FanDuel Super Bowl picks and lineup advice: Running Back
When building your Super Bowl DFS lineup, there are realistically four running backs that you can consider playing. However, there is very little clarity in both of the backfields.

On the Buccaneers side, Leonard Fournette ($12,500) has been on a tear as of late, scoring a touchdown in each of the Bucs three playoff games. He also handles a majority of the passing work, with Ronald Jones ($8,000) yet to notch a catch in the playoffs. However, this has not been the tale for most of the season, with Fournette being a healthy scratch in multiple games during the regular season while Jones looked great handling the full load.
There is certainly value to be had on the Tampa Bayside, as Kansas City has struggled against the run all season. Of the two I prefer Jone, who is cheap enough to allow you to pay up for some of the top Chiefs players whereas Fournette leaves you with much less salary cap.
On the Chiefs side there are even more question marks which is not helped by the fact they are going up against one of the league’s best rush defenses. Clyde Edwards-Helaire ($10,000) returned from injury last week but only saw seven touches which he turned into a measly seven yards.
On the other hand, Darrel Williams ($9,000) has turned in two respectable games in the playoffs after doing almost nothing the whole season. With their relatively expensive price tags, I would much rather opt for a cheaper pass-catching option or even a kicker and fade the Chiefs running back position for the most part.
