Jordan Howard – Chicago Bears – $6,200

Jordan Howard had a rough Week 4 against a stout Tampa Bay defense that currently ranks fourth against the rush. Howard has a wonderful opportunity in Week 6 after the bye to get back on track against a Miami Dolphins defense that ranks 20th against the rush.

In Week 4, Howard managed 24 total yards against Tampa Bay. There’s many reasons to be excited about his opponent this Sunday. Through four games played Howard has amassed 203 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown on 64 carries, adding 78 receiving yards on 10 receptions.

So far, the Dolphins have allowed 382.6 total yards, 273.6 passing yards, 109 rushing yards and 23.4 total points per game. This is the perfect matchup for Howard to have a bounce-back performance.

Howard has averaged 50.75 rushing yards, 16 carries and 19.5 receiving yards per game. With how this Bears offense is clicking Howard is due for a few breakout games. This Sunday has the recipe for success for him and the entire Bears offense.

The Bears and Howard will benefit from this matchup. The Bears second-ranked defense will help provide Howard with clock-churning runs in garbage time. Howard is a must-play for this weeks value running back.

Prediction: 150 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns
