7 FanDuel Value Plays for Wild Card Weekend
Markus Wheaton ($5,900)
No matter how much I tried to ignore and discount it this season, Markus Wheaton has become a thing in fantasy football.
He's averaging 7.8 targets per game over the last six (only 0.5 targets per game behind Martavis Bryant for the second most on the Steelers), and has become one of their top red zone options. He has seen 35 percent of Pittsburgh's red zone targets over the last six games, tied with Antonio Brown for the team lead. The next highest is only 13 percent. He has also been the most efficient Steelers receiver, posting a 0.79 Reception NEP per target.
He's got a fairly good matchup against a Bengals defense that is fielding the second worst pass defense playing this week (ranking 14th, per our metrics) and a lot of upside with such a high red zone target share in a game in which the Steelers have an implied total of 24.25, the highest of the week.
