FanDuel Price: $8,600
Projected Points: 16.2
After catching just five passes in Week 8, Michael Thomas rebounded in a huge way, catching 12-of-15 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams. That was his fourth game this season with double-digit receptions and his third game of the year with at least 24.0 FanDuel points.
The big game was no fluke either, as he has leads all wide receivers with a 34.5% target percentage over the past three games. Now in Week 10, he draws a matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, who are giving up the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing wide receivers. The Bengals do not have a single cornerback ranked better than 52nd, according to Pro Football Focus' player grades. That provides a juicy mismatch for Thomas, who ranks second in the NFL with an average of 110.0 receiving yards per game this season.
Cincinnati has already given up more than 100 receiving yards to five opposing wide receivers over their past five games, and Thomas appears has a great opportunity to add to that list on on Sunday.
