4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 14
Cam Newton has been a little up and down of late, but has his floor been high enough to build your lineups around for this week's main slate?

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers

DraftKings Price: $9,300
Projected Points: 23.2

Christian McCaffrey has been nothing short of incredible over the past five games. He has scored 32.70, 36.80, 17.00, 52.70, and 34.10 DraftKings points in the last five games. He's doing so by running well, catching the football and scoring touchdowns.

Christian has scored eight touchdowns in the last five games, four of which have come on the ground and four through the air. He has rushed for over 100 yards in back-to-back games, caught eight-plus passes in three straight games, and has had over 100 total yards in all five games. In the red zone is where he has started to shine though. Over the last five games, McCaffrey has 32 touches inside the 20 and has scored 7 touchdowns on those touches.

Out of every running back who receives 10 plus touches per game (on the main slate), McCaffrey has the highest points per opportunity (rush or reception) with a 1.50 rate. Is he expensive? Absolutely. But if I am paying up for a stud running back in Week 14, I am not going to get cute with my selection.
