Keelan Cole, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

Price: $4,500

We go even cheaper here, to the stone-minimum for Keelan Cole.

Cole is priced like a backup who isn't going to play any snaps this week. He's on that John Diarse tier of pricing, where you're usually getting a mix of buried backups and players you've never heard of. In short: Cole is comically cheap.

Cole will be starting across from Donte Moncrief on the outside (with Dede Westbrook in the slot), and his volume is not going to look anything like the players priced near him.

He saw huge volume in the second half of the 2017 season, averaging 7.1 targets per game over those eight contests. He saw at least 6 targets in six of those games, and even with Blake Bortles throwing him the rock, Cole averaged 11.7 fantasy points per game.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' offense doesn't project to be a high-scoring, pass-happy unit, but with that kind of volume at minimum salary, it frankly doesn't matter. Cole is an elite value option for Week 1.
