FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 8
Devonta Freeman, RB, Atlanta Falcons
FanDuel Prices: $6,900
Salary Change: Down $600
Last week, Atlanta Falcons’ running back Tevin Coleman injured his hamstring and played just 14 snaps. This Sunday, he'll be sidelined.
With Coleman out, Devonta Freeman will have the backfield all to himself. In the eight games last season where Tevin Coleman was out or limited, Freeman was the number-one running back on FanDuel with some eye-popping numbers:
Attempts | Rush Yds | YPA | Rush TDs | Rec | Rec Yds | Rec TDs |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
154 | 703 | 4.6 | 9 | 45 | 391 | 2 |
Freeman is projected to get 90 percent of the Falcons’ running back touches this week in a game with the highest Vegas total on the board (52). With his huge expected workload and inexplicable $600 price decrease, Freeman is a great play in all formats this weekend.
