5 Players Who Have Better Value On Draft Kings Than FanDuel In Week 9

One would think an NFL player would be the same percentage of cap hit throughout all the one-week fantasy football sites, but that is not the case. Some players, for whatever reason, are valued very differently on Draft Kings than they are on FanDuel. DFS players mustn't ponder why this is -- just who these players are. Here's a look at five players who have better value on Draft Kings than FanDuel in Week 9.

Davis is Jamaal Charles' backup, which leads many to stay away from him figuring the Kansas City Chiefs would be silly not to give Charles the ball 85 percent of the time. But Davis has seen his fair share of looks in 2014 and has been mainly productive in his chances. He's only priced at 3400 (near minimum) on Draft Kings, which would be the equivalent of $5000 on FanDuel, yet he is priced at $6400 on Fan Duel. This is outrageous.

Cooks had a huge game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, yet actually went down in price on Draft Kings this week from $4700 to $4100. That's equivalent to about $5700 on FanDuel, yet he is priced at $6400 on FD. Considering Cooks oftentimes is a high reception guy and DK is a one-point PPR instead of 0.5 on FD, he's a better fit on DK to begin with; so the fact he is cheaper just makes it gravy.

Edelman, like Cooks, is priced at $4100 on Draft Kings where he is also better suited to be conducive to fantasy success as it is not unusual to see him rack up 10 receptions on any given Thursday, Sunday or Monday. At $6800 on FanDuel, he is an above-average-priced player and a far less enticing play. On DK, he should hit or obliterate value every week at the bargain sacrifice he is listed at.

Davis hasn't been great thus far in 2014 and has been hindered by a back injury, so I wouldn't say he is a must-play by any means. However, at $3700 on Draft Kings, he's an incredibly promising GPP flier, as he could easily revert back to his old ways with a six-reception, 85-yard, one TD game and obliterate value. He's a bit overpriced on FanDuel at $5700 considering guys like Zach Ertz and Larry Donnell are cheaper.

Davis has done an admirable job in Sam Bradford's absence. Despite the St. Louis Rams' poor record, the team has not fallen apart and shows some life on offense each week. At $5500 on Draft Kings, there are only five starting QBs cheaper, yet his statistics will finish far closer to the middle of the pack than near the bottom of it. At $7000 on Fan Duel, there are about 10 QBs who are cheaper and could give you similar production.
