7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 8

Vance McDonald, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

Price: $5,300

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 29.5-point implied total is the week's third-highest mark as they draw a great matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland actually comes in as our top-ranked pass defense on the season, but they've also allowed plenty of fantasy goodness in the passing game, giving up top-10 production to wideouts and the 16th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. As a bit of a hybrid between the two positions (PlayerProfiler.com has him in the slot on slightly more than 10% of the Steelers' offensive snaps), Vance McDonald is in a good spot to produce.

He's never going to be the top passing threat in an offense that includes Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, but McDonald has seen at least five targets in four of his five games this season. And he notched a season-high eight looks in his last outing.

McDonald has also been quite efficient with his limited volume, topping 10.0 FanDuel points twice, including a 19.2-point performance on only five targets back in Week 3.
