Take a look at 10 bargain plays on FanDuel in Week 13 that could bring you tremendous value.
10. Justin Hunter - WR - Tennessee Titans - $5,900

Since Zach Mettenberger took over at QB for the Tennessee Titans, he has fallen in love with getting WR Justin Hunter the ball. Hunter sees plenty of targets and many of them in routes that are quite far down field. Against the Houston Texans, whose pass defense lets up the most fantasy points in the NFL, Hunter could have a huge day and won't take much to obliterate his value at $ 5,900.
9. Matt Bryant - K - Atlanta Falcons - $4,900

Matt Bryant is cheap and he is kicking indoors in the Georgia Dome. The Atlanta Falcons host the Arizona Cardinals, who keep winning, but have had an abysmal pass defense overall this season. Matt Ryan and company should have no trouble moving the ball, therefore, giving Bryant plenty of opportunities to score.
8. Jerick McKinnon - RB - Minnesota Vikings - $5,500

I am not convinced that newly-acquired RB Ben Tate will take a large majority of looks away from Jerick McKinnon and he should get plenty of opportunities, particularly while Matt Asiata is out. The Minnesota Vikings are taking on the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, and the Panthers' run defense has been abominable this season. Both Vikings RBs are probably worth a play and McKinnon is really cheap.
7. Jonathan Stewart - RB - Carolina Panthers - $5,000

The Minnesota Vikings' run defense hasn't been anything to write home about either and if there was ever a week that QB Cam Newtion could get some help out of the backfield, it is this week. Jonathan Stewart has been more productive than DeAngelo Williams this year and he should see plenty of carries, even if he splits them with Williams. The Panthers' passing game is suspect, so they need to get production out of the run game.
6. Miami Dolphins D/ST - $4,900

The Miami Dolphins' defense has been sneaky good this season and they take on the possibly Geno Smith-led New York Jets which would make them, in my book, an absolute must-start regardless of their price tag. Thankfully, however, they are only $ 4,900, which could help you save $ 500-600 in cap space to use elsewhere. If paired with the aforementioned kicker Matt Bryant, you should be able to roster a WR or RB you otherwise could not.
5. Blake Bortles - QB - Jacksonville Jaguars - $6,200

Blake Bortles has been disappointingly turnover-prone thus far into his young career. However, he is still averaging 13 fantasy PPG on FanDuel, which means a 20-point day isn't out of the question -- particularly against a New York Giants pass defense that is riddled with injuries and really struggling.
4. Trent Richardson - RB - Indianapolois Colts - $5,900

Trent Richardson stepped up last week in Ahmad Bradshaw's absence with 42 yards and a TD. He could be a great option going forward this season simply because the Indianapolis Colts' pass game is so devastating that opposing defenses cannot afford to stack the box against the run. The Washington Redskins have been decent against the run this season, but they're woefully inadequate in the secondary and cannot afford to focus much attention his way.
3. Antonio Gates - TE - San Diego Chargers - $5,600

The San Diego Chargers need a win in the worst way against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend, particularly considering both teams are still fighting for an AFC playoff berth. QB Philip Rivers has a history of falling in love with Antonio Gates in games against tough defenses, which the Ravens' is in 2014. Gates has slowed down a bit in recent weeks, but still has two-TD potential and plays most of the team's snaps at TE.
2. Darren Sproles - RB - Philadelphia Eagles - $5,900

Darren Sproles is always dangerous indoors against a suspect run defense, and that is exactly what he is up against in Dallas versus the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. While LeSean McCoy will get the majority of the carries, Sproles will still see between six and 10 -- with a few being in the red zone on high-probability scoring plays. He also is a big-time threat to return a kick back for a TD.
1. Kenny Stills - WR - New Orleans Saints - $5,100

Kenny Stills will almost certainly be worth playing every week on FanDuel going forward at least until his price reaches $ 6,500. With Brandin Cooks out for the season now, Stills is getting heavy consideration from QB Drew Brees, who targeted him nine times on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. This should continue and Stills is capable of 100 yards with a TD, which would pulverize that value.
