4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 12

James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Price: $7,900
Projected Points: 19.2

Following four-straight games with at least 20 touches, James Conner saw fewer than 15 in each of the past two weeks, finishing under 15.0 FanDuel points in each of those games. But both of those games came against defenses who are rank in the top-five in terms of FanDuel points per game allowed to opposing running backs.

In each of his 20-plus touch games, Conner topped 25.0 FanDuel points. So with our models projecting him to touch the ball more than 20 times in Week 12, he's in line for another big game, against the Denver Broncos, who rank 22nd in terms of FanDuel points per game allowed to opposing running backs.

Denver has already allowed more than 200 yards to an opposing running back twice this year, showing the incredibly high ceiling that Conner has in this game. Just last week, Denver allowed Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler to combine for a whopping 225 yards.

We can't guarantee a total like that for Conner, but our models do project him to finish among the top-five running backs in both rushing and receiving yards.
