Geonimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Green Bay Packers

Allison Price: $5,700
Valdes-Scantling Price: $4,800

The Green Bay Packers' receiving corps is dealing with a boatload of injuries right now. Randall Cobb is still not practicing after sitting out last week's game, Geronimo Allison is in the concussion protocol, and Davante Adams is now nursing a calf injury.

With Cobb out and Adams in last week, Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both played over 70% of the team's offensive snaps.

If Allison plays and either Cobb or Adams sit, he's an outstanding value option. Even with both of those two playing, he topped 6 targets twice in the first three weeks of the season before blowing up for 11 targets in Week 4 (before exiting with an injury).

If any two (and especially if all three) of the team's top wideouts sit this week, then Valdes-Scantling comes into play while priced only $300 above the minimum. He was targeted just 3 times last week, but his high snap count was very promising, and he also notched a 13-yard average depth of target (aDOT), showing his potential to be used as a deep threat.

The Detroit Lions rank in the bottom-five against the pass by numberFire's metrics, making it even more appealing to grab cheap volume in a Packers' offense that boasts a 26.0-point implied total.
