2. Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat

With only 17 games of at least 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000, Tyler Johnson would actually rank outside of the top five based on quantity, but due to the fact he has missed eight games this season to injury, the third-year guard has the second-highest percentage of tournament value performances.

He has scored 30 or more FanDuel points 16 times this season, a high mark for someone whose daily price tag has never been greater than $6,400.

Johnson also lays claim to being the only player to make it onto both the cash game top five and tournament top five. His ability to fill up multiple categories leaves him as one of the safest tournament targets out there. He is averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Johnson has played a touch more than 30 minutes a night despite coming off the bench all season. While he splits his time between the point and the two spot, Johnson qualifies only as a point guard for FanDuel purposes.
