DeMarcus Cousins, C, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $5,100

DeMarcus Cousins played only 15 minutes in his season debut, but Dubs coach Steve Kerr said after the game he'd like to see Boogie play about 20.

Cousins has averaged 1.49 FanDuel points per minute over the last four seasons, and even in only 20 minutes, that average would be good for some solid value at this price-point.

If you're concerned about rust or lingering injury woes reducing his efficiency, Friday's debut should have gone a long way toward alleviating your concerns. He dropped 30.7 fantasy points in that limited run, going off for 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block with 11 field goal attempts.

While we're not going to continue seeing his usage rate sit north of 36%, it's a good sign that he was still filling it up with peripherals, and he offers solid upside for as long as his price sits this low.
