Wide Receiver: Michael Pittman Jr. $5,700

Usually, this wide receiver is still one of the better players on the list, but with Dalvin Cook in this lineup, the money has to come from somewhere. There are some interesting options for wide receivers deep in the depths of the price point. Michael Pittman is extremely cost effective this week.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for him to be this low. He scored his first-ever touchdown last week after he had his first-ever 100-yard performance the week before. Pittman has been growing as a receiving option for Philip Rivers. He’s still a rookie, so there is an inherent risk, but once you get under $6,000, the risk jumps a level or two.

Tennessee and Indianapolis are coming into this matchup with the entire AFC South on the line. There should be a lot of passes in this game, and Pittman has been getting the looks. He has a total of 18 targets in the past three games. It’s clear that Pittman is now a big part of this offense. T.Y. Hilton is not the player he once was after a career filled with injuries, but Pittman can pick up that slack.

There are some really intriguing options if you don’t like Pittman. Sammy Watkins is coming back from injury and he’s expected to be ready for the Bucs. Emmanuel Sanders could be looking at more targets now that Taysom Hill is getting used to being under center. Still, Pittman has the highest ceiling, and this is what matters here.

Other Options: Watkins $5,600, Sanders $5,600
