4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 17

Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

DraftKings Price: $7,900

Projected Points: 20.37

Mark Ingram has out-scored Alvin Kamara in total DraftKings points 47.7 to 36.9 the past two weeks, but it's Kamara who's quietly received more opportunity in that stint.

Though Kamara's snap rate (52.73%) is similar to Ingram's (54.76%) across the last two games, the rookie has actually out-touched Ingram, 37-33, and received four more targets (13-9) in that span. Ingram has benefitted from two additional touchdowns in those outings.

As it pertains to Week 17, though, the matchup appears to benefit Kamara more. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have stifled opposing running backs, ranking 11th-overall in rushing defense, according to our schedule-adjusted metrics, but the Bucs have quietly allowed the 11th-most DraftKings points (which includes points for receptions) to the position (via FantasyData.com).

Kamara is one of only two backs our models project to score at least 20 DraftKings points in Week 17, and he could finish his monster rookie regular season on a high note.
