4 NFL DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 8
Can we afford to build lineups around Todd Gurley with his $9,800 salary?

Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers

DraftKings Price: $7,900
Projected Points: 19.4

One of the best ways to raise your scoring ceiling in DFS is to stack your quarterback with one of his primary targets. While this leads to a more volatile outcome due to the inherent nature of the two players relying on the other to perform above expectations, it is a common approach when creating a lineup for a tournament.

If the high team total of the Rams comes to fruition then the Packers will likely need to air it out to keep pace with the scoring, ultimately leading to more opportunities and volume for Davante Adams. While Rodgers has heaved 96 passing attempts in the last two games, Adams has been the recipient of 28 of those targets. He's managed to haul in 19 receptions for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Those numbers are superb, but a deeper look reveals that he's not only garnering plenty of looks, but he's getting the precious red zone targets. Out of the 18 red zone passes that Rodgers has thrown in the past two games, Adams has been targeted on 7 of those, catching 3 for 37 yards and 3 touchdowns.

This stack has a strong floor and ceiling combination and if you're going to pay up at wide receiver, give the Rodgers to Adams stack strong consideration.
