5 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 8

A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

FanDuel Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 17.7

A.J. Green's six targets in Week 7 were his lowest in any game this season, and the Cincinnati Bengals put up just 14 points. Moving on to Week 8, the Bengals have the fifth-highest implied total (25.75 points) of any team and Green will likely be more involved, as his 31.84 percent target share on the season ranks fourth among all wide receivers.

A heavy workload should lead to good things for Green against the Indianapolis Colts secondary that is allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing wide receivers. Lining up on the outside for 89 percent of his routes this season, Green will primarily matchup against Rashaan Melvin and Vontae Davis. The latter has struggled mightily this season, ranking 98th among 112 eligible cornerbacks, while Melvin ranks 12th. But don't let Melvin's play scare you off of Green who racked up 189 receiving yards and a touchdown just two weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills, despite their top outside cornerbacks ranking fourth and 34th.

This is a great spot for Green to bounce back from last week's down performance, and he is our highest-projected wide receiver of the week.
