There is some good value to be had this week at running back. So without further ado let’s dive right in.

Chris Ivory – $5,200

For the first time since week 6, Ivory rushed for 100 yards last Sunday. This week he gets a prime time matchup against the Cowboys on Saturday night. The Cowboys defense comes into week 15 ranked 27th against the RB, and are allowing 113.8 yards per game on the ground. If you want some DFS action on Saturday night, like I do, then Ivory should be the running back play. If he reaches his season average of 16 fantasy points, he will provide a tick over three times his value.

Theo Riddick – $4,000

At only 4k, Riddick is worth a start based on his PPR value alone. Last week he hauled in 7 of his 11 targets and finished the day with 13.2 fantasy points. If you saw my stacks blog yesterday, you already know that I’m high on Detroit’s offense this week, having already recommended Stafford and Johnson. The Saints are ranked 31st against the RB and are dead last in points per game allowed, giving up almost 30. Over the past 3 weeks, Riddick has averaged 13 fantasy points per game. Just reaching his recent average will give you a return of 3.25 times his value.

Tim Hightower – $3,900

Hightower carried the ball 28 times last week. Although he split time with Spiller early in the game, he was trusted with most of the workload, and responded nicely. Let’s say he gets 20 touches this week. At $3,900 you almost have to start him based on the implied value. Last week he put up 16.5 points, or 5.5 times his value. Playing in the Saints offense, I can easily see him getting 4 times his value this week.
