Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys

DraftKings Price: $4,200

Yes, his price is slightly higher than my usual threshold for tight ends, but value is in the eye of the beholder.

Jason Witten, the ageless wonder who has played in every Dallas Cowboys game since 2004, has been one of Dak Prescott's favorite weapons all season. The DraftKings TE5 in points per game, Witten has scored at least 13.1 points in four out of six games this year.

This week he gets a divisional matchup against a Washington Redskins defense that has shown no resistance to the tight end position. Washington has given up at least 93 yards or a touchdown to opposing tight ends in five of six games. In their "best" game against the position, they still allowed rookie George Kittle to post a 4/46 line.

The Dallas has an implied total of 26.5 in a game that has the look of a shootout. Expect Dak to look Witten's way repeatedly as the teams try to match scores.
