Jakob Poeltl, C, Toronto Raptors

FanDuel Price: $4,700

Projected FanDuel Value: 3.62

There aren't many great options to pay down for at center, and you probably don't want to with some higher-priced studs in good spots. But if you're looking to be really contrarian, Jakob Poeltl is probably the best the position has to offer.

Poeltl has been a monster off the bench for Toronto. Over 67 games and 18.5 minutes, he's putting up 6.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. That's amounted to 18 FanDuel points per game, but we've seen him eclipse 25 FanDuel points four times in the last month. In fact, he's fresh off a 27.7-FanDuel-point performance on Tuesday against the Nets.

The game script would have to fall in his favor, but the upside in the matchup is there. On the year, the Pacers are 25th in fantasy points per game allowed to centers and, according to NBA.com, they're allowing the second-most blocks per game (6.4) to opponents since the break. If Poeltl's able to get the minutes, the production should follow.
