DeAngelo Williams, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Price: $8,800
Projected Points: 16.10

With Le'Veon Bell suspended, DeAngelo Williams has seen 51.43% of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opportunities. That’s more than any other player in the NFL.

He also leads the league in carries and rushing yards and is only 3.9 fantasy points shy of leading the league. Only Cam Newton and Matt Ryan have more than Williams’ 48.3 fantasy points this season.

A quick glance at his opponent this week, the Philadelphia Eagles, shows that they haven’t allowed any running back this season to eclipse 65 yards rushing. But a deeper look reveals that none of those running backs have had more than 12 carries.

The Steelers have the fifth-highest implied total (25.50 points) and are favored by 5 points, which bodes well for Williams to out-touch and out-perform all of the running backs who the Eagles have faced thus far.
