Leonard Fournette, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

FanDuel Price: $8,100

DraftKings Price: $6,700

Shew, this game is going to be ugly. FanDuel Sportsbook has this one projected for just 37.0 total points, by far the lowest on the main slate, and the Jaguars have an ugly implied total of just 20.0 points.

Leonard Fournette has been force-fed the rock since his return from injury, averaging 29.5 touches over the last two weeks. While volume trumps efficiency at the running back position, it's fair to wonder if a lack of efficiency will cripple his production in this grueling, slow-paced affair. Fournette has only averaged 2.8 yards per carry since his return, and that number sits at just 3.0 yards per carry for the season.

Further complicating things for Fournette and this rushing attack is that the Bills have been pretty stout against the run to this point in 2018. Buffalo is eighth in rushing yards allowed per game and ninth in yards allowed per carry allowed, and they have given up one 100-yard rusher (Marlon Mack in Week 7) all year.

With other running backs in much better spots at a similar price point, Fournette makes for an easy fade this week. His upside is very limited, and despite the likelihood of 30 touches again, his floor is lower than it should be for an upper-tier rusher.
