7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 17
With Phillip Lindsay out, Royce Freeman stands to see a big role against the Chargers. Which other low-cost plays could pop in Week 17?

Jordy Nelson, WR, Oakland Raiders

Price: $5,200

Noticing a trend yet? The big passing volume that Oakland should put up as sizable underdogs should mean big things for Jordy Nelson as well.

Nelson hasn't seen fewer than seven targets in a game since Week 12, and over the last four weeks he's averaging 9.0 targets, 7.3 receptions and 77.0 yards per game. That's 11.4 FanDuel points per game despite not scoring any touchdowns.

Those last four weeks have seen him account for 26% of the targets in the Raiders' offense, which ranks top-10 among the league's wideouts. A pass-heavy matchup against a team that Nelson burned for 10 receptions and 97 yards the last time they met gives him a great floor again, while his ceiling (if he manages to find the end zone) is also very strong, making him a great play in all formats.
