4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 4
With elite volume and a plus matchup against the Detroit Lions, Ezekiel Elliott is worth paying up for in Week 4.

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $8,200
Projected Points: 19.5

While Kamara's target projection is an outlier among all running backs, Ezekiel Elliott stands alone in upside, with our models projecting him for 0.3 more rushing touchdowns than the next closest player at his position.

And that's not to say that his floor is bad, as he has averaged 19.7 touches over the first three games of the season. Only six running backs in the league have carried the ball more times than Elliott this season. And he has little to no competition for carries on his team, as the rest of the running backs on the Dallas Cowboys roster have combined for a total of one carry in 2018.

That provides Elliott with a great opportunity to flourish against the Detroit Lions, who have given up the third-most FanDuel points per game of any team to opposing running backs this season.
