Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

Notorious: Jaylen Brown – The way I see it, Brown has been underpriced and under-owned all season. He has scored 50 or more fantasy points in 11 of his last 13 games, yet he’s only $9,400 on DraftKings and $9,500 on FanDuel. Even if he had a mediocre matchup, I would be happy to play him at this price point. The fact that he gets to face the Jazz (3rd in pace, 30th in points allowed per game this season) is icing on the cake.

headChopper: Cade Cunningham – The early projected ownership feels too good to be true for Cade. He’s an elite player who stuffs multiple categories for fantasy, and the Lakers present a Charmin-soft matchup with very little sense of urgency on the defensive end. This season, they’ve allowed a league-high 38% from 3-point range. His ceiling is higher than anyone on the slate outside of Luka Doncic.

ncorfield8k: Jaylen Brown – Brown gets the best possible matchup with the Jazz, who rank 3rd in pace and 30th in defensive rating over the last 10 games. It’s also the best matchup for a Scoring Wing in our Defense vs. Archetype tool. He’s not going to be super contrarian, but Brown’s pOWN% is still too low for this matchup.
