FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 15
Which NFL players have seen their FanDuel salary change enough for you to take advantage of in Week 15 DFS contests?

Jordan Reed, TE, Washington Redskins

FanDuel Price: $6,800
Salary Change: Down $700

After suffering a Grade 3 AC sprain on Thanksgiving, Jordan Reed miraculously returned to the game and finished with 10 receptions for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, with the adrenaline gone, Reed didn’t practice much in the following week and missed Week 13.

He practiced in some capacity every day last week and was active for the Redskins’ Week 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but only managed to play 10 snaps. Now, his salary is $700 cheaper, which is the lowest price we’ve seen for him all season.

Playing Reed at a lowered salary is incredibly tempting, especially against a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed the second-most FanDuel points to tight ends. However, it takes roughly six weeks to recover from this type of injury, so it’s unlikely we see Reed play a full complement of snaps or perform to his usual standards.

Many DFSers will chase his upside on Sunday-Monday slates, and especially on the primetime slate, but even if Reed plays in high leverage situations (third downs and in the red zone), it will be nearly impossible to pay off his salary in tournaments. He’s a complete fade despite the matchup.
