This article will focus on the best value play at each position using NFL DraftKings’ pricing for the Sunday 1 p.m. slate. We will provide one cheap option at every position based on matchups and game theory from top to bottom. Now that we’ve done the housekeeping, let’s get into Week 15.
Quarterback: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys ($8,000)
Prescott is averaging almost 28 fantasy points per game over the last five games. This week, he has a good matchup against the Bills’ 26th-ranked defense against the QB position. Vegas has this game with the second-highest projected total on the slate, and Prescott should be a huge part of it; you can stack him with his top two receivers, CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.
Running Back: Devin Singletary, Houston Texans ($5,400)
Although Dameon Pierce is back from his injury, it still looks like Singletary is taking over the Texans’ backfield. He saw 13 carries last week to just four for Pierce. Consider him a value play this week against the Titans, who are missing some of their best run defenders.
Wide Receiver: Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders ($5,600)
McLaurin has had a down year from a fantasy perspective. He hit a new low in Week 13, as he had zero receptions for zero yards. Coming off that absolute donut, I think the Commanders will look to get McLaurin involved this week. Note: This is pure speculation, but it makes sense.
Tight End: Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears ($4,500)
Kmet is averaging 11 fantasy points per game over the last two games, having established himself as Justin Fields’ second-favorite target after D.J. Moore. He has a good matchup this week against the Browns’ defense, which is one of the best in the league overall but only the 24th-ranked defense against the TE position.
Defense: New York Jets DEF ($2,500)
The Jets’ defense is averaging 11 fantasy points per game over the last three games. They are one of the best units in the league, so they are worth a look even with a matchup against the electric Miami offense. In Week 12, the Jets’ defense had two INTs, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a TD against the Dolphins. They are the best value at defense this week.
