The best value plays in your DraftKings lineup for Week 7 of the NFL season

Our daily fantasy value picks last week came back with a mixed bag of results.
While our bets on the Raiders offense coming back to life appear to have been one week too early, we did have Adrian Peterson in his breakout debut with the Cardinals in our lineup, as well as Jermaine Kearse who would end up as the Jets' leading receiver against the Patriots.
This week, as always, we're back at it, trying to identify the best, affordable players for your DraftKings lineup. Everyone wants to load their teams with studs sure to light up the box score, but it's finding the undervalued players that allows you to max out your budget on the likes of Drew Brees and Antonio Brown this week.
Below we've picked some of our best value plays for daily fantasy this week. Consider them when trying to find a few extra dollars to upgrade elsewhere in your lineup.
QB: Tyrod Taylor, $5,100

Tyrod Taylor is a much more versatile offensive weapon than Palmer is, and can hurt the Buccos on the ground and in the air. If the Bills can get their offense going in this one and control the pace of play a bit, Taylor could be set up for a good day.
RB: Adrian Peterson, $5,800

This week, he's facing a Rams run defense that has not been as disruptive as advertised — one of the five worst defenses against the rush in the league — so I expect the Cardinals will continue to feed Peterson and get production.
RB: Chris Ivory, $4,800
Sam Greenwood/GettyLeonard Fournette did not practice for the Jaguars on Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Should he sit out, Ivory immediately becomes a valuable play at just $4,800.
