Top 10 Bargain Players For DraftKings In Week 10

Once again, DraftKings has rolled out a player price structure that's significantly softer than the prices on FanDuel. Therefore, an abundance of players can be rostered for bargain prices and it becomes even more enticing to do so after analyzing the Week 10 matchups. Whether you're competing in cash games or trying to cash big in the Millionaire Maker tournament, the following 10 players are the best "bang for your buck" options.

10. Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos: $6100

Reports about Montee Ball finally practicing and feeling healthy shouldn't deter any DraftKings player from considering Ronnie Hillman in a favorable matchup against the Oakland Raiders. First of all, Ball is practicing in a limited fashion, so the chances of him playing this Sunday are slim to none. Additionally, Oakland is ranked 31st in overall run defense, and you simply can't beat Hillman's price especially against such a porous run defense.

Asides from his statistical disappearing act last week, Harbor has been a major part of the Jaguars' offense over the past few weeks. I fully expect Jacksonville to incorporate Harbor back into their game plan. With his price being close to minimum salary and going against a Dallas Cowboys defense that struggles mightily against opposing TEs, Harbor is the best value at the tight end position on DraftKings this weekend.

8. Justin Forsett, RB, Baltimore Ravens: $5000

Sometimes consistency can be overlooked and this is somewhat the case with Justin Forsett. There has only been one week where he scored less than 10 fantasy points and he ended up scoring 9.5 for that contest. In a game against the Tennessee Titans and their run defense that's ranked 24th in the league, Forsett has a great matchup. Additionally, his $5000 price has "excellent value play" written all over it.

7. Mark Sanchez, QB, Philadelphia Eagles: $5400

Once again, it is time for "The Sanchise" to take the helm under center for a team. With Nick Foles out for 6-8 weeks recovering from collarbone surgery, the high-octane Chip Kelly offense will be Sanchez's to operate. He performed decently against the Houston Texans last week and gets a much weaker pass coverage this week with the Carolina Panthers. If you'd consider starting Foles for $5400, then you have to for Sanchez as well.

6. Percy Harvin, WR, New York Jets: $5300

It may have taken a week and a change at QB, but Percy Harvin showed his incredible upside for the New York Jets last week. In a 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the former Florida Gator finished with 11 receptions and 129 receiving yards. The only disappointment was the lack of a TD. However, against a weak Pittsburgh Steelers secondary, Harvin is a great value at $5300 and should repeat his numbers from last week, including a TD.

5. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons: $6300

The main concern about this choice is the obvious trend of underachievement that Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons display when they're on the road. However, Ryan possesses the tools and weapons to be a top-10 QB every week. This Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their awful pass defense has him poised to actually be a top-five QB. With a $6300 price, Ryan is the clear No. 1 QB choice for under $6500.

4. Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Carolina Panthers: $4200

This former Florida State standout is nearly bust-proof this weekend. He is the No. 1 receiving option in a game with the third-highest over-under line against an exploitable Eagles secondary. Those facts alone should give the front-runner for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year a clear target in Week 10. However, with an extremely low price of $4200, Benjamin becomes a borderline "must-add" player in all cash games and tournaments.

3. LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia Eagles: $5600

The Carolina Panthers' run defense isn't as stout as it was last year, and this has led to them to being ranked 29th when it comes to stopping the run. Opposing RBs average 115 yards and one TD against them this season, and this bodes perfectly for LeSean McCoy. With a healthy Philly offensive line, weekly improvements and a lovely $5600 price, Shady is the top bargain value on DraftKings, and players must take advantage of the price.

2. Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers: $6600

After his 38.06 fantasy point explosion against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, Newton has averaged 12.29 fantasy points over his last three contests. This should lead to a strong case of recency bias when it comes to his ownership this weekend. With fully recovered ribs and an exploitable Philadelphia secondary, Newton's production may end up nearly doubling his low $6600 price. Expect at least 300 total yards and at least three TDs.

1. Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons: $6600

For the price and his incredible upside, Jones is the best value on DraftKings for Week 10. He's already torched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Week 3 of the season for nine receptions, 161 receiving yards and two TDs. Also, there's a strong possibility that he has a repeat performance facing a Tampa Bay secondary that hasn't improved at all throughout the year. Jones' price should be more in the $8000-range, so take advantage while it's low.
