Devin Singletary, Texans
Singletary carried the ball 30 times last Sunday vs. the Bengals, and ended up with 161 all-purpose yards. Dameon Pierce continues not to practice, and this matchup with the Cardinals is excellent as they have allowed the third-most DFS points to running backs this year. Arizona won’t be able to stack the box as they will be worried about the threat of Stroud in the passing game, and Singletary could easily have another big day.
Kareem Hunt, Browns
Yes, Jerome Ford looks like the lead back in this offense, but for this salary it’s worth a gamble on Hunt in case he keeps up his scoring streak. Hunt has now scored in five consecutive games for a total of six touchdowns across the last five. The Steelers have allowed the 10th-most DFS points to runners this year and an average of 111 rushing yards per game.
Rico Dowdle, Cowboys
This worked well for us last week, and we are going to try it again. The Panthers are arguably the best matchup this year for running backs, having allowed a league-leading 13 rushing touchdowns and an average of 118 rushing yards per game. Assuming Dallas gets out to a big lead, they could easily turn the game over to Dowdle in the fourth quarter. In addition, there’s no reason to think Dowdle might also see more carries and goal-line work earlier in the game as Tony Pollard has been struggling.
