High-Cost Option: Julio Jones $9,200
A quarter of the way into the season we've already seen just how great ProFootballFocus. Against a much more confident passing attack led by Matt Ryan and anchored by Julio Jones, look for Hankerson to not only have a good matchup against a rookie converted safety, but to also have a big game against his former team in Washington.
That's right, not only are we hitting bargain avenue only paying $4,000 for Hankerson, we're also speeding down narrative street as well.
It's #HankTime.
GPP Wildcard: Willie Snead $3,000
There's many ways to construct daily fantasy rosters. I like to begin by scanning the entire list of players looking for any potential values or underpriced players, and a name screaming out both to me is New Orleans' Willie Snead. His snap counts have risen each week and has already replaced Brandon Coleman as the "next big passing option" to target after this offseason's roster moves.
If the Saints want to become a run-first team, they have yet to show it on the field. They're currently passing the ball on 64.6% of their plays and Snead is paving the way as New Orleans' leading receiver in yardage. He's only seeing 13.3% of the team's targets, but he's outproducing everyone else on the roster and fighting for more playing time. Last week Snead caught all 6 of his targets for 89 yards.
While he's not seeing a ton of volume, Snead's big play ability is what makes him an intriguing option this week at only $3,000. He faces a Philadelphia pass defense that gives up the fourth-most points to opposing wide receivers. Byron Maxwell has had a rough start to his career as an Eagle, and Snead could continue to exploit his weaknesses against a bottom-10 pass defense that faces the fifth-most passing attempts against them.
