7.8% Projected Ownership
Mixon is an excellent GPP option this week if you need some leverage away from the more popular RBs. I expect D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor, Kareem Hunt and Antonio Gibson to be some of the highest-owned RBs on the slate. With Mixon sitting right between their price points, if he hits he can provide a massive advantage.
Mixon’s workload combined with this matchup vs. a Lions defense allowing the 2nd most adjusted fantasy points to RBs and sitting bottom 5 rushing defense is a promising combination.
19.0% Projected Ownership
I’m going to keep playing D’Andre Swift until he’s priced as the top 8 RB he should be. The Bengals defense is currently allowing 51 targets to the RB position and the 6th most adjusted fantasy points overall to RBs.
Swift has posted a season-high in route rate and snaps in back-to-back weeks at over 70% in both categories with Jamaal Williams down around 15% routes and 30% snaps over the last 2 games.
8.0% Projected Ownership
Edmonds is always a player that intrigues me on the DraftKings full PPR platform. With Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley out for this game, Chuba Hubbard and Devontae Booker will likely receive most of the ownership in this price range. Edmonds is currently 4th among all RBs with 26 targets and should be in for a solid receiving stat line against a tough Browns run defense.
12.4% Projected Ownership
Some people will be deterred away from the Rams matchup, but they haven’t been the stud defense against the run they were last season, ranking 15th in rush defense DVOA and giving up the 12th most adjusted fantasy points to RBs.
Booker played 88% of the snaps and received 16 of 17 RB carries after Barkley exited last week.
Will be highly owned but worth considering: Austin Ekeler ($7,900) & Jonathan Taylor ($6,600)
