7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 9
Courtland Sutton offers huge value with Demaryius Thomas gone from Denver. Which other cheap players could go off?

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Price: $7,100

Ryan Fitzpatrick has reclaimed the starting quarterback role in Tampa, and despite an unexciting matchup against the Carolina Panthers, that creates some big fantasy value.

This Bucs offense has been absolute gold for fantasy production at the quarterback position. Fitzpatrick finished as QB1, QB6 and QB4 in his first three starts, before getting benched in his fourth. Jameis Winston finished as QB1 and QB6 in his first two starts, before being benched in his third. If we combine the two passers' numbers in the games in which they got benched for their combined scores, Week 4 they would have ranked as only QB24, but in Week 8 they combined to post QB1 numbers.

That's only one week that the Tampa passers have not posted top-six fantasy numbers.

The Panthers aren't an especially scary matchup, ranking only 18th in numberFire's Adjusted Defensive Passing our models have Fitzpatrick as the second-best point-per-dollar value among passers priced below $8,000 this week.
