NFL DFS Week 9 Dart Board: Top Value Picks For DraftKings & FanDuel

The price here is the point we need to focus on because $4,400 on DK and $6,500 on FD for a starting QB is just too cheap. If he gives us the same 15 fantasy points we got last week then this is a home run and the Saints defense is dealing with injuries and the Panthers being at home are all working in his favor.

The Titans are already without Tajae Spears and Tony Pollard hasn't practiced all week. If Pollard sits then Chestnut is looking like the Titans starting running back against a bad Patriots run defense this weekend.

He's the cover of the dart board this week. With Tee Higgins out we saw Burton play a season high 40% of the team's offensive snaps. Burton is a Day 1 draft talent that fell to the third round due to maturity and off the field issues and those issues is what has kept him from the field early in this season. But there is a need to be filled and Burton was likely drafted to be the eventual Tee Higgins replacement. He almost had a touchdown catch last week to go along with his 41-yard reception but ended up not being able to complete the catch. This kid is talented and if he sees an increased snap share this week he has the potential to smash.

Tipton is seeing 70% of the offensive snap share and with Derek Carr back he will finally have a good QB to throw him the football. Most of the defensive focus here by Carolina is going to be on Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara which will allow for Tipton to get the softer coverage and the opportunities to make plays.

Three straight weeks of 80% snap share for Boutte can no go ignored. Talent has not been the problem with Boutte and if you don't know much about his backstory I suggest you go check him out but he was a highly recruited WR that was on a loaded LSU team. Injuries derailed him a bit and his draft stock fell but he was considered a high upside pick by New England when taken in the sixth round last season. With Drake Maye clearing concussion protocol I'm certainly intrigued here.

We were all geared up for Noah Fant this week and then he suffered an injury on Friday that is going to keep him out of this game. In steps rookie fourth rounder AJ Barner who saw 40% of the offensive snaps last week and had two catches for 34 yards. He is not profiling as a pass catching tight end but by default he should see an increased workload and he is $100 above min-price on DraftKings. With the opportunity and the price point he will only need a few catches to hit value.
