QB: Mitch Trubisky, $5,600
Mitch Trubisky has shown flashes of fantasy dominance this season, with three performances of 27 points or more on the year. Facing the Lions this week, it's not a phenomenal matchup for Trubisky, but he's one of the cheaper options on the board that still has a chance to go off.
RB: Aaron Jones, $5,000
Aaron Jones has seen his touches continue to increase through the year, and against Dolphins — the second-worst rushing defense in the league — he should have plenty of opportunity to clean up on the ground.
RB: Jordan Howard, $4,700
Jordan Howard has been a bit boom-or-bust for the Bears this year, with Tarik Cohen often getting the more game-changing touches in the Bears offense. That said, this week Howard is a value at just $4,700, having scored four touchdowns in his last three games and now facing a Lions defense that might force Chicago to keep the ball on the ground.
WR: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, $5,000
Marquez Valdes-Scantling might not be the first name that jumps off to you from the Packers depth chart, but he's emerged as a talented deep threat for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense.
You might be thinking that $5,000 is too much to allocate to a boom-or-bust big play receiver, but Valdes-Scantling has shown reliable production in recent weeks, with either a touchdown or 100+ yards receiving in each of his past four games.
WR: DeSean Jackson, $4,900
DeSean Jackson said earlier this week that he wasn't happy with his current role in the Tampa Bay offense. If that means Fitzpatrick looks a few more times his way on Sunday, Jackson has been known to do a lot with his extra touches.
WR: John Ross, $3,900
With A.J. Green out, the Saints defense is going to be able to focus on stopping Bengals no. 2 receiver Tyler Boyd, which should open up opportunities for wide outs further down the Cincinnati depth chart.
John Ross is a high risk play as it's tough to guess which Bengals receiver could benefit from Green's absence, but he's got solid hands and comes at an affordable price this week.
TE: Austin Hooper, $3,800
The Cleveland Browns are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to defending the tight end, and Austin Hooper has been a regular target of Matt Ryan's of late, averaging six receptions a game over his past four outings.
DEF: Indianapolis Colts, $2,800
If you need to skimp on defense because you overspent elsewhere on your roster, the Indianapolis Colts are at home and facing a Jaguars team that has looked rather lost offensively over the past few weeks.
