7 FanDuel NFL Value Plays for Week 4

Sony Michel, RB, New England Patriots

Price: $5,900

It hasn't taken long for the Patriots to ramp up the workload for Sony Michel, who missed Week 1 with an injury he suffered in the offseason. He notched 10 carries and 2 targets in Week 2, then 14 carries and 3 targets in Week 3.

That Week 3 workload was good for 77.8% of the carries that the Patriots gave to their running backs. Rex Burkhead has landed on the injured reserve, and with James White doing most of his work in the passing game, Michel doesn't have any real competition for the lead back role.

Despite their contrasting starts to the year, the Patriots are 7.0-point favorites against Miami, suggesting that we should see them playing with a lead in this one, which would likely create a run-heavy game script.

That should mean a healthy dose of Michel, whose price tag is not nearly high enough to reflect the role he stands to play in this offense.
