4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 17

Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs

FanDuel Price: $7,700
Projected Points: 15.0

Travis Kelce is actually coming off of his worst-two game stretch of the season, being held to single-digit FanDuel points in consecutive weeks for the first time all year. But the volume has still been there, with him seeing nine targets in each of those games and now averaging 11.0 targets over his past 5 outings. That includes a 13-target day against the Oakland Raiders back in Week 13, when he set season-high marks in receptions (12) and receiving yards (168), as well as catching two touchdown passes for the third time all year.

Those Raiders, who perennially struggle defending the position, are allowing more FanDuel points per game to opposing tight ends than any other team this season. So how can we not like Kelce this week? After all, the Kansas City Chiefs top all teams with a 33.75 point implied total heading into the week.

Sometimes it's best to not overthink things. When we have the highest-scoring FanDuel tight end going up against the worst defense at defending tight ends, the answer is to roster Kelce wherever you can.
