4 DraftKings Bargains for Conference Championship Weekend
Alshon Jeffery has a tough individual matchup this weekend Xavier Rhodes of the Vikings, but his current role in Philadelphia's offense makes him an intriguing option. Which other low-cost NFL players should you target in DFS contests?

Alshon Jeffery, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

DraftKings Price: $4,600

Nick Foles has now played three full games since replacing Carson Wentz under center, and the Philadelphia Eagles' target tree has become much more condensed because of it.

Zach Ertz has led the team with a 26.4% target share from Foles, with Nelson Agholor (17.9%) and Alshon Jeffery (16%) trailing closely behind. Red zone targets in that span have been much closer, though, with Ertz (5) just slightly leading Jeffery (4). It's also the latter who accounted for 35.73% (fourth-highest among all divisional round receivers) of Philadelphia's air yards last week.

Jeffery is admittedly in store for one of the toughest matchups of the weekend against Xavier Rhodes, who allowed a paltry 55% catch rate to opposing wide receivers this season. Even so, Jeffery's sudden adjustment in pricing -- already $1,400 cheaper than he was in Week 17 ($6,000) -- is a market inefficiency in comparison to his current salary at FanDuel ($7,300). Given the red zone targets, Jeffery needs to get free just once from Rhodes in order to potentially return value on DraftKings.
