It’s Black Friday, a day where everyone is looking for deals. This extends to daily fantasy hockey where we’ll highlight some deals in FanDuel to build winning lineups. For each position we'll list a top VALUE play, as well as a few other VALUE selections, and a player to AVOID.
DEFENSEMEN
Best Value: Ryan Suter, Minnesota Wild, $4,300
Suter is the top VALUE play across the board today for any position. Consider these factors:
- Suter has 20 points in 20 games
- He has eight points in his past six games and averaging five FanDuel points per game in that stretch
- Winnipeg ranks last for number of times shorthanded per game, and have the 22nd ranked power play
- Suter plays heavy minutes for Minnesota, and especially on the power play
Utilize Suter (and his really low salary) tonight in any combination, in any game format.
Other D Value Plays: Dmitry Orlov, Jared Spurgeon, Tobias Enstrom, Noah Hanifin, Shayne Gostibehere
Worst Value: Mark Giordano, Calgary Flames, $6,700
Giordano has zero points and a -7 rating in his past nine games. Yet his salary is still this high and nearly the top for all defensemen. He is still getting top power play minutes but that hasn’t helped his scoring at all. Even in a game against Arizona, stay clear of Giordano.
