Josh McCown, QB, New York Jets

DraftKings Price: $4,500

It's not often that one wants to roster a starting quarterback on DraftKings for $4,500, but here we are. The New York Jets' Josh McCown has hovered in this sub-$5,000 price range since Week 1. His performances have been very, well, McCown-ish -- a bland blend of mediocre sprinkled with hints of over-performance.

He's completed at least two-thirds of his passes in each of his four games this season. He also has five turnovers. In Week 2 and Week 3, he comfortably returned over three times value. In Week 1 and Week 4? Not so much. He does, however, get an excellent matchup this week against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns have been the fourth-most generous defense to opposing quarterbacks, allowing an average of 22.35 points per game. We have them ranked dead last against the pass, according to our metrics, which is the big reason you're going to see two more Jets (gasp) in this slideshow.

That said, don't expect McCown to go off for a 30-spot. The game has an over/under of 39 points with the Jets' implied total at 18.75. If you are looking for a punt play who can return three to four times value this week, McCown is your guy. If you are looking for a Week 4 Deshaun Watson, look elsewhere.
