8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 12

Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

FanDuel Price: $8,600
Projected Points: 20.9

The Los Angeles Rams have allowed the ninth-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, so normally we wouldn't target them. But Drew Brees playing at home trumps any matchup concerns.

Brees leads all NFL players with 27.14 FanDuel points per game at home, and he has not been held under 20 FanDuel points in any of his five games in New Orleans this season. He has been a top-three FanDuel quarterback in three of those games and top-10 passer in every single one. That includes a three-touchdown, 303-yard performance in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos, who had previously only allowed two quarterbacks this season to throw for over 265 yards and only one quarterback to throw more than one touchdown pass.

The New Orleans Saints are tied for the fourth-highest implied total (26.25 points) this week and are favored by seven points. Since 2011, in the 22 games when the Saints have been favored by more than five points at home, Brees has averaged 31 fantasy points per game.
