Melvin Gordon, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

FanDuel Price: $8,900
Projected Points: 21.5

With 123 total yards and one touchdown in Week 9, Melvin Gordon posted his sixth game of the season with at least 100 yards or multiple touchdowns. He has only failed to record such a performance in one game so far this season.

And he will be in an excellent spot to put up another big outing in Week 10, as the Los Angeles Chargers have the third-highest implied total (30.00 points) of any team and are tied as the second-biggest favorite on the board, at -10.0 points. The underdog opponent in that matchup will be the struggling Oakland Raiders, who are giving up the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs this season.

Despite worries about the emergence of Austin Ekeler, Gordon's usage is extremely secure, as his 40.1% market share over the past three games is the third-highest mark in the league. That's actually an increase of 5.7% over his season average, showing off Gordon's high floor.

Of course, there are no concerns over his ceiling either, after he put up 34.0 FanDuel points just two weeks ago, which is also when the Raiders were allowing the Indianapolis Colts running backs to pile up more than 200 yards on the ground against them.
