Rod Smith, RB, Dallas Cowboys

Yahoo! Ownership: 21%

Rod Smith is coming off a career-day, during which he took 11 touches for 160 yards and 2 touchdowns versus the New York Giants. While an 81-yard touchdown run boosted the monstrous game, Smith averaged 7.9 yards on his other 10 touches.

The Dallas Cowboys' running back has been quite productive the last three weeks. He has seen double-digit touches in each game, scoring 4 times, while seeing the field for nearly half of the snaps (48.3%).

In Week 15, the Cowboys will likely lean on the running game once again, as they are 3.0-point road favorites over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday night.

The Raiders have allowed 128.9 rushing yards per game in their 7 losses, including more than 165 yards and 2 touchdowns to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Overall, the Silver and Black's defense has been their biggest weakness, ranking as the second-worst unit in the NFL, per our metrics.
