Phillip Lindsay, Denver Broncos, $7,000

Stats: 780 rushing yards, 6 touchdowns, 187 receiving yards, 1 touchdown

Phillip Lindsay has been nothing short of amazing in his rookie season. This is straight out of a movie or video game. Hometown kid goes undrafted and makes a huge difference for his hometown team. Are we in Madden right now? Lindsay is averaging 12 carries and 70 rushing yards per game in a committee backfield this season.

He has made the most of his opportunities this year and has a 5.8 yards per carry average. Lindsay in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown. He has the best matchup for Week 13 against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that is ranked dead last in the league and he comes at a very cheap price for this matchup and one we need to take advantage of.

Lindsay comes into Week 13 as the 11th-most expensive running back. Which is an outstanding value when you look at this matchup. The Bengals allow 440 total yards, 292 passing yards, 147 rushing yards and 31 points per game to opposing offenses this season. Which puts them at dead last in the NFL. Lindsay should hit the ground running on all cylinders and rush for another 100 yards.

If you like value and a great matchup place Lindsay in your lineups. Whether it be as a flex or a main piece. He will not steer you wrong in this one. The Bengals can’t stop anybody on the ground and that trend looks to continue this Sunday against the Denver Broncos rushing attack. Denver is very fortunate that Lindsay chose them as his NFL destination, as he has helped them win big ball games all season long.

Prediction: 125 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns
