Welcome back to another VIP edition of underpriced players for the day. If you want game by game analysis, you tune into the podcast or Chin Music. If you want a straight list of players in good spots for less than they should cost, you look here. If you want the best players for the slate, you look for Boomer’s Bombers cheatsheets on the website, too. VIPs get access to all these articles and tools. It pays to be a VIP!
Remember, this is NOT the best players at each position. This list is to identify great value plays and perhaps open your eyes to players you might otherwise be overlooking. They ARE, however, in a specific order. They are in a consensus ranking order based on projected points totals for the day. That is important to note.
You won’t likely ever see a Coors player in here because their salaries don’t indicate value when playing in Coors. You won’t often find a stud in here because they are priced accordingly. Lately, FanDuel has been discounting the heck out of guys facing aces. Those players you will find on this list quite often, but it doesn’t mean they are great plays. The goal here is to find guys primed to have good nights or guys primed to come out of slumps, but with any list some common sense needs to be applied.
