FanDuel NFL deals of the week from week 15
There are several players, like Kenyan Drake, whose value at a low cost put their FanDuel owners in a position to win on Sunday. The players on this list put up better stats than their pricetag would indicate to make up week 15’s deals of the week.
The most exciting and frustrating part of both season-long and daily fantasy football is the unpredictability of each week. While there are trends and statistics to guide owners and analysts towards decisions, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to predict what will happen each week.
In today’s NFL, there is an abundance of talent, skill, and athleticism that allows for breakout games and breakout players to come out of nowhere every single week.
In addition to the vast talent contained on each roster, the sheer brutatity and violence of the game of football creates several opportunities for lesser-known players down the depth chart to prove that they belong in the NFL following inevitable injuries to starters on both sides of the ball.
These two realities of football, as well as offensive coaching schemes that highlight certain types of players or defensive coaching schemes that remove the impact of certain offensive players or positions, create the inconsistencies that haunt or delight DFS players on a weekly basis.
Now that we’ve talked about the reasons behind these inconsistent breakouts, let’s get into the deals of the week from week 15.
For the purposes of this article, we’ll only consider players with salaries outside of the top 15 for QBs, RBs, and TEs and outside of the top 30 for WRs in the deals section.
