Jeremy Hll ($6,500 on FanDuel)

There are lots of people talking about Tyler Eifert's absence being a good thing for Jeremy Hill. And that may be true, but Week 1 isn't the week to test that theory.

Hill's Week 1 opponent, the New York Jets, allowed only two -- yes that says two -- rushing touchdowns to running backs last season, the lowest total in the NFL. The Jets yielded just 1,031 rushing yards in 2015, also the lowest total in the NFL. Running backs averaged 16.3 FanDuel points per game against the Jets last year, the second-lowest total in the NFL.

The Cincinnati Bengals are projected by Vegas to score the 11th-fewest points in Week 1, too.

We have Hill projected to score just 8.3 FanDuel points this weekend, which places him behind 33 other running backs on the slate.
