RUNNING BACK

C.J. Anderson ($7800) Colts @ Broncos – Like I said in the intro with C.J., I think the Broncos are going to rely on him heavily this season and he should have a monster year. Following his solid week 1 performance, he did get a pretty decent boost in price but still is only the fifth priced running back this week. As you saw in the game last week with the Lions, the Colts really struggled defending the run and also defending backs in the short passing game. Anderson score one of his TD’s receiving last week and added nearly 50 yards through the air. He looks like an extremely safe option this week while at the same time having big upside.

DeAngelo Williams ($7600) Steelers vs. Bengals – Something interesting that we can take advantage of is that FanDuel sets their pricing for the upcoming week’s games on Monday, prior to that evening’s MNF game. As you all know, Williams went crazy on Monday night and didn’t receive much of a boost in price since the pricing was already set. He comes into this week as the 7th highest priced RB in a great matchup with the Bengals, who just gave up over 130 yards on the ground in week 1. Williams usage will continue to be through the roof until LeVeon Bell returns as the Steelers don’t have any other RB’s in the mix. His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield just further cements his value in DFS.

T.J. Yeldon ($6500) Jaguars @ Chargers – As long as Chris Ivory remains out of the picture, fire up Yeldon at this price tag. He wasn’t able to generate much in week 1 against the Packers gaining only 39 yards. Don’t let that scare you however as he still received 21 carries and also caught 4 passes while also scoring a TD. The Jaguars will likely play many of their games this season from behind, which just increases Yeldon’s usage as a receiver. We all saw what Spencer Ware did last week against these Chargers, I see a similar game flow working into Yeldon’s favor this weekend.

Others I Like – Jeremy Langford ($6500), LeGarrette Blount ($6000), Rashad Jennings ($6300)
