It might be the final week of your fantasy football regular season but as you gear up for the playoffs, don't forget those DFS lineups. It will be the final bye week of the season as both the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders have the week off.

I am going to do my best to help you set those DFS lineups but giving you the best value play at each position. Who will bring you the most bang for your buck? That is one of the tricks in DFS play, the other is finding the right contrarian plays at the right time.

In order to help you save some money while also grabbing players that could have a big game this week, consider each of these players.

Quarterback: Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers (vs. Seattle, $6500)

Brock Purdy is currently the odds-on favorite to win the league MVP award but he is never going to be looked at as the best quarterback in the league. That includes DFS play.

Against Seattle, Dak Prescott had a huge game, throwing for 299 yards and three touchdowns. The Dallas Cowboys also posted 41 points in that game. After watching how efficient the San Francisco 49ers were last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, they are a team starting to click on all cylinders.

Purdy is in a groove and with a game in the comforts of Levi's Stadium, he should have a whale of a game against the Seahawks.

Zack Moss, Indianapolis Colts

Running Back: Zack Moss, Indianapolis Colts (at Cincinnati, $5900)

Fantasy players rushed to add Zack Moss in all formats last week after it was reported that Jonathan Taylor would be missing some time with a thumb injury. Moss was also going up against a Tennessee Titans team that he had rushed for 165 yards against earlier in the season.

This time, the Titans bottled him up, holding him to just 51 yards on 19 carries. That could cause many players to shy away from Moss this week but I would do the opposite and go right back to him.

The Bengals have not been good in stopping the run this season, ranking 27th in the league and giving up close to 134 yards per game on the ground. The Colts are going to be on the road in this one and a great way to take that Cincy jungle out of it will be to establish the run game.

There aren't many other players that are going to cut into Moss' workload. Last week, the only other player to get a carry other than Moss was tight end Kylen Granson.

Fire Moss up again this week.

Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

Wide Receiver: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets (vs. Houston, $5500)

It's not exciting to use Garrett Wilson in any format this season considering what the New York Jets have trotted out at the quarterback position, but even with the horrendous play from the likes of Zack Wilson Tim Boyle, he has still made plays.

He has had at least seven targets in all but one game this season and is more than capable of making huge plays every game, even if he has only scored three touchdowns this season.

This week at home against the Houston Texans, Wilson will be getting Zack Wilson back at quarterback. Though he has been really bad in his starts this year, he is an upgrade over Boyle and he knows how to look for his No. 1 target down the field.

For $5500, Garrett Wilson is easily worth the roll of the dice this week.

Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens

Tight End: Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens (vs. L.A. Rams, $3500)

With Mark Andrews down for the season for the Ravens, many are forgetting the team's other tight end, Isaiah Likely. That's easy to do when he has caught only 13 passes on the season.

Lamar Jackson certainly doesn't have the kind of connection with Likely that he does with Andrews, but it is one that is growing. Likely was targeted six times in the Ravens' last game against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching four passes for 40 yards. This week, he has a great matchup.

Only three teams in the league have given up more fantasy points to the tight end position than the Los Angeles Rams, so the matchup is there. When you throw in the fact that you can get Likely for a measly $3500, it's worth a shot.

Travis Kelce is going to cost more than twice that and truthfully, Likely could post similar or even better numbers this week.

Cleveland Browns

Defense/Special Teams: Cleveland Browns (vs. Jacksonville, $3000)

The Cleveland Browns are still licking their wounds after a loss to the Rams last week, but they return home against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that played on Monday night and lost Christian Kirk and Trevor Lawrence to injuries.

The Browns still have the league's top defense and this seems like it could be a good matchup, particularly if Lawrence is not able to take the field with his high ankle sprain (he is listed as questionable).

If the Browns get the Jags with C.J. Beathard, this is a slam dunk for $3000. Even if not, it's a game in Cleveland and though the Jaguars are a potent offense, the loss of Kirk could be damaging.

Take the Browns this week.
