3 DraftKings Bargains for the Conference Championship Round

Can Sammy Watkins be a big-time performer in the AFC title game?

Welcome to the Conference Championship Round edition of the DraftKings bargains. Playoff football is exciting for many reasons, and we will have a two-game slate this weekend for which to build DFS lineups.

Fantasy value can be defined in so many ways. In season-long leagues, one might determine value by looking at output compared to draft position. In daily leagues, we're often looking at output per $1,000 in salary.

Finding cheap players who can bust out for big games is pivotal to fitting in high-priced players like Todd Gurley, and it is a key component of tournament-winning lineups.

Everyone has their own idea of where the cutoff for a value player is. For DraftKings, this article looks at quarterbacks who are priced under $6,000, running backs and wide receivers priced under $5,000, and tight ends priced under $4,000.

Some value players jump out and may have wildly high ownership, while others aren't as obvious. To make your decisions easier, we're here to crunch the numbers and do our best to point out those bargains to you.

So, what are we waiting for? Let's go digging for value.
