The best value plays in your DraftKings lineup for Week 9 of the NFL season

DEF: San Francisco 49ers, $3,200

DEF: San Francisco 49ers, $3,200

There's not a lot of great value plays on defense this week, so if you have the cash, splurge on the Jaguars. That said, the 49ers defense has proven that it can show up for games, and against Drew Stanton at home might be their best chance yet to make a statement.

TE: Jack Doyle, $4,300

TE: Jack Doyle, $4,300

Jack Doyle was the Colts top receiver last week, with 12 catches, 121 yards, and a touchdown. Facing off against a Texans team that gives the fifth most points up to tight ends in the league, he's a good play this week as well.

WR: Ted Ginn Jr., $5,000

WR: Ted Ginn Jr., $5,000

The Buccaneers secondary has not been all that impressive this season, and Ted Ginn Jr. is just the type of deep threat that's capable of burning them for a deep touchdown or two.

WR: Sterling Shepard, $5,200

WR: Sterling Shepard, $5,200

Sterling Shepard is going to be making his first appearance back with the Giants since going down with an injury back in Week 5. Coming off their bye, I expect the Giants offense to have a bit of pep in their step, and chances are they'll look to get Shepard involved in the gameplan early and often.

WR: Devin Funchess, $5,400

WR: Devin Funchess, $5,400

With Kelvin Benjamin traded to Buffalo, Devin Funchess is now the top wide receiver in the Panthers offense. While Cam and company have had their struggles this year, football fans know what that offense can look like when it's humming, and Funchess is simply undervalued here considering his new position.

RB: Alex Collins, $4,600

RB: Alex Collins, $4,600

Last week Alex Collins ran for 113 yards as the Ravens routed the Miami Dolphins. Collins has the type of speed that is hard to believe with your own two eyes, and has always looks like he's about to break out for a long touchdown.

RB: Derrick Henry, $5,000

RB: Derrick Henry, $5,000

Derrick Henry has been feast or famine this year for fantasy owners, but at home against a Ravens team that sports the third worst rushing defense in the league he'll have the chance to put together a solid performance. If he can get the touches, he'll be a good addition to your lineup.

QB: Carson Wentz, $6,100

QB: Carson Wentz, $6,100

At $6,100, Carson Wentz isn't as great a value as is normally included in this column, but getting an MVP candidate and NFC player of the month at the eighth most expensive quarterback feels like a steal and will still save you an extra $1,000 compared to the top QBs on the board. Wentz is at home facing a Denver defense playing its third straight road game, so there's potential for a breakout game.
