4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 15
Following a stellar outing against the Packers, Julio Jones could be in line for another big day against the Cardinals in Week 15. Which other high-priced stars should you build around?

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

FanDuel Price: $8,800
Projected Points: 21.6

With Christian McCaffrey, Todd Gurley and Alvin Kamara all missing from the main slate, the top two running backs become pretty clear this week. That list starts with Ezekiel Elliott, who has topped 22.0 FanDuel points in five straight games, averaging a whopping 26.8 FanDuel points per game over that span. His lowest yardage total in that five game stretch came in Week 13 when he still managed 135 yards from scrimmage. He compiled 192 yards in Week 14 and didn't even need a touchdown to reach his total of 25.2 FanDuel points.

There is no question about his workload, as he leads all running backs in the NFL with a 44.6% market share. And over his past three games, that number has actually been even higher at 48.1%. No other running back is within five percentage points of him during that period.

Our models project that heavy workload to continue, projecting Elliott to rank first in rushing attempts (20.4) and third in targets (6.8) among all running backs in Week 15. That puts him in a great spot to produce against the Indianapolis Colts, who allowed two opposing running backs to score a touchdown against them last week.
