7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 15
Jordan Howard's volume has been very encouraging, making him an appealing value option despite his efficiency concerns. Which other low-cost plays could pop this weekend?

Sterling Shepard, WR, New York Giants

Price: $5,200

Sterling Shepard has seen six targets in each of his last three games. That has not turned into much fantasy production, though, as he's averaging only 6.4 FanDuel points per game in that span.

However, Odell Beckham is still not practicing, which gives Shepard a big boost in both floor and ceiling as Beckham has hogged a team-high 28% of the New York Giants' targets this year. So poor efficiency or not, we can count on Shepard seeing plenty of looks this week if OBJ sits.

Also, efficiency is highly prone to variance over the short-term, and with an average of 1.48 FanDuel points per target this season (compared to 1.07 over his last three games), we can expect a significant increase in production if Shepard continues to see a similar workload.

The Tennessee Titans are allowing top-10 fantasy production to wideouts this season, making this an especially appealing spot for Shepard.
