Value picks offer the flexibility in lineup creation that wins money. Ito Smith is one of six players priced around $5K or less that will help you afford the bigger names and take down the top prizes.

Smith was an effective college producer, as evidenced by his 33.9-percent (75th-percentile) College Dominator Rating.  He was also an all-purpose back, seeing a 13.4-percent (87th-percentile) College Target Share.  Smith will be effective against a Buccaneers defense that has given up the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing running backs.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling combines elite speed with an above-average Catch Radius. In other words, he’s the Robby Anderson of the NFC North. Don’t think that Aaron Rodgers won’t want to take advantage of that in a likely shootout against Detroit.

Patrick Mahomes 13 passing touchdowns is the most by any quarterback through the first three weeks of the season. Will  Mahomes regress?

Andrew Luck is toast, and Julio Jones hates Calvin Ridley.

Patrick Mahomes’ unsustainable production may be sustainable.

While Allen Robinson’s ceiling is capped by Trubisky’s struggles, his volume gives him a steady floor as he continues to build confidence in his knee after a year away from football and rapport with Trubisky after missing all of training camp and preseason rehabilitating that knee. 

Corey Davis’ 30-percent Target Share ranks No. 9 among qualified wide receivers, and his Total Target Distance Share ranks among the top-15 NFL receivers. In 2017, every fantasy WR1 achieved a 20-plus-percent Target Share, and furthermore, only two receivers crested a 30-percent target share (Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins), and each scored greater than 20.0 fantasy points per game last season.
