4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 15

Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

DraftKings Price: $6,100
Projected Point: 20.6

The Cincinnati Bengals are 2.5-point favorites and have a 24.25-point implied team total. The Oakland Raiders are visiting Cinci on Sunday in what might actually be a competitive game even though both teams are far down in the standings.

One thing I have made a habit at doing in daily fantasy sports is to target running backs who are favored and playing at home. Joe Mixon fits the mold perfectly as a running back that should have a positive game script due to the inferior opponent and playing in front of the home crowd. Mixon is just $6,100 but has the market share of an elite RB1 this season.

He has scored 66.7% of the Bengals rushing touchdowns, rushed for 69.2% of their yards, and has done so on just 59.4% of the snaps. While he is just shy of the 60.0% snap rate he has averaged 24 touches (including 3 receptions), 85 yards, and 0.6 touchdowns per game. Over the last four weeks, Joe has scored 14.20, 22.50, 11.50, and 27.80 DraftKings points. Over six home games this season, Joe has 124.9 DraftKings points which equates to 20.82 points per game.

His floor won't hurt you at his price tag and his ceiling can return immense value.
