Elijah McGuire, RB, New York Jets

Price: $5,700

There's big running back value on the other side of the Packers' matchup with the New York Jets too.

Our models have the Packers ranked only 18th against the run and 26th against the pass, and the Jets' 21.5-point implied total is the third-highest mark for an underdog this week.

More important than matchup, though, is the volume that Elijah McGuire is seeing with Isaiah Crowell out.

McGuire is getting plenty of passing game involvement, with 4 targets in each of the last two games, and he's also notched 17 and 18 carries in that stretch. Like we're hoping for from Williams, that's a workhorse-type volume, averaging 21.5 opportunities per game.

Crowell is on the injured reserve, so it should be the Elijah McGuire show again this week.
