In here you will find my thoughts on potential Junk Yard Dogs ( called so because I liked the almost alliteration with my name), guys at the junkier end of the cost scale who can provide you value, which will leave you more cash for the guys you want.. Please remember I am not one of the coaches, but am really just sharing my own research.
This is focused on cash games on DK. I am not speaking to what position they or their teams are in for today’s specific games, just pointing out players you might want to look at for your bottom up build. These guys provide value for their price
Remember, for value we are looking for players hitting about .6 points or more per $1000 in price. Numbers shown are their price and avg points over the last 10 games, and all players listed have hit value in at least 6 of those 10 games.
With 13 games on the slate there are alot of options, so I lowered my threshold for Defense to those with a Dk cost of under 4K. Smaller slates I will likely raise that to show more players.
I have divided my D list into two groups. The first group are hitting value based on blocked shots and shots taken alone, with that value in brackets.

Group 1
Polak 3k 2.6 pts ( 2)
Nurse 3.1 k 3 pts ( 2.1)
Chychrun 3.2 k 2.7 pts ( 2.2)
Schlemko 3.3 k 2.3 pts (2)
Russell 3.4 k 3.1 pts (2.2)
Morrissey 3.6 k 2.8 pts (2)
Edler 3.8 k 3.5 pts (2.5)
Group 2
The rest of the Defense don’t have as safe of a floor as the first group, but are still hitting value more often than not last 10 games.
Manson 2.9 k 2.4 pts
Dekeyser 3.1 k 2.2 pts
J Johnson 3.2k 2.8 pts
Stone 3.2 k 2.3 pts
T VanRiemsdyk 3.3 k 2.5 pts
Bouwmeester 3.4 k 2.5 pts
Goligoski 3.6 k 3.5 pts
Lindell 3.6 k 2.8 pts
Cole 3.7 k 2.7 pts
Wingers
On wing we have a smaller group to consider.
Armia 3.2 K 3.2 pts
Versteeg 3.6 k 3.5 pts ( hit value last 5 straight games)
Rantannen 3.8 k 3.4 pts
Weal 3.8 k 3 pts ( also hit the last 5 games)
Andryghetto 3.9 k 3.6 pts
Teravainen 4.3 k 3.1 pts
Tatar 4.5 k 3.7 pts.
Centers
Center is always the hardest spot to find cheap value, so we are limited to two even with such a big slate.
Nielson 4.1 k 3.2 pts
Hanzel 4.3 k 3.8 pts ( just barely qualifying)
Summary
There were other guys who were close, like Savard in Columbus, or Dvorak in Ari, or Henrique in NJ, that are putting up numbers, but didn’t hit that minimum 6 /10 games consistency that we are looking for in cash. They may be more GPP guys for you. And remember, the idea here is to find some lower priced value guys that will allow you to maybe mini stack or one off some higher priced guys from the primary offences as @choppodong lays out in his video. It’s only 15 min long.
Thanks for reading. Any questions toss them out there. see you in chat where i am sure someone will be able to answer.
