FanDuel Price: $8,000
Projected Points: 18.0

With the Pittsburgh Steelers locked into the three seed in the AFC, Le'Veon Bell will have the day off in Week 17. That opens up a spot for a new face among our running back studs this week, and Devonta Freeman's team certainly has something to play for. With a win this week, the Atlanta Falcons can lock up a first-round bye, giving them plenty of motivation to come away with a victory in Week 17.

I already mentioned that the Falcons are expected to score the most points of any team this week, and Freeman is expected to be a big part of that. He has led the team with 30.80% of their opportunities this season and will be relied upon with Julio Jones still recovering from a toe injury.

Freeman has already racked up 19 or more FanDuel points in six games this season, including his first matchup against the Saints in Week 3. He reeled off a total of 207 yards and a touchdown for 29.2 FanDuel points in that game, and he looks primed for another big day in this one.

New Orleans is allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs this season, and the game script is in Freeman's favor as well. The Falcons will be at home, where Freeman is averaging 18.49 FanDuel points per game this season, and they are favored, which has meant an extra 1.27 FanDuel points per game for Freeman compared to when Atlanta has been an underdog this season.
