4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 15

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

DraftKings Price: $6,600
Projected Point: 25.6

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2.5 point underdogs as they host the visiting New England Patriots in Week 15. The Steelers have a 24.75 point implied total which is the seventh-highest on the slate. While I am not always a fan of targeting a quarterback that is not a favorite, Ben Roethlisberger has a solid opportunity to finish as the highest-scoring quarterback on Sunday.

Big Ben has an incredibly high floor and ceiling combination, making him viable in both cash games and tournaments. Roethlisberger has scored at least 17.00 DraftKings points in every single game this season. At home, he has scored 41.98, 15.86, 22.60, 17.88, 38.82, and 18.24 DraftKings points in each individual game. The 41.98 and 38.82 point performances highlight his tournament-winning upside.

In three out of the last four weeks, Ben has thrown the ball 45 or more times in a game, highlighting the fact that the Steelers are turning into a pass heavy offense as the season progresses. Some of this is due to the injuries in the backfield but that doesn't look like it has gotten any better heading into their matchup with the Patriots. Ben has outscored what our models are projecting (25.6) on five separate occasions and this is a solid week for him to do it again.
