For those who can't cut fantasy football out of their lives cold turkey, FanDuel has your back. There will be several fantasy competitions in Week 17. To help all you fantasy addicts cope, here are my 10 favorite value plays for NFL Week 17.

10. D/ST Buffalo Bills - $4,700

The Bills will take on the New England Patriots to finish the season. The Pats clinched home-field throughout the playoffs on Monday night, but Bill Belichick does have a history of playing starters in meaningless games. Regardless, the Patriots' offense just put up 17 points on the New York Jets, and they're sure to treat Week 17 like practice.

Bennet did not benefit from Jimmy Clausen's start, making just one grab for no yardage. This week, he should get back to some nice production with Jay Cutler back under center.

8. QB Teddy Bridgewater - $7,500

Bridgewater has been a quietly solid fantasy play lately. Over his last five games, the rookie has averaged 18.33 points per game with a low of 14.72. This week, Bridgewater is at home against the pathetic Chicago Bears secondary.

7. QB Case Keenum - $6,000

Considering he came off of another team's practice squad, Keenum looked decent against the Baltimore Ravens. Arian Foster vultured his TD pass, but that probably won't happen again. With more practice time under his belt, Keenum has a good shot at a solid fantasy day at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

6. WR Rueben Randle - $5,900

With three monster performances in a row, Odell Beckham obviously requires more attention than he is getting from opposing defenses. The Philadelphia Eagles have probably done this simple math as well, which should open things up for Randle. He had a nice performance on Sunday, putting up 22.2 points against the St. Louis Rams. I think he's a good bet for another nice day.

5. WR Malcom Floyd - $5,600

With Keenan Allen out, Floyd put together a solid 13-point performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Allen has a chance to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it doesn't look good. If Allen sits, Floyd is definitely worth his price tag.

4. WR Albert Wilson - $5,600

Wilson has emerged as one of Kansas City's best playmakers since taking over as the No. 2 wideout. He's been targeted 20 times in his last three games, and turned that into 12 grabs for 209 yards. Alex Smith has been trying to go deep lately, and Wilson is frequently the target. The undrafted rookie is a good value play with some nice upside.

3. RB Jordan Todman - $5,000

Toby Gerhart is still dealing with a rib contusion suffered last Thursday against the Tennessee Titans. If Gerhart sits, Todman could be a nice start against the Houston Texans this week. He ran for 71 yards and a TD on five carries against the Titans. Houston's run defense is a little better than the Tennessee's, but increased touches should help Todman account for that.

2. RB Jonathan Stewart - $6,600

Even if DeAngelo Williams is able to return from his hand injury, Ron Rivera has to see that Stewart should be the featured back. In Stewart's last three games, he has run for 352 yards on 66 carries, adding two total TDs. For the entire season, Williams has run for 219 yards and no TDs on 63 carries. The Carolina Panthers have to lead with their best foot in a win-and-in game on Sunday, which should make Stewart a great play.

1. RB Matt Asiata - $6,400

Asiata has not only scored three TDs in his last two, but also made 10 grabs for 69 yards during yards during that span. FanDuel gives half a point per reception, which makes Asiata a great play against the fantasy-friendly Bears.
