NFL FanDuel Pricing Reaction: 8 Underpriced Players for Week 1
FanDuel's prices for Week 1 are out. A month away from the start of the season, which players appear to be the best value plays?

Amari Cooper, WR, Oakland Raiders

FanDuel Price: $7,100

Amari Cooper's ADP currently sits at 22nd overall as the 13th wide receiver off the board, yet he is priced as just the 18th-most expensive wideout in Week 1. That may be because he closed 2015 on a cold note, but the Raiders have said Cooper was playing through a foot injury that was bad enough for them to consider shutting him down. Through Week 15, Cooper's per-game averages had him on pace for 1,202 yards and 7 touchdowns.

All the news out of Oakland surrounding Cooper has been positive this offseason, including continued talk of the growing chemistry between Cooper and quarterback Derek Carr.

Oakland draws a matchup against the New Orleans Saints, which Vegas predicts for an over/under of 50 points, including giving the Raiders an implied total of 24.5 points. With Cooper and Carr ($7,700) both priced conservatively, they'll likely be one of the most popular quarterback-wide receiver stacks while facing the worst pass defense from 2015.
