4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 15

Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants

FanDuel Price: $9,400
Projected Points: 20.4

With so many top-end wide receivers and tight ends missing from the main slate this week, it's a good week to consider spending up on multiple running backs. And as we mentioned earlier, the top two running backs this week become quite clear due to the rest of the elite backs also missing from the main slate, leaving us with Saquon Barkley as the other recommended stud in Week 15.

Despite carrying the ball just 14 times in Week 14, Barkley churned out an astounding 170 yards on the ground and found the end zone once. That came against the stout Washington Redskins run defense that had previously only allowed one opposing running back to top 100 yards all season. That running back was our other stud, Elliott, by the way.

And as hardly believable as that impressive stat line from last week sounds, it was actually the second time in just three weeks that Barkley topped 100 yards on the ground despite seeing fewer than 15 carries in a game.

He does draw a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans, who have held opposing running backs to the second-fewest FanDuel points per game of any team this season. But as we mentioned already, Barkley has proven that he can thrive without the benefit of facing a soft defense.
