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 FanDuel generally ties into fantasy point outcome, where on DraftKings, matchups and ownership are baked into the algorithm a little more. 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. Premium access grants full list of value plays.

DeShaun Watson has taken a lot of flack since coming into the league, but has actually been a strong fantasy quarterback in his first two starts. While fantasy isn't something to judge a quarterback by, it is for us here. Watson's rushing upside has been what's kept him afloat when he makes his rookie mistakes in the turnover department. Watson has rushed for 41 and 67 yards in his first two starts, and also had a rushing touchdown against the Bengals. The Titans defense has been very lackluster against the pass this season, allowing the third most fantasy points on the season. Football Outsiders also ranks them 24th against the pass, while our secondary rank has them at 30. Neither I disagree with, and a home matchup for Watson at this price tag has me intrigued. While his success is driven through DeAndre Hopkins, you might want to look at stacking the two together.

Honorable Mentions: Andy Dalton, Carson Palmer
