If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired numberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 16: Running backs
You almost have to play David Johnson this week. Who else should fantasy owners look at for FanDuel?
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
Here are the fantasy projections for Week 16:
Top tier
David Johnson is almost a must-play guy. He’s just $7,300 and is projected as the top projected back. Even with his sky-high ownership, the Green Bay Packers stop the pass well and aren’t great against the run. The big dogs also look good with Adrian Peterson, Doug Martin and Devonta Freeman as options.
Bargains
This is probably a good week to avoid spending heavy on backs. Besides Johnson, Karlos Williams is a nice play with LeSean McCoy out, Denard Robinson will get a ton of work and Frank Gore is worth a look, too.
Elite players with subpar matchups
Todd Gurley isn’t in play this week against the Seattle Seahawks and again this is probably a good week to avoid the studs.
