Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins

FanDuel Price: $7,500

Jay Ajayi is going to get volume -- so he's hard to sit in season-long leagues -- but his matchup at the Baltimore Ravens is about as brutal as it can get, making him a player to fade this weekend in DFS.

The fifth-most expensive back on FanDuel, Ajayi is going up against a Baltimore defense that is allowing the fewest points to running backs and ranks first against the run, per our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric. The Miami Dolphins have an implied total of just 18.5 points.

Miami's offensive line is returning to health, which is obviously a good thing, but with Ajayi priced as a top-five runner, he's very difficult to roster in this matchup. As an alternative, Jordan Howard, who is $100 cheaper, is in a much better spot with a home game against the miserable run defense of the San Francisco 49ers.
