Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers

DraftKings Price: $3,200

I'm not a Seattle Seahawks fan, but I am rooting for Eddie Lacy. The guy has worked his butt off, despite having to deal with nonstop fat-shaming comments over the past couple of seasons. This week he gets the starting nod in a game that should see a positive game script.

It would be foolhardy to plug Lacy into a fantasy lineup in a close, low-scoring affair, but the 'Hawks are favored by 7 and have an implied total of 26 against the Washington Redskins, third-most in Week 9. If Wilson and company are indeed able to build a solid lead through the passing game and intermittent running, then Lacy could be a big part of the time-wasting strategy late in the game.

Priced just a hair above minimum salary, Lacy does not need to do much to return value. He has not been anywhere close to returning value yet this season, this will be his best chance.
