4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 16

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers

FanDuel Price: $9,300
Projected Points: 24.8

With 53 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards in Week 15, Christian McCaffrey topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the seventh straight game. He did fail to score a rushing or receiving touchdown for only the second time in his past eight games, but of course made up for that by throwing a 50-yard touchdown pass to Chris Manhertz for the Carolina Panthers' only offensive score of the night. That made him the first player since 1985 with at least 50 yards passing, rushing and receiving in the same game.

Next up he gets a welcome rematch with the Atlanta Falcons, who are giving up the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs of any team this season. They are also allowing a league-high 7.6 receptions per game to opposing running backs. That includes McCaffrey's career-high of 14 catches back in Week 2 during the two teams' first meeting.

Especially with Cam Newton ruled out, McCaffrey will continue to be the focal point of the Panthers offense, lining him up for another big day in this soft matchup.
