8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 10
Tom Brady's matchup against the Seahawks isn't as bad as it might seem. Who else is worth a heavy investment?

Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

FanDuel Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 17.9

Mike Evans currently leads all wide receivers with 15.6 FanDuel points per game. He also ranks first in both targets and receiving touchdowns. He has been targeted more than 10 times in seven straight games and has found the end zone in six of eight games this season.

This week, Evans will be up against the Chicago Bears, who have given up the second-most FanDuel points to opposing wide receivers this season. He is expected to be shadowed this week by Tracy Porter, who Pro Football Focus grades as the 70th-best cornerback in the NFL.

Evans has lined up on the outside for 81% of his routes this season, and according to Scott Barrett, 74% of the fantasy points that Chicago has given up to opposing wide receivers have come to outside receivers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an implied total this week of only 23.5 points, but with Evans seeing a league-high 37.61% of his team's targets, there is still plenty of opportunity for him to have a great FanDuel performance.
