David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals

FanDuel Price: $8,700
Projected Points: 23.2

Johnson is currently tied for the 32nd-most receiving yards of any player in the NFL this season. In fact, eight teams do not have a single receiver with more receiving yards than Johnson's 800.

Solid numbers for a wide receiver, right? Yeah, but Johnson is a running back.

He has added another 1,138 yards rushing this season with 17 total touchdowns from scrimmage. His 330.30 fantasy points are more than any other player in the league, including quarterbacks.

So he is the type of player good enough to make us ignore that he is playing against the Seattle Seahawks, who are giving up the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs this season. Johnson put up 21.1 FanDuel points in his first meeting with Seattle earlier this year despite not finding the end zone in that game.

Don't let the Seahawks name scare you away from playing this season's top overall FanDuel scorer.
