4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 16
Don't expect Todd Gurley's hot streak to stop on Sunday. Which other top-priced players should you target in Week 16?

Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers

FanDuel Price: $8,300
Projected Points: $23.1

Just one week after Cam Newton's four-touchdown performance, the Carolina Panthers have the fourth-highest implied total (28.25 points) of the week. They are favored by 10 points at home versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have allowed over 260 passing yards in 11 games this season. They have given up more than 300 passing yards in two of their past four games alone.

Sometimes being a heavy favorite could be a bad thing for a quarterback, considering they likely won't be relied upon to throw the ball with such a big lead. But for Newton, his heavy involvement in the running game expels that concern and gives his floor a boost compared to that of other quarterbacks.

He's averaging 45.9 rushing yards per game this season and has had double-digit rushing attempts in each of his past two games. He also saw double-digit rushing attempts in his first meeting with the Buccaneers -- Cam is set up for a big game in Week 16.
