4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 9

Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers

DraftKings Price: $6,600
Projected Points: 26.3

The Carolina Panthers have a massive 30.5 point implied total and are 7.0 point home favorites as they host the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After dismantling the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 8, the Panthers are in a superb position to put up some phenomenal fantasy outings.

The 2018 season has been one of the most efficient statistical seasons of Cam Newton's career. He's posting top-3 numbers for his career in virtually every category, highlighted by his 66.7% completion rate -- which is a full 7.4% higher than his 2017 rate. Cam's efficiency has been a product of the fact that he's surrounded by the best offensive weapons he's had in his entire career and they're getting healthier by the week.

Cam is also averaging 53 rushing yards and 0.5 touchdowns on the ground per game, basically adding a hypothetical 8.3 points to his fantasy floor each and every game without attempting a single pass. If you add in the fact that he's had multiple touchdowns in every single game except for the season opener, you can see why Cam is projected to score 26.3 DraftKings points in Week 8, per our models.
