8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 9
Ezekiel Elliott has a dream matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Which other high-priced players are in a good spot this week?

Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Projected Points: 25.5

Matt Ryan ranks third among all players in FanDuel points per game, and he has been a top-18 quarterback all eight weeks. He's averaging 329.5 passing yards per game, with multiple touchdown passes in six of eight games, and only four interceptions all season.

In Week 9, he gets a rematch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who he faced in Week 1 to kickoff this career-best season. He threw for 334 yards and was the sixth-best quarterback that week, totaling 24.36 FanDuel points.

Tampa Bay has given up at least one touchdown pass in six of their seven games this season, and they have managed a meager four total interceptions. The only quarterback who failed to throw a touchdown pass in his matchup against Tampa Bay is Derek Anderson. They allowed Derek Carr to rack up a week-best 35.82 FanDuel points last week, and our projections have Ryan claiming the top spot for Week 9.
