4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 16
Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
DraftKings Price: $8,400
Projected Points: 14.82
Kareem Hunt scored six total touchdowns in his first three games of the year, but then he experienced a scoreless stretch over the course of nine consecutive games. He averaged 12.4 DraftKings points in that touchdown-less span despite costing an average $8,200, not coming close to hitting value (3 points per every $1,000 in salary).
After last week's big game, Hunt's salary has again increased to above the $8,000 mark, but his usage merits it this time around. Whereas the rookie averaged 16.2 carries and 4.2 targets during his scoreless streak, Hunt's averaged an increased 24.5 carries and 6.0 targets in his last two games, including a season-high eight red zone touches last week.
As noted by Evan Silva, the Kansas City Chiefs have historically played much better defense at Arrowhead Stadium.
#Chiefs have now held 13 straight opponents to 20 points or fewer at Arrowhead, despite not having an actually-good DEF for most. Their HFA is special.

This trend combined with Hunt's recent usage make for what could be a dream game script for Hunt against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday.
