Chris Ivory ($6,400)

Chris Ivory will be the workhorse in New York, especially early in the season. Stevan Ridley is still on the sidelines with an injury, and Zac Stacy isn't a huge threat -- his -0.18 Rushing NEP per carry ranked 69th among the 73 backs with 50-plus carries in 2014.

Ivory will also have a favorable matchup this weekend. The Browns ranked 20th in fantasy points allowed to running backs last year, and their schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play of -0.03 ranked 25th. Despite being only the 37th most expensive running back on FanDuel, our projections have Ivory finishing 11th in running back scoring for Week 1.

This could be a breakout season for Ivory, and a matchup with the Browns is as good a place for it to start as any.
