4 NFL DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 8

Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams

DraftKings Price: $9,800
Projected Points: 33.7

Todd Gurley has been nothing short of stupendous in all things fantasy football. On DraftKings, he has scored 25.60 points or more in all seven games this season, and he has managed to clear the 30-point barrier in three straight games. In his Week 7 game against the San Francisco 49ers, Gurley only played 36 of 61 snaps but still managed to score 3 touchdowns and rack up 86 total yards.

He's been absolutely dominant in the red zone this season. He has 43 carries for 124 yards rushing and 11 rushing touchdowns while tacking on another 7 receptions for 43 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns inside the 20-yard line. He is receiving 6.06 red zone opportunities per game, 3.44 opportunities inside the 10-yard line, and 1.88 opportunities inside the 5-yard line. He's also converted 22.5% of all his red zone touches into touchdowns.

As an 8.5-point home favorite and a team implied 32.5 total, the Rams likely will score at will in what is projected to be a high-scoring game against the Packers. This would likely lead to plenty of opportunities for Todd Gurley in extremely valuable situations.

Pay up for the stud and don't think twice.
