Melvin Gordon, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

FanDuel Price: $8,400
Projected Points: 19.4

Outside of Week 4 when he got just 11 touches while battling a knee injury, Melvin Gordon has topped 13 FanDuel points in each game. He scored 5 touchdowns in those four games, and just had his best game of the season, with 163 total yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 5.

Now he gets to take on the Oakland Raiders, who have given up over 120 rushing yards in each of their past two games. They are also giving up the seventh-most receiving yards per game to opposing running backs, which bodes well for Gordon, who has already topped 50 receiving yards twice this season. Our models project him to lead all running backs in Week 6 with 46.17 receiving yards.

With a heavy workload expected and a soft matchup, Gordon will be well worth paying up for in Week 6.
