4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 16

Eric Ebron, TE, Indianapolis Colts

DraftKings Price: $5,700
Projected Point: 12.6

Our tight end options are limited in Week 16, leaving a player like Eric Ebron at the very top. Ebron's been rather consistent of late, but strengthening my resolve is the fact that the Colts have a 28.50-point implied total and are 10.0-point home favorites over the visiting New York Giants. I normally try to target my running backs and tight ends when they are at home and favorites due to the fact that a home favorite will spend more time in the opponent's red zone and potentially have more scoring opportunities as they play with a lead.

Ebron might have lower ownership than normal due to his poor Week 15 performance, but that only makes him a more valuable option in tournaments. Prior to the 23-0 win over the Dallas Cowboys, Ebron had scored 16.50, 16.20, 21.50, and 28.10 DraftKings point in the last four games. He managed to score a touchdown in three of those games (totaling four scores) and hauled in 10 receptions for 81 yards in the one game that he didn't score.

I suspect that Ebron is worked back into the fold in Week 16 in a nice bounce-back spot at a decreased ownership level.
