Jalen Richard, RB, Oakland Raiders

Price: $5,300

With Marshawn Lynch serving a one-game suspension this week, there is plenty of work to go around in the Oakland Raiders' backfield. Lynch averaged 25.2 snaps, 11.7 carries and 1.7 targets per game through his first six outings before making an early exit in Week 7.

Jalen Richard (26) and DeAndre Washington (25) played nearly identical snaps after Lynch left that game, each tallying 9 carries and 4 targets. Both stand to see significantly increased roles this week, but Richard has the edge as a fantasy play, sitting $400 cheaper while also having a big advantage over Washington in fantasy efficiency this year. Richard has put up 33.4 FanDuel points per 100 snaps (tops among Raiders backs), compared to only 23.1 for Washington.

numberFire's models project Richard as the only running back or wide receiver priced below $6,500 to produce at least 2 fantasy points per $1,000 of salary this week.
