Blaine Gabbert ($6,100)

If I were on the fence about how strange this season has been, writing about the value offered by Blaine Gabbert pushes things right past "weird" and into "Lynchian" territory.

Since taking over the starting job in San Francisco, Gabbert has averaged 17 fantasy points per game and has proven to have a fairly safe, high floor, having yet to produce fewer than 13 fantasy points in a game.

Gabbert draws a favorable matchup against the Lions this week, who rank 30th with a schedule-adjusted 0.12 Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. It feels strange and wrong ever to play Gabbert, but he has a fairly high floor as well as a matchup that affords him plenty of upside, and he's a solid value play this week.
