5 Players Whose FanDuel Salaries Are Way Too Low
Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
FanDuel Price: $5,000
When FanDuel released their Week 1 pricing, Tony Romo was expected to open the season under center for the Dallas Cowboys. But whenever Romo went down with a back injury in the third week of the preseason, it was too late -- the pricing was set and we were gifted with an athletic starting quarterback for just $5,000 in Dak Prescott.
In general, it's fine to pay up at that quarterback position on FanDuel in cash games, as you want a consistent, projectable performance. But when a minimum price option becomes available, it opens up numerous possibilities for the rest of your lineup.
You’ll see Prescott touted as a top cash game play this weekend, but the historical numbers don’t back up the love. Over the past three seasons, minimum priced quarterbacks on FanDuel have reached cash game value -- 10.0 points -- just 42.8 percent of the time.
With great value at other positions this week -- some of whom are on this list -- there’s little reason to save money at the quarterback position.
