The prices on DraftKings are usually lower than those on FanDuel. However, the differences this week seem to be more egregious than usual. While DraftKings has really soft pricing and there are tons of value plays on the site, FanDuel has extremely sharp pricing that makes it harder to find good value plays. With that said, there are still five players on FanDuel that are better values than they are on DraftKings. Let's take a look at them.

Considering the fact that at least 90 percent of the players on DraftKings are cheaper than they are on FanDuel, Antonio Brown was an easy choice since he's cheaper on FanDuel. While it may not seem like it's a huge difference since he's only 0 cheaper on FanDuel, the money saved can help you price up to better options due to the sharper pricing and depending on how your roster is constructed.

Arian Foster falls into the same category as Antonio Brown since he's cheaper on FanDuel than on DraftKings. However, the price difference is a bit more significant as he costs ,900 on DraftKings compared to his ,400 price on FanDuel. As many daily fantasy players know, saving 0 in any situation can really help you construct a lineup that has a greater chance of being successful and increasing their bankroll.

On the surface, it may not make sense for Vick to appear here since he's ,900 on FanDuel and ,600 on DraftKings. However, ,600 on DraftKings is the equivalent of around ,000 on FanDuel. Additionally, the options below Vick on FanDuel aren't as good as the ones on DraftKings unless someone would prefer choosing Brian Hoyer or Mike Glennon over the likes of Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill and Joe Flacco.

2. Martavis Bryant - WR - Pittsburgh Steelers

When it comes to Bryant's price, he costs ,500 on DraftKings which is the equivalent of ,000 on FanDuel. However, he is priced at ,300 on FanDuel and the options in his range are not as appealing as they are on DraftKings. For example, Steve Smith Sr. is only 0 more than him on DraftKings, but 0 more on FanDuel. Additionally, the cheaper and favorable options below Bryant on FanDuel are significantly less than on DraftKings.

Eli Manning's price is higher on FanDuel than it is on DraftKings, but there's only a 0 difference. Additionally, there are a few cheaper options on DraftKings that have potentially better matchups such as Colin Kaepernick, Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill and Joe Flacco. On FanDuel, only Flacco is listed cheaper out of the QBs that I've listed. Due to the lack of closely priced options, Manning is actually a better value on FanDuel.
