Chris Ivory, RB, Buffalo Bills

Yahoo Ownership: 6%

So, you may have heard, a pretty big upset occurred in Minnesota this week.

A massive 16.5-point underdog in this contest, the Buffalo Bills went in and played like the overwhelming favorite, and Chris Ivory was a big part of that success. The veteran running back racked up 126 total yards in the absence of LeSean McCoy. While the running back wasn't particularly efficient, racking up a Rushing NEP per carry mark of -0.20 on 20 carries, the 23 total touches show that Ivory was certainly a big part of the offense. It may not have been the prettiest, but volume is the key in fantasy football.

If McCoy were to continue to miss time, Ivory makes for a fantastic Week 4 play, facing a Green Bay Packers run defense that ranked eighth-worst in our schedule-adjusted rushing metrics (0.09) heading into Week 3 and then got smoked by Adrian Peterson.
