Footballguys has partnered with FanDuel and as part of that deal, I will be penning a weekly piece that tries to cover some of the finer points on beating their contests. This article appears on Saturdays and does not include the early Thursday game.

My approach to FanDuel's Daily Games

In salary cap games where other companies are determining prices, I like to see where their thoughts differ substantially from my projections. My value chart below matches up my projections against FanDuel's prices:

Some explanation of my Excel manipulation is in order:

• Everything is sorted by position
• I have converted my projections to FanDuel Fantasy Points. These figures appear in the FP column.
• The Price column reflects FanDuel's Week 13 Price
• The Price per FP column reflects the cost per projected fantasy point (the lower the value the better).
• I have highlighted player's names (in green) that should be strong considerations for your lineups. They generally reflect the most bang for the buck at their respective positions. Players in yellow also are worth consideration when building your roster.

General Thoughts

Situations that stand out to me this week.

• I like these passing offenses to produce better than normal fantasy points this week: Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, New York Giants, Arizona
• I like these rushing offenses to produce better than normal fantasy points this week: Minnesota, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Cincinnati, New York Jets
• Readers suggested I give them some tournament long shots that could do well this week. I rate tournament longshots as players that likely will be owned by less that 5% of the rosters. Here are some of the guys I am targeting in some of my tournaments as high-upside selections: QB Andy Dalton ($7,600), RB Matt Forte ($8,700), WR Dwayne Bow ($5,300), WR Brian Hartline ($4,900), WR Marvin Jones ($5,200), WR Michael Floyd ($6,300), TE Anthony Fasano ($4,600), TE Martellus Bennett ($5,400), TE Jordan Cameron, ($5,700), PK Phil Dawson ($5,000), PK Matt Prater ($5,400), Def Chicago ($5,000)

Sample $60K Roster - Projected Points = 129.5

• QB Josh McCown, Chi - $6,100
• RB Adrian Peterson, Min - $9,100

• TE Vernon Davis, SF - $6,100
• WR A.J. Green, Cin - $8,800
