7 NFL FanDuel Bargains for Week 1
Dak Prescott dazzled in the preseason, and he's going to be a popular play at a minimum salary. What other low-cost players are in a good spot?

Donte Moncrief, WR, Indianapolis Colts

FanDuel Price: $6,200

We just outlined the DFS potential for this game, a likely shootout with a 51.5 over/under between two teams with weak pass defenses. Donte Moncrief a budget-friendly way to get exposure to the Colts' side of things.

The Lions ranked 26th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per drop back last season, and with no noteworthy additions on that side of the ball, it's probably safe to expect them to struggle again.

Even with Andrew Luck sidelined for over half the season in 2015, Moncrief turned in an efficient year with a 0.79 Reception NEP per target, which ranked 26th among the 86 receivers to see at least 50 targets.

His splits with and without Luck were drastic. He saw a bump of 2.04 targets, 1.01 receptions, 7.7 yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game when Luck played.

Moncrief is a highly efficient receiver that should see no shortage of volume in a great matchup. He has tremendous upside, especially when you consider his price tag.
