The 5 Craziest Upside Values in FFPC $350 Redraft Contests: No. 2 – Why Risk Brandon Aiyuk When You Get an Incredible Price on This Breakout Star

Shawn Siegele brings you his five favorite upside values in the FFPC FantasyPros contest. At No. 2 we find a young receiving star who gives you Brandon Aiyuk’s upside but at a discount and without the drama.

Right now there’s no question about your best chance to win $1 million in fantasy football this season. It’s the FFPC $350 FantasyPros contest.

Blair Andrews has been getting you ready for the contest with his 10 Best Value Picks in FantasyPros Contests and a look at the 6 Elite WRs and 6 Lottery Tickets to Help You Build a Juggernaut.

I’m profiling my five favorite FantasyPros selections as I get ready for Friday’s draft marathon with Ben Gretch — a special episode of Stealing Bananas on the Stealing Signals YouTube channel.

I tweaked the title of the series today to better reflect my goal. These five players are high-volatility options with some meaningful red flags but immense upside that’s not fully baked into price . . . especially within the context of how we would use them in our preferred redraft constructions. The options in this series are not for the faint of heart, but they’re disproportionately likely to turn up on the eventual $1 million roster.

No. 5 – We Love Jalen Tolbert, But This Late-Round WR Has Even More Upside
No. 4 – This Unfashionable, Young TE Star Is Headed for a Secondary Breakout
No. 3 – This Vertical Option Gives you George Pickens’ Upside at a Fraction of the Cost
