FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 11

Carson Palmer

FanDuel Salary: $8,200

If you're the type to be paranoid about ever rostering a second-year starter such as Derek Carr in your cash game lineups, then Carson Palmer can be the guy you turn to for ultimate safety at the position at a reasonable price. To date this season, Palmer’s scored no fewer than 16.98 FanDuel points in a single game, and that came against the Rams' third-ranked pass defense back in Week 4.

And last week, Palmer really showed his mettle by going into Century Link stadium and carving up the Seahawks' fourth-ranked pass defense for 363 yards and 3 scores, ending up with 21.32 FanDuel points, a point total that was depressed by two lost fumbles.

This week, Palmer draws a matchup against the 12th-ranked pass defense in the Cincinnati Bengals, who, while talented, do not bring their own flavor of the Legion of Boom to the table. The Cardinals currently generate 72% of their offensive touchdowns through Palmer's arm, and through Week 10, Palmer already has thrown for multiple touchdowns in seven of his nine games played.

With an over/under of 48, tied for the second-highest of the weekend, and an implied point total of 26.5 points, Palmer has a great chance of meeting or exceeding value against the Bengals this weekend.
