NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey: Monday Night Football Picks

DraftKings

Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?

Notorious: CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, George Pickens
headChopper: CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Tanner McKee
ncorfield8k: CeeDee Lamb, Javonte Williams, Dallas Goedert
Davis Mattek: Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott

How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: I like to play small-field tournaments, and I think this slate sets up really well for those contests, at least with how I think the game will play out. I want to be underweight on both of the rushing attacks. The Eagles are tough against the run, and we haven’t seen much of anything from Saquon Barkley. I’m also going to fade both of the defenses. My lineups will consist of these two passing attacks with some Brandon Aubrey sprinkled in as well.

headChopper: I’ve seen this matchup between these coordinators several times now, so I’ll only be working with two game scripts tonight. Both have the Cowboys passing game performing well, with CeeDee Lamb as the primary WR to target. The difference is on the other side of the ball. One script has the Dallas defense continuing to struggle against the pass, allowing the Philly receivers to put up solid numbers. The other has Dallas getting a little healthier defensively and actually doing a respectable job of slowing down this offense, limiting both yards and scoring.

ncorfield8k: The Eagles will likely rely on Saquon Barkley as much as possible rather than throwing a lot with Tanner McKee, so I will be prioritizing Barkley at home. I’ll also play the Eagles D/ST more than the minimal ownership they’re projected to get. While it’s a tough matchup and they’ve been bad, it’s a home game and football is chaotic.

Davis Mattek: This is such a classic spot where people pile onto Dallas Goedert and Darius Cooper with 40+ Tanner McKee dropbacks, and Makai Lemon proves that the Eagles were right to take him in the NFL draft. Brevyn Spann-Ford has also overtaken the starting TE job for Dallas, but the field will still play Jake Ferguson.

What’s one rule/setting that you’re going to use in our NFL DFS optimizer (LineupHQ) or NFL DFS sims tool (SimLabs)?
