Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

DraftKings Price: $7,600
Projected Points: 25.8

The New Orleans Saints have an implied team total (ITT) of 26.50 points and are favorited by 5.5 points as they travel to face the Green Bay Packers. The Saints have the highest ITT of the Sunday main slate on DraftKings and present savvy DFS players with a great opportunity to pay up at the quarterback position.

With a bevy of cheap signal callers in decent spots in Week 7, the contrarian play might actually be to pay all the way up for the most expensive quarterback priced on the slate. Our models have Drew Brees projected to score 25.8 DraftKings points, 4.2 points more than the next highest option, Marcus Mariota.

With such a discrepancy in scoring projections between the 1st- and 2nd-ranked quarterback, locking in Brees in large tournaments provides us with an opportunity to not only have the highest projected quarterback but to have the quarterback with the best value rating (3.54).
