Top NFL DFS Value Plays
Khalil Herbert – $4,600
Herbert returned from injured reserve in Week 11 and played 43% of snaps, but with D’Onta Foreman out, Herbert is expected to return to the lead back status he had prior to his injury. Herbert has a tough matchup with a Vikings defense that has given up the 27th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to running backs over the past five weeks. Herbert’s projection of 11.69 fantasy points is the fourth best of all players in Stokastic’s OwnersBox NFL DFS projections.
Cole Kmet – $4,400
Kmet is third on the Bears in route participation at 66.8% and second in target share at 17.7%. Kmet faces a Vikings defense that has given up the 15th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends over the past five weeks. Kmet is tied for second on the team with five end zone targets, converting four. His projection of 9.90 is eighth best on the slate.
Brandon Powell – $3,400
Powell ran routes on 71.1% of dropbacks in Week 11 and was tied for third on the Vikings with four targets. Powell’s projection of 7.65 fantasy points is the sixth-best value and 11th-best overall projection on the slate.
Alexander Mattison – $5,000
Mattison played 64% of snaps in Week 11, had 18 of the Vikings’ 28 running back carries and ran routes on 56.2% of dropbacks. Mattison has a nice matchup with a Bears defense that has given up the ninth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to running backs over the past five weeks.
