NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey: Sunday Night Football Picks
DraftKings
Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?
Notorious: Jaxson Dart, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb
ncorfield8k: Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Cam Skattebo
Davis Mattek: George Pickens , CeeDee Lamb, Javonte Williams
Bobby Gomes: CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams
What is the most pivotal correlation (or individual player) when it comes to your portfolio of lineups?
Notorious: My biggest stands are actually going to be fades. I’m fading Cam Skattebo and Jake Ferguson. Skattebo is coming back from a season-ending ankle injury. While he’s going to play, I don’t expect him to have the same workload that he did last season. The Giants have three veteran running backs backing him up. Ferguson is coming off a good season overall, but his numbers really take a dip when both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb are healthy.
ncorfield8k: Javonte Williams + Cowboys D/ST – Both Williams and the Cowboys D/ST are strong values, and the Cowboys D/ST is fairly contrarian. They correlate well, and I’d expect both to have a lot of success as the Cowboys run all over the Giants.
Davis Mattek: I will have 0.0% Isaiah Likely. He is going to be way over-owned by those with the assumption that he is the leading target earner with Malik Nabers out or limited. Likely is just not a high-level target earner or even a guy who can play a whole complement of snaps due to his lack of blocking.
Bobby Gomes: Dak Prescott + CeeDee Lamb + Cowboys D/ST – Dallas is 14-3 against this team with Dak starting, and the version where they win comfortably is the same version where the defense gets to tee off on Jaxson Dart behind a shaky line. The passing game and the D/ST hit together or neither does, and that’s the kind of one-outcome bet I want a Showdown lineup to be. The Giants’ mirror is Dart, Cam Skattebo, and the Giants D/ST if the front seven turns it into a slog.
What’s one rule/setting that you’re going to use in our NFL DFS optimizer (LineupHQ) or NFL DFS sims tool (SimLabs)?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
