We debuted a new tool this season for subscribers that identifies the best FanDuel values in any given week. The lower the $/Point, the better the value. Here are the first few rows of the table so you have an idea of what it's all about.
Let's take a look at the top 5 values at each position for Week 11:
QBs
1. Vince Young ($363)
2. Aaron Rodgers ($384)
3. Tyler Palko ($391)
4. Tarvaris Jackson ($395)
5. John Skelton ($399)
This looks like Aaron Rodgers and a bunch of high-risk, inexpensive picks. Young is an interesting pick since he has had a lot of fantasy success in the past, but the Giants are pretty good at pressuring the QB.
RBs
1. Michael Bush ($399)
2. Fred Jackson ($454)
3. Marshawn Lynch ($457)
4. DeMarco Murray ($467)
5. Adrian Peterson ($478)
Peterson and Jackson are two high-priced guys, while Bush, Lynch and Murray can all be had for $7,500 or less. For Lynch and Bush, the Rams (#5) and Vikings (#10) are both in the top 10 in Adjusted FP allowed to RBs. The Redskins are a little better (#16), but haven't fared very well of late.
WRs
1. Denarius Moore ($461)
2. Calvin Johnson ($464)
3. Earl Bennett ($472)
4. Laurent Robinson ($484)
5. Brandon Marshall ($501)
Moore busted out with a big game against the Chargers last week and looks to continue his roll against a banged-up Vikings secondary. Earl Bennett and Laurent Robinson are two more inexpensive options.
TEs
1. Rob Gronkowski ($577)
2. Greg Olsen ($609)
3. Ed Dickson ($621)
4. Brandon Pettigrew ($632)
5. Dennis Pitta ($655)
Gronk is the most expensive TE this week, but it looks like he's worth it. Olsen is a sneaky play at $5,700 especially with Jeremy Shockey nicked up.
