Mike Davis, RB, San Francisco 49ers

FanDuel Price: $4,500

On the other side of that Buccaneers and 49ers game, Carlos Hyde is not going to play, meaning Mike Davis will be the starting running back on Sunday. Davis is available at FanDuel's minimum salary for running backs.

Chip Kelly is determined to establish the run -- game flow be darned -- as the 49ers have been the league's second-most run-heavy team (with a 1.00 pass-run ratio), despite being only 1-5 and spending lots of time playing from behind.

Volume is hugely important for running backs, and Davis has legitimate 20-carry upside (Hyde saw 20-plus carries in three of his five full games, and he was on pace to do it again before being injured in Week 6). That potential volume makes Davis very difficult to fade at the minimum salary, especially against a Tampa Bay team that has allowed the 10th most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.
