7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 17

Jalen Richard, RB, Oakland Raiders

Price: $4,800

Another mainstay of the column, Jalen Richard may not offer what you traditionally looking for in a running back (things like running with the football), but his role in the passing game makes a matchup with the Chiefs especially appealing.

Richard has seen fewer than four targets in a game only twice this season, and he's averaging 5.3 per game, with marks of 6 and 5 in the last two weeks. His rushing volume is up recently as well. He's averaging only 3.5 carries per game this year, but has more than four in each of his last four games, averaging 5.5 per game in that stretch.

I already outlined the big passing numbers KC has given up, and as huge 13.5-point underdogs, we can count on the Raiders going to the air a ton, opening up plenty of opportunities for Richard.
