With DeAngelo Williams officially out of this weekend's game, Todd Haley has said that Fitzgerald Toussaint is "the guy" this week. Toussaint was on the field for 33 of the 35 snaps that Williams missed last week, recording 12 carries.
A backup stepping into a starting role always creates some value in daily fantasy, but Toussaint has the added bonus of being in the most favorable spot for running backs this week as well.
The Bengals rank 16th in rush defense, per our metrics, which isn't usually super exciting, but in a week with four top-10 run defenses in action, that's a fairly favorable matchup. They are also giving up the second most fantasy points to opposing running backs among the teams playing this week (18th overall).
Vegas gives Pittsburgh the highest implied total of the week at 24.25, and as a 3-point favorite, Toussaint also has a good chance at having game flow work in his favor, giving him a big workload.
