Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos

DraftKings Price: $5,800

Projected Points: 17.9

Projected Value (points per $1,000): 3.09

If there was a chorus of fantasy owners that were not sold on Case Keenum heading into the season, they've surely been quieted after his efficient performance in Week 1. Last year's second-most accurate passer had some questionable throws -- he threw 3 interceptions -- but he finished the day with 3 touchdowns and 3 extra points from DraftKing's 300-yard passing bonus, making him the fifth-best quarterback on the site in Week 1.

The Broncos will get a second straight home game to start the season, this week against an Oakland Raiders defense that was embarrassed by the Los Angeles Rams. Our models have the Raiders as the ninth-worst passing defense in the league and fourth-worst against starting quarterbacks.

Denver enters this week's game with an implied total of 26.0, fifth-highest on the slate. The team is averaging 7.5 more points at home than on the road since the 2016 season, and Keenum is a significant upgrade over the likes of Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.

We project Keemum to finish with 17.9 points this week and return a value of 3.09 DraftKings points per $1,000 in salary.
