David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $8,700

Projected Points: 19.0

David Johnson already holds two of the top six FanDuel scores by a running back this season, and DJ has averaged more points per game than any other non-quarterback to play in two or more games. In fact, only five quarterbacks are averaging more FanDuel points per game than Johnson.

He has over total 110 yards in every single game, including 171 total yards in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, who had previously allowed just two opposing running backs all season to top 80 yards.

With 38.93% of his team's opportunities, Johnson ranks behind only DeMarco Murray. He has also seen 4.9 red zone opportunities this season, which trails only Melvin Gordon among all running backs.

Johnson has averaged 36 combined carries and targets over the past three weeks, and he will be attacking a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed over 120 total yards to each of the two running backs who have received 20 or more touches against them this season.
