments, or on Twitter at @JGuilbault11.
Projections and Cafe Value disagree with me on this one, as I like Brian Hoyer's value this week and expect to outperform his 12.68 cash game projection. Hoyer has been a reliable fantasy quarterback, unlike many of the backups who step into a starting role. San Francisco is expected be near a three touchdown total, and that will be the case in some situations this year. Carolina's defense should be better than last year's, but in Week 1 at home I don't mind taking shots with this offense. The core of Carlos Hyde, Brian Hoyer, Pierre Garcon, and Marquise Goodwin is not all that bad for fantasy purposes. The again, we compare everything to the Jets, and they are god awful. Hoyer filled in nicely for injuries in the past, and completed 68% of his passes for Chicago last year. There are guys like Carson Wentz in this range as well, or Carson Palmer for an extra $900. Cheap quarterbacks on DraftKings make for viable plays, which is a difference in strategy from the two sites.
