Week 17 FanDuel Tournament Pivots

Running Back

Chalk:

David Johnson and Devonta Freeman figure to be the chalk at the top end at running back this week, while Jacquizz Rodgers is going to be a popular mid-range option.

Pivots:

LeGarrette Blount, $7,600 (at Miami Dolphins): LeGarrette Blount scored his league-leading 17th rushing touchdown of the season last week and will look to add to that total this week against the Miami Dolphins. The New England Patriots play at 1:00 PM, so this game remains a must-win for them if they hope to maintain hold over the number-one seed. Vegas doesn't see them holding off in this one, projecting them for the second-highest total on the slate (26.75 points) and listing them as nine-point favorites over the Dolphins. Miami ranks seventh-worst in schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play and allowed Blount to rush for 123 yards and a score in their previous meeting.

Mark Ingram, $6,100 (at Atlanta Falcons): Mark Ingram finally took a stranglehold of the number-one job for the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, out-snapping Tim Hightower 48-to-15. He turned the extra playing time into one of his most productive games of the season, rushing for 90 yards and a pair of scores on 18 attempts. This week, he'll face an Atlanta Falcons defense allowing the eighth-most yards per attempt (4.4) and ninth-most FanDuel points per game to running backs. Ingram totaled 107 yards and a touchdown the last time he faced the Falcons, and he could definitely put up a similar stat line in this one.
