All scores mentioned in this article are according to DraftKings' scoring system. Now let's take a look at DraftKings' best value plays for NFL Week 17.

The New England Patriots have already secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, though Bill Belichick often plays starters in meaningless games. Regardless, the players should treat it like practice against the second-highest scoring D/ST in fantasy football.

Andy Dalton's security blanket has averaged 12.68 points per game over his last five contests. I have no clue why he is priced just 200 bucks higher than the minimum for tight ends.

8. WR Marqise Lee - $4,200

Lee is coming along nicely, averaging 11.88 points in his last four games. This week, the rookie gets to face the most fantasy-friendly defense to opposing wide receivers in the Houston Texans.

7. WR Terrance Williams - $3,500

Williams emerged from his five-week disappearing act last week with a 19.2-point performance. If he can keep it going against an awful Washington Redskins' secondary, he'll be one of the best values of the week.

6. WR Albert Wilson - $3,800

Wilson's averaging 10.97 points per game in three games as a starter. Believe it or not, Alex Smith has been throwing deep lately, and Wilson is most often the target. The play-making rookie has plenty of upside this week against the San Diego Chargers.

5. RB Branden Oliver - $3,500

Ryan Matthews missed practice Tuesday, putting his availability for Week 17 in even more doubt. If he sits, Oliver should lead the backfield against a very soft Kansas City Chiefs run defense.

4. RB Jordan Todman - $3,100

Todman's value is based purely on Toby Gerhart's availability. If Gerhart plays through his rib injury, do not select Todman. If Gerhart sits, Todman is a bargain at 100 bucks over the minimum for running backs.

3. RB Doug Martin - $3,300

Martin is a gamble if there ever was one, but he does offer some nice upside at a very low price. Only three teams allow more fantasy points to running backs than Martin's Week 17 opponent, the New Orleans Saints. Are you feeling lucky?

2. QB Andy Dalton - $6,000

Dalton will take on the very beatable Pittsburgh Steelers secondary on Sunday Night Football. When he faced them in Week 14, Dalton put up 30.28 fantasy points.

1. QB Teddy Bridgewater - $5,900

Bridgewater has averaged 19.53 points over his last five games, with a low performance of 14.72. You're not going to find steady production like that at a price as low as his. The rookie is at home this week against the second-most fantasy-friendly defense to opposing quarterbacks in the Chicago Bears.
