DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football: Week 15 Punt Plays

Chris Johnson, RB, New York Jets

Chris Johnson ($3,900) takes a stroll down narrative street this week, going against his old team in the Tennessee Titans. While our metrics much prefer Chris Ivory in terms of Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP), Johnson is the more explosive (if you can call it that) back who is likely to break out a long run against a putrid Titans rushing defense that gives up the third most fantasy points to running backs.

It's no secret that the Jets like to run the ball quite a bit. They ran it a whopping 49 times against the Miami Dolphins and then 42 times last week against the Minnesota Vikings. Couple that with the Titans run defense, which ranks 29th according to our power rankings, and it won't be difficult to imagine what the Jets will try and do on Sunday.

Johnson is actually the back who has seen a significant uptick in carries as of late, rushing 17 times against the Dolphins and 16 times against the Vikings. He and Ivory are essentially splitting carries at this point, and either (or both) could be in line for a big game.

Either way, it's probably a good idea to fire up one of them on Sunday. Johnson is the cheaper option - $3,900 - and while Ivory isn't considered a "punt" play, he checks in at just $4,200.
