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?

Thomas Rawls, RB, Seattle Seahawks

Price: $5,700

Another case of Week 1 pricing not capturing the reality of team depth charts, Thomas Rawls is available with a bargain this week despite being the top back on the Seattle Seahawks depth chart.

It's not ideal to target a back who doesn't do much work in the passing game when his team is an underdog (the Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites in this one), but like Hill, Rawls is more than cheap enough to overcome a concern like that.

Opportunity is king at running back, and Rawls saw at least 12 carries in 6 of his 9 regular season games last season, while also racking up 38 carries over two playoff games. He has averaged double-digit carries per game over his two years in Seattle despite only being a starter in 14 of his 22 games. You can expect him to see plenty of work in this one, as long as he's healthy enough to suit up.
