4 DraftKings Bargains for the Divisional Round
Vance McDonald has seen nice usage in previous weeks, and he's priced at the minimum on DraftKings. Which other low-cost players should you check out?

Vance McDonald, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

DraftKings Price: $2,500

In two games since returning from injury, Vance McDonald has progressively played 47.54% and 62.71% of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive snaps. His latter usage in Week 17 was a season-high mark and 23 percentage points above his season average (39.3%).

More importantly, the Steelers aren't using him strictly as a blocker -- a skill in which McDonald ranked third-overall among tight ends, according to Pro Football Focus. He's also been in on six more passing snaps (36-30) than teammate Jesse James over the last two games, amassing four more targets (7 to 3) in that stint.

For the stone minimum on DraftKings, there's arguably no better value usage-wise. And while a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars' top-ranked passing defense, per our numbers), isn't ideal, Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye could funnel targets away from the Steelers' wideouts.
