David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $9,800
Projected Points: 25.8

After five straight weeks with more than 24 FanDuel points, David Johnson finally came crashing down to earth -- by his standards -- with 14.6 FanDuel points in Week 14.

The disappointing week was largely due to Johnson failing to find the end zone, as he still topped 120 total yards for the fourth straight week and 10th time this season. He also caught five passes in the game, extending his streak to seven straight games with at least five receptions.

This week, the Arizona Cardinals are tied for the fourth-highest implied total (26.5 points) of any team. Their offense runs through Johnson, whose 41.03% market share of his team's opportunities is tops in the league.

He even leads the team with an average of one red zone target per game, and DJ ranks 11th among all NFL players with 20.31% of his team's red zone targets. Johnson is the only running back among the top 25 players in that category, and he leads all players with an average of 3.3 red zone carries per game.

As if he needs any help, Johnson will be up against the New Orleans Saints, who are allowing the ninth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs this season, making him one of the safest plays of the week.
