4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 14
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans
DraftKings Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 19.9
To the surprise of everybody, the Houston Texans are actually favored at home against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. The Texans are implied to score 23.0 points and are favored by 2.5 points in their Week 14 matchup.
Like Gurley, the star wide receiver for the Texans, DeAndre Hopkins, offers us immense upside with a super scoring floor. He has scored at least 14.3 DraftKings points in every single game this season except for one. He has cleared the 20.0 DraftKings points mark in 6 of 12 games and has shown an explosive 39.4 DraftKings points ceiling.
There is quite a bit of value available in Week 14, and paying up for players like Hopkins allows us to build a strong floor while hoping one of our budget options can score a touchdown or 2. This type of stars-and-scrubs strategy is how you get to the top of a GPP in a hurry.
Our model projects Hopkins to score the most points at the wide receiver position (19.9), thus he is likely going to be worth every bit of his $8,500 salary.
