8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 10
David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $9,400
Projected Points: 23.3
It doesn't get much easier than this. Let's take a look at how each running back with 10 or more touches has fared this season against the San Francisco 49ers, who are allowing the most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs.
Week | Player | FanDuel Points | RB Rank |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Todd Gurley | 4.7 | 47th |
2 | Fozzy Whittaker | 12.6 | 17th |
3 | Christine Michael | 24.1 | 6th |
4 | Ezekiel Elliott | 22.2 | 4th |
5 | David Johnson | 32.0 | 1st |
6 | LeSean McCoy | 33.2 | 2nd |
7 | Jacquizz Rodgers | 16.8 | 11th |
7 | Peyton Barber | 14.4 | 15th |
9 | Mark Ingram | 30.1 | 3rd |
9 | Tim Hightower | 16.7 | 8th |
That's not an illusion. San Francisco has allowed four top-15 running backs over the last two weeks alone and seven top-12 running backs in nine games. Week 1 is the only game this season in which they failed to allow a 100-yard rusher.
Now enter David Johnson, who leads all running backs in FanDuel points per game and led all players in FanDuel scoring in Week 5 during his first matchup with the 49ers. We can expect a similar storyline in this game considering the Arizona Cardinals have the highest implied total (30.75 points) on the board, and are favored by a whopping 13.5 points.
