4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 11

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $8,400
Projected Points: 21.9

After being held out of the end zone in two-straight games, Ezekiel Elliott bounced back with a monster 186 yard, two touchdown performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. That marked his fourth 100-plus yard performance over his past seven games and he now gets to follow that up with a juicy matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who are giving up up the third-most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs this season.

To be perfectly honest, one of the first things I do each week is look for which running back is playing agains the the Falcons. Their Week 2 matchup with the Panthers is the only game in which they have held opposing running backs out of the end zone, and that came thanks to the Carolina running backs combining for just 11 rushes all game. They did still allow Christian McCaffrey to top 100 receiving yards on a whopping 14 receptions in that game.

Since Week 2, all nine running backs with at least 13 touches against the Falcons have topped 90 yards. That bodes very well for Elliott, who has seen at least 17 touches in every single game this season. Our models project Elliott to take full advantage of this advantageous matchup, by leading all running backs in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns this week.
