7 NFL FanDuel Bargains for Week 9
Rishard Matthews, WR, Tennessee Titans
Price: $5,500
Rishard Matthews has seen huge volume this season for a guy who is priced so low.
He's averaging a very nice 6.9 targets per game with an 11.5-yard average depth of target, accounting for 22% of the Tennessee Titans' targets and 29% of their air yards. Delanie Walker (ankle) is also questionable, and his absence would leave even more volume to go around, (he's averaged 7.0 targets per game).
Matthews has had a very efficient season, with a 0.75 Reception NEP per target mark that ranks 13th among the 45 wideouts with at least 40 targets. Even in a tough matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, the fantasy value that his combination of volume and efficiency give him aren't captured by his price tag.
