We can be looser with the WR spots in our lineups, showing profit with lower-owned plays (vs. RBs) and cheaper salaries (vs. RBs). You can read more about that in this Winning Milly Maker Trends article.
Still, volume is what we’re looking for – even at the cheap end.
Each week, I’ll discuss my favorite main slate wideouts at $5000 or cheaper on DraftKings and $5500 or cheaper on FanDuel who we project for 5+ targets.
Note that this is not a full look at all cheap WR options. Be sure to consult our Projections, Top Plays (released Friday night) and Silva’s Matchups for more context on the position as a whole.
DRAFTKINGS BELOW $5000
1. Emmanuel Sanders, BUF at MIA, $4000 DK, $5100 FD
Sanders’ Week 1 role was nothing short of outstanding. He was in on 79-of-85 snaps, ran a route on all of Josh Allen’s dropbacks, and was in the slot 23 times. Buffalo will almost certainly be among the league leaders in pass rate over expectation, meaning even a 15% target share is voluminous. Sanders, Cole Beasley (7.2 projected targets at $4600) and Stef Diggs are all fine candidates for Allen double stacks.
Projected targets: 6.1
