6 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for the Conference Championships

Ted Ginn, WR, New Orleans Saints

Price: $5,300

The volatile nature of wide receivers tends to lend itself to more value options, and that's especially the case with pricing this week. A wideout can turn in a solid fantasy outing on only four or five targets a lot more consistently than a running back could on four or five opportunities.

Ted Ginn Jr. was an absolute steal last week, and while his price tag has increased some, it's not by nearly enough to take him out of play.

A fixture in the Saints' high-powered passing game when healthy, Ginn has least six targets in all five of the full games he has played this year, averaging 6.8 per game in that sample.

He only notched 5.9 fantasy points on seven targets last week, but that's the lowest fantasy score he posted in any of those five games, and looks to be pretty close to his floor. His catch rate was only 42.9% in that game, compared to 63.0% in the other four. Efficiency over a small sample is full of noise, so there's no real reason to be concerned about that.

What should catch your eye is Ginn's significant volume in the offense that is projected to lead the slate in scoring. That creates a ton of upside, while unlike some of our other values this week, he also offers a reasonable floor relative to his price tag.
