7 NFL FanDuel Bargains for Week 1
Kevin White saw a ton of volume when he was healthy in 2016 and is in a good spot to repeat that this year. Which other bargain-bin NFL players should you target in daily fantasy football for Week 1?

Kevin White, WR, Chicago Bears

Price: $5,600

With Cameron Meredith done for the year and Victor Cruz cut, the Chicago Bears are incredibly thin at wide receiver, leaving tons of volume to go around between Kendall Wright, Markus Wheaton and Kevin White.

The injury-plagued White has only played four games in his first two NFL seasons -- the first four games of the 2016 season -- but when he was on the field, the Bears were insistent on getting him the ball.

He averaged nine targets per game in that stretch, not seeing fewer than six in any game. He accounted for a 25% share of the Bears' targets when he played and a 36% share of the team's air yards -- both top-10 marks among wide receivers in 2016.

The Bears don't promise to be a particularly efficient or high-scoring offense, and we don't have big sample size on White, but with a price tag like this, it becomes really hard to ignore those elite volume numbers.
