7 FanDuel Value Plays for Wild Card Weekend
Jordan Reed ($7,400)
Jordan Reed is by far the most expensive tight end on this weeks' slate, but he still offers the best value at the position. Reed's recent usage has been down-right Gronkowskian.
His efficiency has been fairly solid, posting a 0.73 Reception NEP per target that ranks sixth among tight ends with 50-plus targets on the year, but the bulk of his value comes from his role in the offense. He leads Washington with 8.0 targets per game over the last six, while no other Washington player even eclipses 7.0 per game. He has seen 25 percent of the teams' targets over that span and 29 percent of the red zone targets.
Washington has an implied total of 23.5 this week, which is the second highest on the slate. Reed has the highest floor you can find among tight ends, and with his solid efficiency and huge red zone usage, as well as a decent matchup, he also has the highest upside at the position.
