Smith is a better value this week on Draftkings where he takes up 1.1% less of the cap space and is the ninth highest priced quarterback as opposed to the seventh highest on Fanduel.
Patrick Mahomes: FD $9.2k, 15.3% // DK $8.4k, 16.8% // Value on Fanduel
Mahomes takes up 1.3% less of the cap space on Fanduel versus Draftkings. He’s only priced $100 below Josh Allen on Draftkings but $300 below Allen on Fanduel. Mahomes only has three games this season scoring less than 20 Fanduel points and only four games without having multiple touchdowns.
