DFS Salary Savers

I will explore high performance opportunities from value priced players at low ownership by position. These are salary savers that I do not recommend using more than 1 in a lineup.

Quarterbacks
DK – Sam Darnold $5200 and throwing to one of the games premier players in Justin Jefferson who averaged 100 yards and 10 targets per game to end the season with career backup QBs. I expect a big game from JJ and you could do worse than a guy I have projected at only 10% less points than C.J. Stroud but at 33% less salary. 

FD – I think I’ll slightly pay up to Jayden Daniels on FD at $7000. I have him as the fifth highest scoring QB at one of the lowest prices and FD lineups seem to be skipping him according to ownership projections.

Running Backs
DK – Rico Dowdle $4600 is the cheapest starter on the board and is up against a pretty solid defence so perhaps that is why projected ownership is so down on him. But I am more than willing to save that salary on the chance for the volume I think we get from him. I am staying away from running back committees for week 1 until we see some of them in action like LAC and Denver. 

FD – Chuba Hubbard $5600 is the most value for the opportunity to hit 15 points on the week in my books. 

Wide Receivers
DK- Ja’Lynn Polk $3900 has a shot to develop into New England’s #1 threat through the air and I have read positive things about his connections with his new quarterback. He is slated to be a top 2 receiver and no one else in that price range is more than a 3/4 at best. I might be the only one playing him according to ownership projections. 

FD- Demario Douglas $4000 copy the sentiment above from the same team but on Fanduel Douglas is way under priced and below Polk.

Tight Ends
DK – J. Sander or Theo Johnson both at bare bottom $2500 and the top option on their teams. Neither are super sexy but to drop all the way to that price is an excellent punt position. 

FD – Zach Ertz stands out as the value of the week at $4800. Strike while he is healthy.
