After Thursday's classic combination of overindulgence and narrative rejuvenating-I'm sure your dad reminded you early and often that TONY ROMO ALWAYS CHOKES-we look toward this Sunday for the next round of our FanDuel experiment. Today, we'll highlight four players that vary from slightly underpriced to incredibly, inexplicably cheap for their expected production.
QB - Eli Manning, $7200
There is a fish, popular mainly in Japan, that can only be eaten through the most intricate and careful of preparations. If prepared incorrectly, the poor sap stuck eating it will die from poisoning. Eli Manning is that fish, mouth agape and useful only in the most delicately prepared situations. This week, he faces a Jaguars defense that, while definitely improved and better than expected, still struggles to contain the pass. Cheaper than Michael Vick or Kyle Orton, Eli is cheap and poised for a solid outing.
RB - Rashad Jennings, $7100
Finally healthy and back to his usual production, Rashad Jennings enjoys a rarefied workload. He had 27 touches in last week's bout against Dallas, turning that opportunity into 16 fantasy points. Acting as Eli's check-down security blanket and goal-line back (excluding one inexcusable series where the Giants force-fed Andre Williams), Jennings offers a high floor and high upside for a cheaper price. I would much rather trot out Jennings at $7100 than players like Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill (hamstrung by a committee), an ailing Andre Ellington, or, for only $100 cheaper, LeGarrette Blount.
WR - Josh Gordon, $8100
Admittedly not the cheapest option, but I feel like we have one more week of undervaluing Gordon before everyone remembers the ungodly beasting of 2013. In his first game back, Gordon saw an unreal 16 targets from Brian Hoyer, many of which were lame-duck prayers hoping for a savior. Given his natural ability and sheer volume of touches, Gordon should be trotted out as a pricey WR2 or a cheaper WR1, with this week's salary under the likes of Mike Evans, T.Y. Hilton, or the duo of Packers studs facing an elite New England secondary.
DEF - Miami, $4900
The easiest, most promising pick of the week. For anyone blessed with missing the Jets on offense this year, I can summarize the fun by linking you to any Breaking Madden article. They are the CPU on Amateur with all the sliders out of wack, a decent run game that refuses to run and a passing game that refuses to employ any of their weapons. With Geno Smith returning this week-his last start, mind you, ended in the first quarter after going 2/8 for 5 yards and three interceptions-I'd recommend any defense playing him. However, the Dolphins have a legitimately solid defense! They are a decent play regardless of matchup, and they now have arguably the worst offense in the league during a primetime matchup. At $600 cheaper than the top DEF this week, start Miami with confidence and enjoy the turnover buffet.
With these four picks, you're afforded a ton of flexibility for the reminder of your lineup. Enjoy the games, and, please, join me on Monday for the annual New York Jets primetime bloodbath.
