Welcome back to the Cheap WR Volume column — your one-stop shop for all of our favorite discounted wideouts. Realistically, this list can be used for cash games or tournaments as we can be looser with the WR spots in our lineups, showing profit with lower-owned plays (vs. RBs) and cheaper salaries (vs. RBs). I’ll try to be sure to contextualize the plays we expect to be popular both as cash-game “locks” and tournament options, as well as hit on some deeper cuts.
There are many paths to increased volume for cheap WRs throughout the season, especially early on. Volume is what we’re looking for — even at the cheap end. The surest path to fantasy points is simply opportunity, and this article will explore projected opportunities for these cheap wide receivers.
Each week, I’ll discuss my favorite main-slate wideouts at $5,000 or cheaper on DraftKings and $6,000 or cheaper on FanDuel who we project for five-plus targets. This is not a full look at all cheap WR options; just the ones we deem worth mentioning. Consult our Projections (DraftKings, FanDuel), Top Plays, and Silva’s Matchups for more context on the position.
DraftKings & FanDuel
Carnell Tate ($4,800 DK, $5,600 FD) – Tate has quietly commanded volume at a high level with a 23.9% seasonal target share, including consecutive games above 25%. Cam Ward‘s ability to get him the ball remains questionable, but the Titans will be forced to throw as usual against Baltimore.
