3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 4
Jameis Winston has an ugly matchup this week. Who else should you avoid on FanDuel?

Terrelle Pryor, WR, Cleveland Browns

FanDuel Price: $7,000

After last week's 27.9-FanDuel-point outburst from Terrelle Pryor, he's sure to be a popular DFS play this week. But he has seen a massive increase in cost.

His salary has increased $1,200 in one week, and he's now priced as the 20th-most expensive wide receiver on FanDuel at $7,000. He cost only $4,900 at Philadelphia in Week 1. Despite being priced as the WR20 this week, our projections have 32 other wide receivers scoring more points than Pryor (11 of whom have lower salaries), leaving him with a middling 1.39 FanDuel value.

Pryor's 19.53 Reception NEP ranks 22nd among the 60 wide receivers with at least 10 catches so far this season. His 0.63 Reception NEP per target, however, has been much less efficient, ranking 40th among that same group of receivers.

The Browns will lean heavily upon Pryor this week, and he'll probably line up as a quarterback in certain situations, giving him the opportunity to score points in multiple ways.

That said, the Cleveland Browns come into Washington implied by Vegas to score fewer than 20 points, which is one of the six lowest implied points totals of the week. They are quarterbacked by a rookie making just his second NFL start, and Pryor will likely be the one player that the Washington Redskins are scheming to stop.

There's sure to be some explosive weeks ahead from Pryor, but this is a week where you can likely spend $7,000 more frugally.
