NFL Week 5: Examining DraftKings Cafe Value

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. Premium access grants full list of value plays.

It likely will not be pretty, and there will be a lot of swearing involved, but Carson Palmer will end the day as a decent fantasy scoring quarterback. Philadelphia has allowed 366 and 347 yards over the last two games, and have allowed the 9th most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Palmer is throwing the ball a ton, averaging over 40 attempts per game, which is good given the touchdowns have been lacking for this Cardinals offense. On DraftKings the 300-yard bonus helps Palmer out. He has thrown over 300 yards in each of the last three games, and has been above 45 passing attempts in each. Despite just a 19 team total, and an east coast trip, Palmer will find himself in the 19-22 fantasy point range. If you need to go lower, Jacoby Brissett, Brian Hoyer, and Jay Cutler are all sitting in prime spots, yet carry some risk.
