FanDuel Salary: $6,600
Volume is typically king in fantasy football, but Tyreek Hill has bucked that trend. Despite ending the regular season ranked outside the top-40 wideouts in targets, receptions and receiving yards, Hill has been a tournament stud in DFS thanks to his big-play ability.
He's averaged 16.73 FanDuel points per game over his last six outings, but he's done so without being a big part of the Kansas City Chiefs' attack in terms of touches.
Opponent | Touches | FanDuel Points |
---|---|---|
Chargers | 8 | 14.6 |
Broncos | 6 | 15.5 |
Titans | 1 | 12.8 |
Raiders | 7 | 19.8 |
Falcons | 7 | 9.7 |
Broncos | 10 | 28 |
Hill has seen 10 touches just once during his six-game tear, including a one-touch game against the Tennessee Titans, although he took that one touch 68 yards for a touchdown. Hill has been mixing in more in the backfield, getting nine total carries over his past two contests, but the overall lack of volume means he has to hit for a big play to have a respectable fantasy day.
The Pittsburgh Steelers present a difficult matchup as they allowed the fifth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing wideouts in 2016. Weather, specifically rain, might be an issue, and the Chiefs have a pedestrian implied total of 23.25 points.
Hill has some appeal as a tourney play because of his game-breaking talent, but his volume makes him very hard to stomach in cash games.
