Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 13 on DraftKings

Are you running out of cap room on DraftKings? Want to get the most bang for your buck when you're squeezing those final players into your lineup? We've got you covered.

Rollin and Adam, from The Low Blow Sports Show, have compiled their best values for Week 13 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com.

For a more comprehensive take on this week’s matchups, beyond DraftKings, check out our Fantasy Forecast podcast, featuring Rollin and Allen.

QB

ROLLIN: Phillip Rivers ($6,000)
Lucky you! Since injuring his chest, Rivers simply hasn't been the same. However, he has been on a gradual uptick the last few weeks, and his price tag has yet to show it. He's down $2,300 since his 1.82-point performance against Miami in Week 9.

This week, he's playing a Baltimore defense that ranks 29th against the pass and just allowed Drew Brees his best fantasy performance of the season. With Phil coming around and Keenan Allen finally providing a spark to the offense, I see this as a big payoff.

Also, for a super bargain sleeper—if you're trying to stack high-end backs and receivers—don't overlook the Redskins' new starter, Colt McCoy. In his only start this season, he completed 83 percent of his passes for 299 yards and added a clutch touchdown on the ground.

Don't expect a firestorm, but he could very well hit the 20-point mark against an Indy defense that ranks 20th against the pass.


ADAM: Ryan Tannehill  ($6,900) 
Going against a very suspect defense that is allowing 238 yards a game in the air, and is the 30th-ranked defense against quarterbacks, I really like this match-up. While I don't expect him to have the three-touchdown game he had last week, I feel very comfortable in saying he should get you at least 20 points at your quarterback position this week.

RB

ROLLIN: Tre Mason ($4,600)
Despite receiving a lion's share of the totes in St. Louis, Tre Mason is staying cheap due to a lack of scoring by the Rams. However, he has faced a bevvy of stingy defenses since becoming the lead tailback. This week, he'll be up against the Oakland Raiders, who are giving up 127 yards per game on the ground and rank 26th against backs on DraftKings.

Mason should get a lot of carries on Sunday and will likely get a handful of targets to boot. The St. Louis defense has also been playing lights out, which is the complete opposite of Oakland's offense. This game could produce a lot of short-field opportunities for the rookie.


ADAM: Darren Sproles ($4,500)
This week versus Dallas ,I think the Birds are going to utilize the crap out of No. 43. He will get rushing attempts, he will get receiving targets. He may be in the same backfield at the same time as Shady McCoy.

I think the Eagles are going to run a very fast paced dink-and-dunk offense this week to:
1. Try to tire out the Dallas defense.
2. Keep the ball out of Romo's hands. Lots of runs and under-routes.

WR

ROLLIN: Keenan Allen ($6,000)
Keenan Allen has finally found consistency again this season, despite Rivers' health issues. Last week against St. Louis, Allen had six catches on eight targets for 107 yards and a touch. This week, he and Phil will be looking to dice up the hobbling Ravens defense.

I like the odds here. But it could be a risky stack with Rivers, so proceed with caution.


ADAM: Jarvis Landry ($5,400)
This here is my value stack of the week. Lately, landry has been Tannehill's favorite target. These two have connected 34 times for 194 yards and four touchdowns the last four games. You know how I feel about the Jets D, and I see Miami making a statement game here.

TE

ROLLIN: Delanie Walker ($4,800)
Allen nailed it last week, as Walker put up a 23.5-point gem against Philly. Zach Mettenberger is clearly a fan, and should continue to send passes his way against a Texans defense that ranks 31st in passing yards given up.

Houston does hold its own against tight ends, giving up the 5th-fewest points to the position on DraftKings. But I have a feeling he will get his.

Also consider Coby Fleener for a bounce-back week against the porous Washington defense in Indianapolis. He'll save you $100 over Walker, too.


ADAM: Niles Paul ($3,200)
This is one where you need to keep your eye on the injury report. If Jordan Reed is a no-go I feel as though Paul is a must-play.

If you listen to our show, you know how much I love pairing tight ends with new quaterbacks. With Colt Mcoy getting the start this week against an Indy team that is ranked 27th in points given up to tight ends, I feel as though this is a value match-up that cannot be overlooked.

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 12 on DraftKings

Are you running out of cap room on DraftKings? Want to get the most bang for your buck when you're squeezing those final players into your lineup? We've got you covered.

Rollin and Adam, from The Low Blow Sports Show, have compiled their best values for Week 12 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com.

For a more comprehensive take on this week’s matchups, beyond DraftKings, check out our Fantasy Forecast podcast, featuring Rollin and Adam.

QB

ROLLIN: Josh McCown ($6,600)
Chicago is currently giving up the second-most passing touchdowns in the league. And though McCown won't be lighting up the fantasy scoreboard anytime soon, he has a target named Mike Evans who is. That means McCown should be good for a score in the low 20s.

Did I mention Chicago is his former team? We know how players like to prove something.

*It should be noted that I regularly bomb on my quarterback picks for whatever reason. Use this pick with caution. The football gods my be out for my ass. Don't think I won't say "I told you so" if he lights it up, though.


ADAM: Phillip Rivers ($6,600) 
Although he is a little banged up, let's remember this guy was in the driver's seat for NFL MVP just a few weeks back. The St. Louis defense has been getting it going as of late. Look what they did to Manning last week.

That being said, St. Louis is giving up an average of 20.17 points to opposing quarterbacks this season. With San Diego returning home, I feel confident going with him at this price.

RB

ROLLIN: Denard Robinson ($5,600)
First-time starter Jonas Gray diced up the Indy defense for almost 200 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday night. The way Robinson has been running and catching the ball since earning his starting role, he's pretty much a guarantee for 20-plus against the Colts.


ADAM: Denard Robinson ($5,600) 
Hey, there is one thing going for Jacksonville, and it's this guy. He is averging 5.4 yards a carry—even with his sub-par offensive line. And he is facing the Colts, who give up an average of 28.64 points to running backs.

WR

ROLLIN: Anquan Boldin ($5,200)
There aren't really any stats to indicate Anquan Boldin will tear up the Redskins this week. This is more of a gut feeling you can take a chance on. With his physicality and knack for snatching up anything tossed his way, I think he is the most likely 49er to rock my 'Skins in Week 12.

Someone does pretty much every week. Why not this savvy vet?


ADAM: Mohamed Sanu ($5,000)
Yes, it is back to second fiddle for Sanu since AJ is back. But nobody gives up more points (46.25) to wide receivers than the Texans. Since a lot of the focus will be on AJ, I think Sanu is going to have a big bounce-back week.

TE

ROLLIN: Coby Fleener ($5,200)
We saw what happens when  Dwayne Allen exits the game...an all-you-can-eat buffet of Coby Fleener. Keep an eye on Allen's status, though. At $3,800, he'd be a hell of a steal if healthy enough for full reps.


ADAM: Larry Donnell ($3,900)
Ok, I have recommended him in the past, and it has not panned out, But this week I have a feeling about Larry.

Maybe it's because he caught the lone touchdown last week in the Giants' game. Maybe it is because he has had 20 targets over the past three weeks. But I think the real reason is Dallas gives up the second-most fantasy points in the league to tight ends at 17.52 per game.

The Low Blow Sports Show: November 16

Full Show:

What a show today! We return on fire, with an in-depth breakdown of the NFL's Week 11 games and fantasy tips you can apply to DraftKings...leading to an argument about Mark Sanchez (aka The Anti-Sanchize). Allen appeared to be in a bit of a mood, so Rollin and Adam felt compelled to poke the bear for a majority of the show.

More arguments. More laughter.

We also recap an eventful week of college football, comically run through storylines we missed over the last two week, which also involved rants from Rollin and Adam about Florida Governor Rick Scott and medical marijuana.

What can we say? We like going on tangents.

Don't miss out on one of our most energetic, entertaining shows of the year.

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 11 on DraftKings

Are you running out of cap room on DraftKings? Want to get the most bang for your buck when you're squeezing those final players into your lineup? We've got you covered.

The fellas from The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 11 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com.

QB

ROLLIN: Robert Griffin III ($6,300)
This may look like the homer pick of the month from me, but it's really only due to a lack of options. I was tempted to go with Mark Sanchez like my dear friend Adam Cavallini, but I'm afraid Green Bay's defense may give Butt Fumble some problems.

Matty Ice is enticing against a struggling Carolina team, but he hasn't broken the 20-point threshold since Week 4. That includes last week against Tampa Bay. Ryan Mallet is tempting in his first start against Cleveland, but the Browns have held quarterbacks down for the most part and Arian Foster is list as "Out."

So ummm...yeah...RGIII wins by the deduction method. Plus, he's getting two full, healthy weeks of practice and is facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are ranked next to last against the pass.


ADAM: Mark Sanchez ($5,800) 
This is one of those examples of taking advantage of DraftKings' pricing. DraftKings puts out their prices before the Monday Night Game, so the price has not been adjusted to account for Mark's stellar debut in Philly.

No Butt Fumble here. Grab him while you can get him for cheap.

RB

ROLLIN: Alfred Morris ($5,400)
Quit hating. The guy scored 24.9 points against Minnesota in Week 9. He seemed to get his confidence back against Dallas in Week 8, and the addition of RGIII as a run threat has opened up clear lanes for Morris to plow through like the days of old.

Again, these guys are going up against Tampa Bay. The Redskins will probably find a way to lose, but not before this duo racks up some fantasy points on thrift store pricing.


ADAM: Mark Ingram ($6,200)
Sure, his price has gone up $300 from last week,but it is also his third week in a row that he has gone over the century mark. Week 11 sees Cincy coming to town.

The Bengals give up an average of 143 yards a game on the ground, and they are the second-worst team in the league when it comes to giving up rushing touchdowns.

WR

ROLLIN: Jordan Matthews ($4,500)
I have to agree with Cav here. Matthews has stayed in double digits the last three weeks, and put up a monster game last week against Carolina with 35.8 points.

It is indeed a small sample size we're working with, when it comes to the Sanchez-Matthews connection. But it has been noted that the two have been practicing together regularly on the second-team offense.

I was big on Matthews coming out of Vanderbilt, and I believe he will continue to shine. Is he a near-guarantee like Maclin? No. But with a $4,500 price tag, I'm all in.


ADAM: Jordan Matthews ($4,500)
Much like my quarterback pick, this is one to take advantage of the pricing strategy. Although it may only have been from a sample size of seven quarters, it seems Jordan is Sanchez's favorite target.

So to get a wide receiver capable of a 10-plus catch game, with multiple touchdowns, for less than $5,000 is a must play.

TE

ROLLIN: Travis Kelce ($4,000)
It's been an up-and-down season for the Chiefs early fantasy sensation, Travis Kelce. But I think he'll be on an uptick this week, going against a Seattle defense that ranks 25th against tight ends this season.

Anthony Fasano is also listed as questionable with a sore knee, so keep an eye on that. Without Fasano in the lineup, Kelce could see an increased workload.


ADAM: Dwayne Allen ($4,500)
Although he seems to split targets with Coby Fleener, Allen is the bigger and better of the two tight ends Indy has. I expect him to get a lot of red zone looks this week when the Pats come to town.

Currently, they are 22nd in giving up points to tight ends. Vegas already has this game as a 57-point over-under with the Colts favored by three.

There will be a lot of touchdowns scored in this game.

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 10 on DraftKings

Are you running out of cap room on DraftKings? Want to get the most bang for your buck when you're squeezing those final players into your lineup? We've got you covered.

The fellas from The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 10 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com.

For a more comprehensive take on this week’s matchups, beyond DraftKings, check out our Fantasy Forecast podcast, featuring Allen and Adam.

QB

ROLLIN: Ben Roethlisberger ($7,500)
Big Ben must be back to bangin' broads in the bar bathroom. He is lighting it up like the Super Bowl days.

I didn't believe he would ever be able to repeat his six-touchdown performance from a couple weeks ago. But he did it again just last week. Now he's going up against a Jets team that can't seem to keep opposing offenses off the field.

I like Adam's choice of Matt Ryan for that bargain price. But, if you can afford him, Big Ben looks prepared for another historic day.

ADAM: Matt Ryan ($6300) 
Oh Matty Ice Let me count the ways of why I love you so much this week.

1. You're Coming off a bye.
2. You're Playing the Bucs in Tampa. For some reason this year, when you play the Bucs at home this year, it is basically another home game for the visiting team.
3.The Bucs give up almost 300 yards a game in the air, and they are the 27th-ranked defense versus quarterbacks this year.

RB

ROLLIN: Denard Robinson ($5,100)
Since becoming the full-time starter with Jacksonville just three weeks ago, Robinson has racked up 329 yards on the ground, two touchdowns and is starting to get some catches out of the backfield. All that against some pretty decent defenses.

Now, he faces the "November Cowboys," and we know what that means, You can count on 15+ points from the former Michigan quarterback.

ADAM: LeSean McCoy ($5,600) 
New quarterback: check.
Starting center back: check.
Going against the worst rush defense in football: check.
Still under $6,000: check.

If Shady isn't on your roster this week rethink your life.

WR

ROLLIN: Odell Beckham, Jr. ($4,800)
I really like this guy, and for some reason he continues to stay cheap. Since his debut four weeks ago, Beckham has scored three touchdowns and had a breakout 156-yard performance last week against Indy.

The Giants may be facing the Seahawks in Seattle, but the Legion of Boom isn't striking fear in opponents the way it used to. I like Beckham to keep it going.

ADAM: Kelvin Benjamin ($4,200)
Sure, he has dropped two touchdown passes the past two weeks. But for $4,200, you should really take a flyer on this rookie. He is going against a Eagles defense that is ranked 28th against wide receivers this year.

TE

ROLLIN: Julius Thomas ($4,900)
Are you serious? Julius Thomas is under $5k? OK, folks. I know it's tempting to stay away from JT because he's had a few bad weeks. But he did just score again last week, and he's not a guy teams will easily keep out of the end zone.

The giant is still one of Manning's favorite targets, and he's going to continue to get his opportunities. Especially against rival, and NFL pinata, the Oakland Raiders.

Do it.

ADAM: Mychal Rivera ($3,800)_
There isn't much going on in Oakland this year, but a silver lining may be the play of their tight end. Coming off a two touchdown week. Rivera goes against a Broncos defense that is ranked 26th against tight ends. This should be a solid value play.
