Week 3 NFL FanDuel Salary Movers

Phillip Lindsay, RB, Denver Broncos

Week 2 Salary: $4,900

Week 3 Salary: $6,400

Coming off a week in which he ran for 107 on just 14 carries, undrafted running back Phillip Lindsay is starting to get the recognition he deserves. His FanDuel salary jumped $1,500 from Week 2, making him the biggest salary gainer out of all players on the Sunday slate.

Entering Week 3, Lindsay was third in the league in rushing, and his 6.1 yards per carry ranked second to only Matt Breida out of players who have at least 20 carries this season.

The Denver Broncos backfield was first supposed to be Royce Freeman's. Lindsay turned that into a committee approach in Week 1, and he seemed to take control of the job in last week's game. Freeman saw just 8 touches compared to Lindsay's 15 in their win over the Oakland Raiders. Lindsay was on the field for 42% of the Broncos' offensive snaps, well above Freeman's 24%, which happened to be lower than teammate Devontae Booker.

He'll have a difficult test this week, however. The Baltimore Ravens are giving up just 10.7 Fanduel points per game to opposing backs, making them the second best fantasy defense against the run.

We currently have Lindsay projected to score 9.6 FanDuel points this week.
