4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 7

Carson Wentz, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

DraftKings Price: $6,000
Projected Points: 19.2

The Philadelphia Eagles are 4.5-point home favorites against the visiting Carolina Panthers and have an implied team total of just 25 points. This is hardly a spot that screams shootout or high fantasy ceiling. However, a closer look at Carson Wentz and his efficient style of play reveals a stud option in Week 7.

Wentz is a beacon of consistency at the quarterback position and often is low-owned due to higher volume passers or running quarterbacks having the appearance of a better option. However, over Wentz' last nine games (going back to the 2017 season), we see that he has scored over 20 DraftKings points in every single game except for his first start of the 2018 season. We can give him the benefit of the doubt in that start as it was his first start coming off ACL surgery.

Our models project him to score 19.2 DraftKings points, and at just $6,000. The fact that he's only scored less than 20 points once in his last 9 games makes me think that that could be his floor in Week 7. He's also completed 66.0% of his passes in all four games this season. He only reached that completion rate 4 times in 13 games in 2017. He clearly is more efficient in 2018, and the combination of his floor and ceiling is up with the elite quarterbacks.

He also has remarkable options to stack along with him, which helps to raise your ceiling in DFS. At just $6,000, he's a hidden stud at a bargain price tag.
