Christine Michael, RB, Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $7,000

Remember when the Christine Michael truthers were right? That was cute.

After a hot start to the year, the Seattle Seahawks' backfield was Michael's to lose. Well, he lost it, and it didn't even take the return of Thomas Rawls for it to happen. C.J. Prosise played 55% of the snaps in Week 9, compared to just 38% for Michael -- and that was in a game where the Seahawks had a fairly positive game script in the second half (up 11 in the third quarter).

This week, Seattle is a 7.5-point underdog for their road game against the New England Patriots. If Michael struggled to get on the field last week, it's hard to imagine he'll see significant snaps this week.

In fact, Prosise, who has an appealing $4,700 salary, is a much better play than Michael in a game where Seattle should be throwing quite a bit.
