Deshaun Watson, QB, Houston Texans

DraftKings Price: $4,700

The Houston Texans are nearly two-touchdown underdogs this week in New England with an implied total of only 15.25. Why, then, use a player like Deshaun Watson? Price and garbage-time potential.

At only $4,700, Watson only needs to hit just 14.1 points to return three times value this week. If Houston gets behind, which is the expected game script, the only way for Houston to keep pace against the New England Patriots is to pass and pass often. He only threw 24 passes last week as he was put in game-manager mode in a low-scoring, tight game, but Watson threw 23 times in only one half as he tried to lead Houston back from a large deficit versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

New England has given up an average of 350 yards passing per game this season, so the yards are there for the taking, and we haven't even touched on Watson's running ability, which he put on full display in Week 2.

We project Watson to finish with 225 passing yards and another 27 on the ground, leading to over 15.9 points and a great potential return on your investment should you decide to use him this week.
