FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 8
There are stud options with significant salary decreases this week, but should they be in your lineups?

Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $6,600
Salary Change: Up $1,500

Davante Adams’ salary is up a whopping $1,500 after his Week 7 performance against the Chicago Bears. Can you find the outlier in his 2016 game logs?

Adams could have turned the corner in Week 7, sure, but the odds are that his huge game was a result of facing a practice squad cornerback for a majority of the game. Adams’ ownership will be inflated this week on FanDuel, but players in this spot have historically underperformed expectations. In the past three seasons, wide receivers with a $1,500-plus salary increase playing in a game with a Vegas total of 50 or higher have reached cash game value (two times their salary in points) just 15 percent of the time.

Let others chase last week’s production.
