4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 13
At quarterback, is Jared Goff a viable option to anchor your lineups on DraftKings?

Brandin Cooks, WR, Los Angeles Rams

DraftKings Price: $7,000
Projected Points: 17.9

While Jared Goff is lighting up the airways over the last four weeks, Brandin Cooks has emerged, once again, as an elite WR1 option. He's racked up 40 targets over the last 4 games, which is the most on the team. Cooks has over 100 yards receiving in 3 straight games and even padded his stats with a rushing touchdown from nine yards out against the Seattle Seahawks two games ago.

Surprisingly, Cooks has the 10th-highest red zone opportunity rate (1.19) per game for the wide receiver position. He has a 0.39 points per snap rate, which is the seventh-highest at the position over the last month. His 25.2 DraftKings points per game over the last month is the third-highest rate behind only Julio Jones (27.4) and Tyreek Hill (35.3).

He isn't necessarily one of the first names that come to mind when you think of a stud wide receiver, but he's sure playing like one.
