4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target for the Divisional Round
These four players already got the best of their divisional round opponents once this season. Can they do it again?

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 18.9

Well look what we have here -- another running back who racked up double-digit FanDuel points in every one of his (15) games this season.

Ezekiel Elliott led the NFL with 1,631 rushing yards this season, besting every other player by at least 318 yards. He also found the end zone at least once in 10 of his 15 games, and the Dallas Cowboys have the second-highest implied total (28.50 points) of the eight teams playing this week.

Just like Bell and Ryan, Elliott is also playing in a rematch with a team that he already put up big numbers against once this year, in the Green Bay Packers. That was actually one of Elliott's five games to be held out of the end zone, but he did roll out a total of 174 yards.

Green Bay allowed the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing primary running backs this season, and the Cowboys are favored by 4.5 points, which bodes well for Elliott, who also led the NFL in rushing attempts this season.
