DraftKings and FanDuel NFL DFS Value Plays For Week 10

Ashton Jeanty - LV RB ($5,400 DraftKings, $6,100 FanDuel)

This week's value plays start with Ashton Jeanty. It's been a rough season for the second-year running back, with 114 carries for 362 yards and 1 touchdown through nine games, but his role in the passing game gives him a floor that is hard to find at this price. He has 42 catches on 56 targets for 371 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he leads all running backs in targets per game at 6.1. Last week against the 49ers, he had 6 carries for 25 yards and 5 catches for -5 yards, but he played 64% of the snaps, up from a career low of 40% in Week 8.

Kirk Cousins was traded to the Vikings, so the Raiders are expected to start rookie Fernando Mendoza in his first career start, and a rookie quarterback is going to be checking the ball down a lot. Las Vegas is a home underdog, and with the Seahawks allowing just 89.1 rushing yards per game, I expect Jeanty to do his damage as a receiver. He is a great PPR value. His price has come down too far, in my opinion.

Colby Parkinson - LAR TE ($3,000 DraftKings, $4,900 FanDuel)

Next, we get a value tight end out of Los Angeles. Puka Nacua suffered a sprained MCL and PCL, as well as turf toe in Week 9, and he is expected to be out for an extended period of time. Davante Adams is also on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. That leaves the Rams' top three receivers as Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington, and Sean McVay leaned on his tight ends last week, with Tyler Higbee playing 80% of the snaps and Parkinson playing 73%. Parkinson caught all 4 of his targets for 13 yards in Week 9, which was his third straight game with at least four catches, and he had 5 catches on 6 targets for 48 yards the week before. The Rams are big road favorites against a Cardinals team that is starting rookie Carson Beck in his first career start, and Matthew Stafford is going to need to find other targets than just one wide receiver. Parkinson is super safe with a high floor.

Kyle McCord - MIA QB ($4,000 DraftKings, $6,000 FanDuel)

At the quarterback position, I like Kyle McCord as a punt option. Malik Willis was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury and will miss at least four games, so McCord is set to make his first career start against the Colts. He has not thrown a pass in the NFL yet, but in the preseason with the Packers, he completed 46/70 passes for 446 yards and 4 touchdowns. He is more of a pocket passer than Willis, which is a better fit for the way Miami wants to throw the ball to Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington. The Colts are allowing 8.1 yards per pass attempt and have given up 16 passing touchdowns with only 2 interceptions, which makes this a very favorable setting for a first-time starter ... viable cash game QB at the minimum price.

Jakobi Meyers - JAX WR ($4,200 DraftKings, $5,800 FanDuel)

To end, we have Jakobi Meyers. Meyers did not practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury, and he is someone to watch as we get closer to lock. He played through hamstring and ankle injuries last week, playing 68% of the snaps after 54% in Week 8, and he caught 4 of 6 targets for 65 yards in the 33-10 win over the Ravens. He has 26 catches on 37 targets for 374 yards and 2 touchdowns this season, and he is tied for the team lead with 7 red zone targets. Brian Thomas played just 34% of the snaps and had no targets last week, and Travis Hunter is only playing about 11% of the offensive snaps, so Meyers has a secure role in the passing game. Jacksonville is a double-digit favorite against a 1-7 Titans team, so it should be an easy game for Lawrence and the passing game, and Meyers is a very cheap way to get exposure.
