The best way to cash on weekly fantasy football sites is to load up on as many stars with good matchups as possible. Due to budget restraints, however, fantasy players must sacrifice other positions to nab the stars they want.
Here, you'll find the top bargains at each position on Draft Kings that will let you splurge elsewhere.
Top Bargains On Fanduel For Week 10 At Each Position
Quarterbacks
1. Joe Flacco, Ravens ($5,500): The Ravens can’t really be this bad can they? Joe Flacco has the ability to put up monster games sometimes, and coming off a bye, with a home date vs. Jacksonville’s woeful pass defense, this is a prime opportunity for Flacco to shine. No Steve Smith hurts, but he’ll make it work.
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets ($5,100): This is a Thursday game, so get your roster in early. Fitzpatrick just throws two touchdown passes a game like clockwork, and he’s always flirting with 300 yards. He doesn’t do it in a pretty fashion, but the skill players around him mitigate his limitations. As long as Brandon Marshall is active, Fitz will be solid.
Top Waiver Wire Adds Of Week 10
3. Matt Cassel, Cowboys ($5,000): Cassel’s skill players are back, so even though he’s pretty bad, against a weak pass D like Tampa Bay’s there’s no reason he can’t approach 300 yards and two touchdown passes.
Running Backs
1. Jonathan Stewart, Panthers ($4,300): RUN to play Stewart in Draft Kings this week. Tennessee has one of the worst rush defenses in football, and they’re due for a letdown following Sunday’s emotional win over the Saints in New Orleans. Carolina pounds defenses with Stewart, and this week he’ll be tearing off huge chunks of yardage.
2. Giovani Bernard, Bengals ($4,700): The Texans D is bad in all the places where J.J. Watt isn’t, but they rank dead-last vs. RBs in the passing game. That’s Bernard’s specialty, so even though Jeremy Hill looks primed for a big game as well, this could just be a blowout party for the Bengals.
3. Ryan Mathews, Eagles ($3,500): Mathews has scored touchdowns in three of his last four games, and while he remains in the lesser part of a time share, he’s been consistently more productive than DeMarco Murray. His role will slowly increase, and like Karlos Williams in Buffalo, it hasn’t mattered because he’s making his limited touches count.
Wide Receivers
1. Martavis Bryant, Steelers ($5,500): It stinks that Ben Roethlisberger is out of action again, but the Browns’ pass defense is nothing to worry about. Bryant is almost matchup-proof because of his size and his type of game. Landry Jones has proven he can find Bryant deep, so his production rests in whether or not he comes down with the ball.
2. Davante Adams, Packers ($4,200): Adams hasn’t had the year many projected for him once Jordy Nelson got hurt, but last week he was targeted 11 times, bringing in seven for 93 yards. It may be that he’s finally healthy, and ready to make a major impact on Green Bay’s offense. Aaron Rodgers’ second-half explosion vs. Carolina was encouraging.
3. Jamison Crowder, Redskins ($3,500): Crowder is a favorite of Kirk Cousins, so even though DeSean Jackson is back, Crowder will remain a high-target receiver. Jackson’s downfield game allows for big plays, but not for volume. Crowder will benefit from the attention Jackson draws, and pick on New Orleans’ terrible secondary.
Tight Ends
1. Gary Barnidge, Browns ($4,800): This man is the TE version of Rodney Dangerfield. No respect! Pittsburgh is ranked 21st vs. TEs, and yet Barnidge, who has scored in five of Cleveland’s nine games, still isn’t a top-3 TE in terms of price. Good! Use him on the cheap and have a fun Sunday.
2. Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($4,800): Talent-wise, Kelce has an argument as the No. 2 TE in football behind Rob Gronkowski. He’s cheap this week because of Denver’s scary defense, but they have been vulnerable to TEs. Rare for a star to make this list.
3. Crockett Gillmore, Ravens ($2,800): How’s this for an unorthodox stack? Flacco and Gillmore combine for the price of one high-end WR. That’s value kids! Gillmore is up against a bad pass defense, and one that especially struggles against tight ends.
