4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 14
Without Le'Veon Bell or Alvin Kamara on the main slate, Todd Gurley is worth his high salary despite a tough matchup. Which other NFL DFS studs are worth targeting in Week 14?

Alex Smith, QB, Kansas City Chiefs

FanDuel Price: $8,200
Projected Points: 22.3

Alex Smith ended his recent slump in a huge way last week, passing for 366 yards and 4 touchdowns while adding a 70-yard run to lead all players with 37.6 FanDuel points. He also broke his three-game interception streak, giving him his ninth interception-free game of the year.

He will look to continue this form against the Oakland Raiders, who are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks. They rank dead last in the league with just one interception all year and will have a hard time finding another against Smith, whose four interceptions are tied for the fewest of any quarterback to start all 12 games.

The Kansas City Chiefs also have the fourth-highest implied total (25.75 points) of any team this week and are favored by just four points, which helps Smith's chances of continuing to throw throughout a high-scoring game.

Even with his recent three-game rough patch, he still ranks fourth in the NFL with an average of 21.0 FanDuel points per game and has already proven he can perform against the Raiders -- he scored 25.7 FanDuel points in their first meeting this season.
