With four games on the slate for the last time this football season, The Black Book will break down the DFS values for each of the major positions on FanDuel and Draft Kings this week. Two sites means two different standards of value. The Black Book’s RPVPD will tell you which to target and which to avoid in the Divisional Playoffs.
Here are the top salaried WR’s on FanDuel ranked with RPVPD:
Player | FPPG | Raw RPV | Salary | Pts per $ | RPV Per Dollar |
16 | 0.442 | 8100 | $506 | 0.202 | |
17 | 0.532 | 8800 | $518 | 0.184 | |
15.6 | 0.406 | 8300 | $532 | 0.161 | |
10.2 | -0.081 | 5500 | $539 | 0.150 | |
11.7 | 0.055 | 6600 | $564 | 0.110 | |
13.1 | 0.181 | 7400 | $565 | 0.109 | |
12.9 | 0.163 | 7900 | $612 | 0.034 | |
11.3 | 0.019 | 7000 | $619 | 0.023 | |
11.9 | 0.073 | 7600 | $639 | -0.007 | |
9.5 | -0.144 | 6100 | $642 | -0.013 | |
8 | -0.279 | 5400 | $675 | -0.065 | |
7.3 | -0.342 | 5200 | $712 | -0.123 | |
9.1 | -0.180 | 6500 | $714 | -0.127 | |
9.9 | -0.108 | 7100 | $717 | -0.131 | |
7.3 | -0.342 | 5500 | $753 | -0.188 | |
6.7 | -0.396 | 5600 | $836 | -0.318 |
It’s a shame Jordy Nelson looks like a non-factor this week. He’s been a DFS stalwart value all year and would be one again this week. Antonio Brown is a strong value, despite the high salary, but only slightly higher than the $500 cheaper Julio Jones. Jones is clearly the No. 1 this week with Ben Roethlisberger on the road and Matt Ryan at home. Ironically, his teammate Taylor Gabriel is the next best value on the half-point PPR scoring FanDuel board and should also be in play against the Jekyll and Hyde Seahawks. Tyreek Hill’s lack of volume will scare off the wise DFS player, but that makes him even more tempting in tournaments as he continues to defy logic by scoring points with very few touches. Davante Adams is the Packers WR to own this week. Randall Cobb’s three-touchdown performance last week isn’t enough to overcome his -13% RPVPD. Malcolm Mitchell is the lowest in terms of cost efficiency and the presence of Michael Floyd with two more weeks of practice to work into the first team offense, hurts his stock this weekend.
Here are the top salaried WR’s on Draft Kings ranked with RPVPD:
Player | FPPG | Raw RPV | Salary | Pts per $ | RPV Per Dollar |
19 | 0.377 | 7400 | $389 | 0.132 | |
13.6 | -0.014 | 5500 | $404 | 0.098 | |
10.8 | -0.217 | 4400 | $407 | 0.092 | |
17 | 0.232 | 7000 | $412 | 0.082 | |
13.5 | -0.021 | 5700 | $422 | 0.058 | |
11.8 | -0.145 | 5000 | $424 | 0.055 | |
9.4 | -0.319 | 4000 | $426 | 0.051 | |
9.1 | -0.340 | 3900 | $429 | 0.044 | |
22 | 0.595 | 9600 | $436 | 0.027 | |
13 | -0.058 | 5800 | $446 | 0.005 | |
18.7 | 0.356 | 8400 | $449 | -0.002 | |
14.6 | 0.058 | 6600 | $452 | -0.008 | |
14.9 | 0.080 | 6800 | $456 | -0.018 | |
17.3 | 0.254 | 8100 | $468 | -0.044 | |
9.1 | -0.340 | 4300 | $473 | -0.054 | |
6.9 | -0.500 | 4700 | $681 | -0.519 |
Hill is still cost effective in the full-point PPR this week, making him an even more intriguing tournament play. The scoring format makes it potentially very difficult for his justification, therefore opportunity arises! Gabriel and Adams lead the charge, while Cole Beasley creeps into the conversation. Beasley and Jason Witten have been Dak Prescott’s security blankets all year and it would stand to reason both will be leaned on heavily in this game with the pressure mounting. Julian Edelman’s lack of touchdown upside hurts him, even in the full-point PPR format. Doug Baldwin could be the trap pick of the week. He had yet another big outing last Saturday, but how many times have we seen him go dormant after a big showing this season? The answer is, numerous times.
