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 will usually appear on Saturdays and not include the early Thursday games. This first release is coming early though as I will be in Vegas competing in the FFPC contests.

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 4 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.

• Bilal Powell is grossly undervalued as the only healthy NYJ running back. At $4,700 he should be in all of your 50/50 and head to head lineups
• If Ray Rice scratches, Bernard Pierce becomes a very solid play against the Bills run defense
• QB Terrell Pryor could be a huge bargain should he be cleared to play before the game. *** Update (9/29) - Matt Flynn is starting

Sample $60K Roster (Updated 9/29) - Projected Points = 130.85
