What wide receivers and tight ends with low salaries are most appealing for lineup building?
- Courtland Sutton
- Stefon Diggs
- Marquise Brown
- Larry Fitzgerald
- Auden Tate
- Corey Davis
- Chris Herndon
- Delanie Walker
- Jordan Akins
- Tyler Eifert
- Hayden Hurst

- Courtland Sutton's price barely budged despite yet another impressive performance. He's making splash plays, has a nose for the end zone, a great matchup one-on-one matchup against Malcolm Butler, and a safe target floor. He's cash game viable with a high enough ceiling for GPPs.
- Mecole Hardman has at least one reception of 30 yards in three out of his last four games, making him an ideal GPP play. Assuming Tyreek Hill's return coincides with Sammy Watkins sitting out, Hardman's playing time will remain steady and defenses will now have to account for both speedsters. If any team is going to solve the dilemma, it probably won't be the Texans, who have allowed the seventh-most PPR fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this year.

Marquise Brown is cheap and facing the Bengals. With Lamar Jackson throwing three interceptions last week, some may fade the Ravens after early-season mania. That's a mistake, as the Ravens and Jackson remain compelling every-week assets.
Larry Fitzgerald is a top-5 receiver in cash lineups this week given his incredibly low salary, favorable matchup, and thinning of the Cardinals receiver corps.

Larry Fitzgerald sticks out this week in a game against the Falcons that could be back in forth with some high scoring potential. The Falcons defense has been exposed this season as it seems like every passing offense that faces them has their highest fantasy game when they face them.
I am continuing to like Corey Davis in tournaments as he is the type of player that could erupt with a big game here or there and with such a minimal salary for DFS purposes and the low expected ownership he makes a lot of sense as you WR3 type to help iron out your tournament rosters.

Courtland Sutton stands out to me the most in this group of players. He has at least 87 yards receiving or a touchdown in four of his five games, and at least seven targets and four receptions in every game this season. His touchdown this past week highlighted his strength and big-play ability after the catch, which is the reputation he brought with him from college. He is a guy who I salivate at every week because his salary continues to be very affordable despite churning out points. He is just starting to hit his stride as he overtakes Emmanuel Sanders as the Broncos #1 option in the passing game.
Stefon Diggs has been criminally underused so far this season. In the two games where he's seen seven targets, he has either a touchdown or 100+ receiving yards. As long as he sees a solid volume of targets, he will produce, but we have to see if the Vikings are serious about having a balanced offense. He has had monster games in year's past, which makes me feel like one of those games are just around the corner. As long as his salary stays affordable, I will invest 10%+ exposure in him, especially this week against a banged-up Eagles secondary that is 30th in points given up to opposing wide receivers.
