Le'Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Price: $9,400
Projected Points: 19.2

Another week, another big game for Le'Veon Bell, who has now topped 20 touches and 90 total yards in six straight games. He is one of just two running backs this season to see more than 80 percent of their team's carries, and his 46.78 percent market share is 4.93 percent higher than the next-closest running back. Over the past three weeks, he has actually seen just shy of 50 percent of the Pittsburgh Steelers total opportunities.

Our models expect that heavy usage to continue, projecting him to lead all running backs in rushing attempts in Week 8. He will be attacking the Detroit Lions, who are giving up the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing RB1s this season. And the Lions have only faced one running back with 25 or more touches, which Bell has done in each of his past four games.

There may come a day to fade Bell, but it's certainly not this Sunday, as his heavy usage and plus matchup have him projected as our top overall running back in Week 8.
