RUNNING BACK

David Johnson ($9400) Cardinals vs. 49ers – If you start digging around the internet and reading any daily fantasy articles for this week, you will see David Johnson as the top play in nearly every single one of them. Does that mean I need to go a different route and try to tell you to stay away from Johnson when he so clearly has the absolute best possible match up? I can’t really do it as I think its a pretty safe bet that Johnson goes absolutely nuts this week and is a not a guy you should fade. Like I mentioned earlier, the 49ers are giving up nearly 200 yards a game on the ground. Johnson should run all over them this week and also is such a dynamic running back, having added 35 receptions already this season. I really just don’t think you can miss with this one, use him this week.

Melvin Gordon ($8300) Chargers vs. Dolphins – A stat that has quietly been lost in the shuffle this season has been the rushing defense of the Miami Dolphins, who I only could assume had a strong front line. They are currently 30th in football against the run this season, a number that I certainly did not expect. Gordon obviously is coming off the best game of his entire career, which typically would be a let down spot. However, Gordon has only gotten better each and every week this season and has pretty much been able to find the end zone in every game but one. With the Dolphins struggling against the run, and Gordon really surging at this point in the season, this sets up for another really big game from Gordon. I am not going to predict another 34 point day like last week, but I like him to get 20.

Lamar Miller ($7500) Texans @ Jaguars – Miller was a guy that was supposed to be given a heavy workload on his new team this season in Houston. The carries haven’t exactly been there but that has partially been due to Miller battling a number of injuries. Coming off the bye week, I expect Miller to be fresh and ready to carry the ball over 20 times against a Jaguars defense that has completely fallen apart. The coaching staff came out this week stating they still view Miller as their “workhorse” running back and I expect the extra week off to do wonders for him this week. Nobody is talking about him which makes him a nice sneaky play this weekend.

Others I Like – Darren Sproles ($5100), Jay Ajayi ($7800), Jordan Howard ($6900)

Next: Wide Receiver
