3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Detroit Pistons

The player to squeeze by Lee? With a tournament-to-cash ratio of 70.37%, that would be Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

KCP has the same number of tournament-worthy games and at the same rate, but he's done so with ever so slightly more volatility. It doesn't seem possible, but it's true. Caldwell-Pope has had a game with 1.0 FDP and another with 53.3 FDP. Lee, on the other hand, topped out at 35.8.

This volatility has held KCP to one of the lower salaries at the position. He's maxed out at $6,000 and can usually be had for about $5,000. That's what is so intriguing about him as a DFS option and a player.

While coming at a discounted price, the Detroit Pistons shooting guard has shown he can fill it up with the best of them. He's posted 15 games of 20 or more points and 16 with at least 3 treys to boot. Keep targeting him in good matchups throughout Detroit's last 25 games.
