ETR’s Cheap WR Volume: Week 13

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

David Moore ($3,500 DK, $5,100 FD) – I get it, it feels bad. But with Jalen Coker set to miss another game, Moore is locked into an every-snap role on the outside for Carolina, and Bryce Young has played much better since being reinserted as the starter here. Moore has a 19% target share over his past four games, including a monstrous 29% share last week (and no game lower than 14% in the past five weeks). Against a beatable Tampa Bay defense, Moore should be in line for solid volume again.
