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?

Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots

FanDuel Price: $8,100

Projected Points: 13.5

Take a quick look at Rob Gronkowski's average FanDuel points per game over the past five seasons, and how his numbers stack up among tight ends.

Year FanDuel PPG TE Rank
2015 12.2 1st
2014 12.3 1st
2013 11.9 2nd
2012 13 1st
2011 15.1 1st


He's pretty good, and he's been lights out with Tom Brady back in the mix.

Over his past three games, Gronk is averaging 16.13 FanDuel points per game. He has amassed more than 90 receiving yards in each of those games and has found the end zone in each of the past two weeks.

In Week 8, he will be up against a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed only one tight end all year to hit the 40-yard receiving mark. But that one tight end was Gronkowski's teammate, Martellus Bennett, and he went off for 109 yards when these two teams met in Week 4.

Over the past three games, Gronkowski has averaged 6.7 targets per game to just 5.0 per game for Bennett, and Gronk is set to continue his dominance in Week 8.
