Jamaal Williams, RB, Green Bay Packers

Price: $5,800

One of the easiest values on the slate, Jamaal Williams will reclaim the top-dog role in the Green Bay Packers' backfield with Aaron Jones placed on the injured reserve.

With Jones suspended in Weeks 1 and 2, Williams played 62% and 61% of the Packers' offensive snaps. That was when Ty Montgomery (38% and 34%) was still in town as well, and now that he's a Baltimore Raven, it would be no surprise if Williams' snap share climbed into the 70% or 80% range. Since Week 11, the Packers haven't played any back other than Williams and Jones for more than 6% of the snaps in a game. With Jones, Williams and Montgomery all around from Weeks 3 to 8, Montgomery cut into 29% of the team's snaps.

So, that means Williams is positioned to be a workhorse for a team with a reasonable 24.5-point implied total this week. With a price tag below $6,000, that's always going to be a highly appealing spot.
