7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 12
Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos
Price: $5,400
A matchup with the Steelers is far from ideal. The Steelers stack up as numberFire's 5th-ranked pass defense, and they're allowing the league's 12th-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing wideouts.
Courtland Sutton is cheap enough that you can afford to look past the matchup, though.
Since Demaryius Thomas left, Sutton's 11 targets (and 6 receptions) in 2 games don't look like anything special. Those targets are only the third-most on the team, but he has also been seeing most of those targets deep down the field, allowing him to average north of 20 yards per reception in those games.
On his 11 targets he has amassed 139 air yards, good for an average depth of target (aDOT) of 12.6 yards. That's also good for a 38% market share of the Denver Broncos air yards in their last two contests.
That kind of volume may make Sutton a volatile play, without much of a floor, but it also gives him huge upside relative to this week's salary.
