4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 8
Is Kirk Cousins the perfect combination of value and upside for NFL DFS contests on Draftkings this weekend?

Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins

DraftKings Price: $6,400
Projected Points: 21.4

The Washington Redskins are 2.0-point road under-dogs as they visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 and boast a healthy implied team total of 24.25 points.

Kirk Cousins has thrown multiple touchdowns in four straight games, finding the end zone through the air a total of 10 times. He's also thrown for over 300 passing yards in three out of the last four games and looks locked in right now. During this span of time, he hasn't posted a score on DraftKings lower than 20.6 points.

The Cowboys defense isn't special and have allowed opposing quarterbacks to score 19.3 DraftKings points per game. Our models have Cousins projected to score 21.4 DraftKings points, which very well may be his floor in a phenomenal matchup.
