Case Keenum, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Price: $7,600

At $7,500, Marcus Mariota should draw a lot of attention after a big game last week, and he's not in a terrible position this week in what is projected to be a high-scoring matchup against the New England Patriots. But Case Keenum represents a value play in what could be the highest-scoring game of the weekend.

The Vikings and Saints have the second-highest over/under on the week at 45.0 points, second only to the Patriots and Titans (47.0 points). But while the Titans are 13.0-point underdogs and have an implied point total of just 17, the Vikings are 4.0-point favorites and have an implied point total of 24.5.

Over the final two weeks of the season, Keenum wasn't asked to do much in low-scoring affairs against the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. But in the six weeks prior, Weeks 10 to 15, Keenum was a top-10 fantasy quarterback in four of the six outings, and he threw multiple touchdowns in all but one game.

Last week, Cam Newton tagged the Saints defense for 349 yards and 2 touchdowns en route to the top quarterback finish of the week. As the fifth-highest priced quarterback, Keenum may have the best ceiling this week of any quarterback not named Tom Brady.
