FanDuel DFS NFL Week 7 picks and lineup advice: Running Back

With ten rushing touchdowns and over one hundred rushing yards in every game since Week 1, Derrick Henry ($11000) is rightfully the most expensive player on the slate. While you have to play a few lineups with Henry in it to avoid getting completely buried, I do think I will be underweight on Henry simply due to the game script that I predict in the Chiefs vs Titans game. I do think we could see a big Aaron Jones ($8500) week against a pitiful Washington defense. It is slightly concerning that he is ceeding double digit touches every week to AJ Dillon, but his talent and efficiency should take over in this plus matchup.

The fact that Cordarrelle Patterson ($8000) and Chubba Hubbard ($7300) are the third and fifth most expensive running backs on the slate say a lot about the quality of backs this week, but there are still plenty of intriguing names at a cheaper price point. D’Andre Swift ($7100) continues to get it done in the passing game despite only averaging 35 rushing yards per game. Double digit targets feels like a real possibility in a game that has Detroit as sixteen point underdogs.

If you are looking for an even cheaper option, Miles Sanders ($5900) is way too cheap for the potential he has, but has yet to find the end zone on the season. I am willing to put my faith in him against an average Raiders defense with the worst case being he puts up solid FLEX numbers.
