The right value plays are vital to a strong FanDuel performance. There isn't enough cap space to have all the studs in your lineup. Here are the 10 best bargains for the NFL Divisional Round to help you clear some room for the big boys.

Gano has hit double-digit fantasy scores in four of his last five games. His opponent this weekend is the Seattle Seahawks, a team he put up 10 points against in Week 8. He's not a bad play for the minimum price tag.

The Panthers' defense is red hot, averaging 14.2 points (all fantasy scores are by FanDuel's scoring system) over the last five games. The unit faced the Seahawks in Week 8 and put up a respectable nine points.

Thomas has been cold over the last three weeks, but the silver lining is that it drove is price down very nicely. He's capable of a 20-point performance at any time and had his best game of the season against this weekend's opponent. In Week 1, Thomas put up 31.9 points against the Indianapolis Colts.

7. QB Cam Newton - $7,700

Newton is the cheapest quarterback starting this weekend, which is primarily why he's on this list. He put up a dud against the Seahawks in Week 8, scoring just 6.24 points. That said, you never know. With his running ability, Newton always has nice upside, and his red-hot defense may set him up with a few scoring opportunities.

6. QB Joe Flacco - $7,800

I'm not sure if Flacco is the best quarterback in the NFL, and FanDuel certainly doesn't have him priced that way. He is on quite the playoff hot streak though, winning his last five games while throwing 13 TDs and no INTs. There's no reason to think he won't keep rolling against the New England Patriots' No. 17 ranked pass defense.

5. WR Cole Beasley - $5,300

Beasley has averaged a solid, yet modest 10.16 over his last five games. He's easily the most reliable fantasy receiver anywhere near his price tag. A shootout is possible with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, which would give his fantasy value a boost.

4. WR Donte Moncrief - $5,500

Moncrief is certainly no sure thing, but his upside is very nice considering his price tag. The Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos also has the makings of a shootout.

3. WR Terrance Williams - $5,800

Williams usually needs the end zone for a fantasy-relevant game, but when he scores, he scores big. Not having him can burn you, especially If he has another game like last weekend's 22.7-point performance.

2. RB Justin Forsett - $6,800

Despite the early-season running back shuffle in Baltimore, Forsett has averaged 14.1 fantasy points per game this season. He's had a couple of duds lately, but his price tag is well worth it considering his capabilities.

1. RB Daniel Herron - $6,100

Herron's heavy involvement in the passing game last week (10 receptions for 85 yards) is a good sign for a possible shootout with the Broncos. The 23.1 fantasy points he notched also bodes well for this weekend. You are rolling the dice big time with any other running back in his price range.
