Ameer Abdullah, RB, Detroit Lions

FanDuel Price: $6,300

DraftKings Price: $4,500

Normally, it's wheels-up when we have an affordable lead back for a heavily-favored home team. The Lions have a strong 27.25 implied team total, and are favored by a 11.0 points over the winless Cleveland Browns.

However, despite seeing 61.6% of the team carries, and averaging 17.1 touches a game, Ameer Abdullah has rarely shown upside this season, hitting double-digit fantasy points just once in the last four games on both sites. He fumbled the ball at the goal line twice against the Packers, and has a poor 30.3% success rate as a runner this season.

And for all of the Browns' struggles this season, they're actually rather stout against the run, ranking 2nd against the run by numberFire's metrics. You're better off tapping into the Lions passing game to take advantage of this spot, where the Browns rank just 29th against the pass.
