7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 16
Taking over as the Packers' starting running back makes Jamaal Williams a top value this week.

Kalen Ballage, RB, Miami Dolphins

Price: $5,500

Another back getting a big boost in value thanks to a teammate's injury, Kalen Ballage will replace Frank Gore (foot) in the Miami Dolphins' backfield.

Kenyan Drake could be in for some increased run as well, but it sounds like head coach Adam Gase doesn't plan to increase Drake's workload too much, and that he's confident in getting Ballage more work.

Ballage only played 2 fewer snaps than Drake last week (53% to 49% edge for Drake), but he saw 12 carries and 1 target to only 1 carry and 3 targets for Drake. Drake hasn't had 12 carries in a game since Week 8.

The 'Phins have an ugly 21.5-point implied total, but once again volume is what we want at running back, and Ballage is a cheap way to get some serious volume.
