8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 8
Julio Jones leads all receivers in FanDuel points per game, and the Atlanta Falcons have the highest implied total of the week. Which other high-priced players are worth checking out?

DeMarco Murray, RB, Tennessee Titans

FanDuel Price: $8,300

Projected Points: 19.0

DeMarco Murray's 17.5 FanDuel points per game are the third-most among all running backs to play more than one game this season, and he has racked up more than 12 FanDuel points in each game.

He has combined for more than 100 total yards -- rushing and receiving -- in five of seven games, and Murray has already found the end zone seven times. Murray leads all running backs with 40.23% of his team's opportunities, and that number actually increases to 45.74% if we just look at his last three games.

In Week 8, he draws the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing starting running backs. Every running back with 15 or more touches against the Jaguars this year has scored a touchdown, and the only running back with more than 20 touches turned that workload into 120 total yards.
