No. 4: WR Jeremy Maclin (BAL) $4,500 @ Green Bay

The Baltimore Ravens offense is lost this season. They have not found any kind of rhythm in the pass game or the running game. However, veteran wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has been quietly solid all season long. He is severely under price on DraftKings this week.

In his last game before Baltimore’s Week 10 bye, Maclin had one of his best games in recent memory. His eight-catch, 98-yard performance seems to be forgotten by many, and he is a great value play for Week 11. 

Baltimore is getting back their pass-catching running back Danny Woodhead, who came off of the injured reserve list this week. Whether he plays this week or not is yet to be determined, but his presences helps Maclin’s fantasy football value. Baltimore has not found an identity on offense in 2017. Woodhead’s return clearly defines them as a passing team, and that means more looks for Maclin.

Maclin is $200 cheaper than the top receiver on the other sideline in this game, Jordy Nelson. Nelson hasn’t gotten anywhere close to eight catches and 98 yards since quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ injury. Maclin is far more consistent and reliable than Nelson this week. Maclin is both the possession receiver and a red-zone target for the Ravens offense.

That is hard to find at under $5,000 in daily fantasy football.
