Below I will highlight a few guys that I perceive will provide value for their price on DraftKings for Week 10 in the NFL.
Quarterback:
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers ($7,500): If you want to spend up on QB this week, Rodgers is the play at home against the Lions. We have been over this before, but we will go over it again. Rodgers is unworldly at Lambeau Field. Since the beginning of the 2014 season, Rodgers is averaging 284 passing yards, and 3 passing touchdowns in 12 home games. He also gets a great matchup this week against the Lions 30th ranked pass defense. He is the play if you are paying up for QB and great for 50/50 or cash games.
Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders ($5,800): If you would like a cheaper quarterback option, Carr is the guy. He has been outstanding the last 2 weeks putting up 30+ fantasy points a game. In those games he has faced the 6th and 13th ranked pass defenses in the Jets and Steelers according to Football Outsiders. He should do even better this week against the mediocre 15th ranked Vikings pass defense. He may simply be too cheap to pass up with his potential.
Running back:
DeAngelo Williams, Pittsburgh Steelers ($6,500): Williams has been fantastic in the 3 games he has started this year. He has averaged 30 fantasy points a game in his 3 starts and his worst game of the three he put up 17.2 points. Double-check that he is healthy and a go, but as long as he is active he will be a great play against the terrible Cleveland rush defense. Cleveland is giving up a league worst 147 rushing yards a game as well as a 29th ranked 4.7 yards per carry. Use Williams.
T.J. Yeldon, Jacksonville Jaguars ($4,800): Yeldon is a perfect 50/50 play this season with a solid 17.2 fantasy points per game his last four games. Most importantly is his volume. Yeldon is averaging 19.5 touches the last four games and is a true three-down back playing over 85% of the snaps for the Jaguars in the last two games. Yeldon also has a minimum of 9.7 points in 6 of his 7 games played and that is with only 2 touchdowns this season. The Jaguars have rumored that Yeldon will start to get the goal line carries and that should increase his points. Yeldon also has a decent matchup against the Ravens 14th ranked rush defense. Fire him up!
