To assemble the best daily fantasy football lineup possible, you're going to need the right value picks. Even if you think a "cheap" player may be past sleeper status and highly owned — like, say, Colts WR Donte Moncrief with T.Y. Hilton out — you can still add him and worry about differentiation when buying a star with the leftover cash you've saved.
Regardless of where you like to save and spend your DFS money, we've found the best daily fantasy football values at each position on FanDuel and DraftKings for NFL Week 2. Feel free to use these value picks in your FanDuel lineup for the Week 2 Sporting News Football Championship qualifier.
DAILY FANTASY FOOTBALL: FanDuel tourney lineup | $1 million FanDuel strategy | NFL DFS Playbook
Best daily fantasy QB value picks
FanDuel: Sam Bradford, Eagles vs. Cowboys ($7,500). Looked much better in the second half Monday night. Tremendous upside every week with a high floor and nice price.
DraftKings: Carson Palmer, Cardinals at Bears ($6,700). Should throw often considering questionable running attack and plus matchup. Any extra production from Michael Floyd is a bonus.

Best daily fantasy RB value picks
FanDuel: Ameer Abdullah, Lions at Vikings ($4,500). If the Vikings thought Carlos Hyde was quick, wait until they see Abdullah. Will remain active in the pass game for reception points.
DraftKings: Chris Ivory, Jets at Colts ($4,700). Ivory is priced among timeshare RBs despite dominating the Jets backfield and red-zone carries.

Best daily fantasy WR value picks
FanDuel: James Jones, Packers vs. Seahawks ($5,400). We're thinking Richard Sherman should be spending most of his afternoon covering either Randall Cobb or Davante Adams, leaving Jones in more favorable matchups. Regardless, you know he's going to be involved around the red zone.
DraftKings: Donte Moncrief, Colts vs. Jets ($4,600). Not only will Moncrief benefit from T.Y. Hilton's absence, he should see even more targets if Darrelle Revis is covering Andre Johnson, as expected.

Best daily fantasy TE value picks
FanDuel: Jordan Reed, Redskins vs. Rams ($5,000). Reed will have more targets and a higher TD potential (he scored in Week 1) with DeSean Jackson sidelined.
DraftKings: Ladarius Green, Chargers at Bengals ($3,500). Green's price hasn't increased much after his eye-opening Week 1. Philip Rivers seems to be gaining confidence in his athletic tight end, who looks much more comfortable this year.
