ETR’s Cheap WR Volume: Week 11

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 under $5,000 on DraftKings and $6,000 or cheaper on FanDuel who we project for 5+ targets. Please note that this is not a full look at all cheap WR options; just the ones we deem worth mentioning. Be sure to consult our Projections (DraftKings, FanDuel), Top Plays, and Silva’s Matchups for more context on the position as a whole.

DraftKings & FanDuel

Elijah Moore ($4,300 DK, $5,500 FD) – Moore has two consecutive games with at least a 20% target share since Jameis Winston was inserted into the lineup, including a 12-target, eight-catch, 85-yard outing in Week 8. Against a Saints defense that has struggled mightily over the past month, Moore is in line for plenty of volume again. It’s anyone’s guess which Cleveland WR will lead the charge in a given week, but we’ve seen Moore lead this WR room in targets already with Jameis, and it could happen again.
