Danny Woodhead ($6,000)

A blind look at stats doesn't work too well when you've already read the title of the slide and seen the picture, but let's play anyway:

The running back with the third-most points through eight weeks has also been solid according to our metrics. He ranks 20th among the 66 backs with at least 25 carries with a 0.02 Rushing NEP per carry. He leads all running backs in Reception NEP and is first among backs with at least 25 targets in Reception NEP per target. After an injury to the team's most-targeted player, he leads all active players on the team with 50 targets on the season.

He draws a favorable matchup this week against a team struggling to defend the pass, ranking 30th with a 0.26 Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, and aren't much better against the run, where they also rank 30th. His team is projected to score the third-most points of the week at 26.5. How high do you expect his salary to be?

I'm well aware that I've become a broken record when it comes to Danny Woodhead, but he is still somehow flying under the radar and coming in with a cheap price-tag.
