8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 16
Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans
FanDuel Price: $6,400
Projected Points: 9.9
The schedule the over the past two weeks certainly has not done any favors for Delanie Walker, who has been held to just 8 total catches for 85 yards over those two games combined. Much of those struggles can be attributed to him playing against the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, two of the top-eight defenses at defending tight ends this season.
A quick glance at his week 16 opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, reveals that they are giving up the ninth-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing primary tight ends. That could certainly be a reason to believe that Walker is in for another long day, but Jacksonville has struggled against tight ends recently, allowing double-digit FanDuel points to an opposing tight end in each of their past two games.
That bodes well for Walker, whose 86 targets are tied for the lead on the Tennessee Titans. Don't let Jacksonville's early-season tight-end defense fool you, Walker is a good play this week.
