4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 9

Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

FanDuel Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 17.6

On 21 touches in Week 8, Kareem Hunt totaled 86 yards and a touchdown to mark his fifth-straight game with at least 80 yards and a touchdown. He has actually found the end zone in seven straight games and topped 80 yards in six of eight games thus far.

His heavy workload is secure, as only two running backs in the NFL have handled a higher percentage of their team's carries this year than Hunt's 67.0% clip. And the ceiling is certainly appealing as he already went over the 30.0-FanDuel-point threshold just two weeks ago.

So how about his appeal for Week 9?

Well, the game script is certainly in his favor as the Kansas City Chiefs are the second-biggest favorites on the board (8.0) and have the fourth-highest implied total (29.75) points of any team. And the matchup plays into his favor as the Cleveland Browns are allowing more FanDuel points to opposing running backs than any other team in the league.

With all signs pointing to another big day for Hunt, he's a great back to build around this week.
