NFL DFS Value Picks: Best Cheap DraftKings Plays for Sunday in Week 10

QB Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers, $5,600

This game feels like it has sneaky shootout potential, right? Carolina is surrendering 32.0 points per game across the past three weeks, and that makes sense given that the team’s defense remains quite ravaged by injury. There’s a reason the front office just fired the squad’s defense coordinator. Now, the Panthers will have to stop a Saints’ passing attack, on the fast track in New Orleans, that is finally at full-strength. First-round pick Jordyn Tyson ($5,000) finally made his NFL debut in Week 9, adding to a dangerous Saints receiving corps with Chris Olave ($7,000) and Devaughn Vele ($4,900). It’s an embarrassment of weapons for Shough, who comes into Sunday’s action leading all quarterbacks in drop backs per game (43.0). Matchup? Check. Talented pass catchers? Check. Volume? Check. What’s not to like here?

RB Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks at Las Vegas Raiders, $5,600

As recently as two weeks ago, we all really had no idea what to expect from this RB committee in Seattle. However, it’s quickly become clear that Zach Charbonnet is healthy and that he’s the lead dog in this backfield. In Week 9’s win over the Cardinals, Charbonnet logged 56.7% of the offensive snaps and finished with 86 scrimmage yards on 17 touches. Jadarian Price ($5,100) is still obviously going to play a role alongside Charbonnet, but this is a coaching staff that has shown time and time again how much it adores the former second-round pick. Remember, this is the same guy who was getting a majority of the red zone opportunities over eventual Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker last season. Expect Charbonnet to find the end zone in this matchup with the Raiders, who are surrendering the most opponent rushing yards per contest (151.2) and the fifth-most FPTS per game to opposing running backs.

WR Caleb Douglas, Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts, $4,400

We can’t start talking about any element of the Dolphins’ passing attack without acknowledging Kyle McCord ($4,000) will be making his first-career start on Sunday. However, it’s not like Malik Willis (abdomen) had been setting the world on fire in Miami’s first eight games of the season, with just six touchdowns thrown and a 16th percentile passing success rate (38.8%). Even in a worst case scenario, there isn’t a lot of room for the Dolphins’ aerial attack to get seismically less impressive. Heck, all this context makes what Caleb Douglas has been able to do in his rookie campaign even more commendable. Entering Week 10, Douglas is WR14 in DraftKings scoring going back across the past three games (42.3). For the season as a whole, the lanky and lithe wideout is also averaging 11.4 yards per target, which is the fourth-best mark among wide receivers with at least 25 targets, trailing only Christian Watson, Tee Higgins and Jahan Dotson. If not for a mid-season injury, I can assure you, Douglas’ acclaim and price tag would be much higher. Take advantage of the savings in a decent matchup.
