Those of you looking for a cheap but strong value Daily Fantasy Sports play for Week 17 of the NFL, look no further than Oakland Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera.
The price on Rivera is a mere $3300.
Last week he caught one pass for five yards after being targeted on four different occasions. On his one catch, Rivera nearly got the first down.
He also nearly caught one in the end zone but that pass was overthrown by Derek Carr.
This may not seem all so impressive on the surface but Oakland played a tough Buffalo team, which resulted in reduced production from Rivera. Prior to last week, however, Rivera had caught seven passes in each of the previous two games.
There is more reason to jump on the Rivera bandwagon this week. The Broncos are allowing nearly 9 Fantasy points on average to opposing tight ends per game each week. They’ve also surrendered three touchdowns in the last four games.
Oakland, which has won three of their last five games after starting the season off 0-10, will be playing for pride in Denver.
While the Broncos have already clinched the AFC West, they will try to avoid playing in the wild-card round of the playoffs next week if they lose and the Bengals beat Pittsburgh on Sunday.
