7 NFL FanDuel Bargains for Week 10

Orleans Darkwa, RB, New York Giants

Price: $5,300

The usually anemic New York Giants offense gains a ton of fantasy appeal against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Niners rank 27th in Adjusted Defensive NEP per play, including 22nd against the run. The 27.5 FanDuel points per game they have allowed to running backs is also the highest in the NFL by a big margin, with no other team allowing even 25.0.

Orleans Darkwa appears locked into the Giants' top running back role, with his 47% snap share in Week 9 and 50% in Week 6 sitting as the two highest marks for any Giants' back since Week 3. He also has games of 21 and 16 carries in two of his last three, with the down game in the middle having come partially as a result of a pass-heavy game flow in an 18-point loss.

Darkwa has accounted for 64% of the carries in the Giants' backfield over the past three weeks. Sitting as favorites against the San Francisco in Week 10, the G-Men are unlikely to be forced into the kind of pass-heavy approach that would raise question marks about his volume.
