Week 9 Funny Money: Two running backs could pay off in DFS

In this week's Funny Money, Yahoo Sports' Brad Evans and Brandon Funston get animated about the attractive Daily Fantasy values of Chicago rookie Jeremy Langford ($14) and Denver's C.J. Anderson ($18).

Funston jumped to the mic first in support of the Bears' rookie RB (Langford), who is filling in for an injured Matt Forte this week. He's expected to handle a full workload on Monday night against a Chargers defense that has allowed 5.2 YPC and 10 rushing TDs to the running back position. At the price  ($14 in Yahoo DFS), the opportunity is too juicy to ignore in Daily leagues..

Evans closed with by throwing some verbal bouquets at Broncos back C.J. Anderson, who he felt looked reminiscent of his late '14 self in a victory over Green Bay last week, as he rushed for over 100 yards and scored a TD in that Sunday night affair. Evans sees another scintillating effort ahead for Anderson this weekend against an Indy defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the RB position. At an $18 price in DFS this week, expect Anderson to deliver a handsome return on investment.
