7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 9
Courtland Sutton offers huge value with Demaryius Thomas gone from Denver. Which other cheap players could go off?

Devontae Booker, RB, Denver Broncos

Price: $4,900

Devontae Booker is another back who stands to see plenty of passing game volume this week. Even though he has fewer carries than stablemates Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, he leads the group in targets with 25.

Freeman is also still not practicing, and with Freeman sidelined in Week 8, Booker played a season-high 44% of the team's offensive snaps, not far behind the 56% Lindsay played.

The Houston Texans are not an easy team to run on, ranking second in run defense by our metrics, but they rank only 25th against the pass. The Denver Broncos would be wise to go to the air often in this game, and a pass-heavy game plan would likely give Booker plenty of work. That makes him easy to like at only $400 above the minimum salary for running backs.
