8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 7
A.J. Green has a superb home matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Which other high-priced players are worth the investment this week?

DeMarco Murray, RB, Tennessee Titans

FanDuel Price: $8,700

Projected Points: 18.2

DeMarco Murray has established himself as the clear lead back on the Tennessee Titans, garnering 63.69% of the team's carries this season. That number is actually trending up, as he has controlled 70.19% of his team's carries over the last three games. He has played a big role in the passing game, as well, and Murray's 15.51% market share of targets is the fifth-highest percentage of any running back.

He has turned his opportunities into 115.8 fantasy points, good enough for third-most among all running backs this season.

This week, Murray draws the Indianapolis Colts, who have given up the more FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs than any other team. They have allowed opposing running backs to top 100 rushing yards in each of the past two weeks, and Indy has allowed the last three running backs they've faced to set their season-high in rushing yards.

Every running back to have 12 or more touches against the Colts this season has reached at least 13 FanDuel points. Murray has had 19 or more touches in every game this season and could be leaned on again as his team is favored by 2.5 points in this game.
