Howard needs a positive game script to perform well since he isn't utilized in the passing game. Recent stats and the current line indicate he may have his touches limited.
Another negative is Howard's high price tag on FanDuel. He is priced at $7,000, which ranks 10th among running backs. He's not a recommended play for any format.
