NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey: Sunday Night Football Picks
DraftKings
Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?
Notorious: Terrance Ferguson, Bo Nix, Davante Adams
ncorfield8k: Davante Adams, Jaylen Waddle, Kyren Williams
Davis Mattek: Terrance Ferguson, Jaylen Waddle, Davante Adams
Bobby Gomes: Davante Adams, Kyren Williams, Jaylen Waddle
What is the most pivotal correlation (or individual player) when it comes to your portfolio of lineups?
Notorious: For me, it’s going to be Terrance Ferguson. While it’s hard to ignore the massive game Davante Adams had last week without Puka Nacua, he’s going to draw coverage from Patrick Surtain. I still like Adams and will be using plenty of him, but I could see more targets funneling elsewhere. Ferguson saw a major uptick in routes last week, and the Rams love to give him targets downfield.
ncorfield8k: Jordan Whittington. I’m not even going to load up really, but I’ll be significantly over the field. He’s going to go overlooked, as everybody assumes the Rams will roll out the same rotation as last week. I’m just not sure that’s the case.
Davis Mattek: RJ Harvey over J.K. Dobbins. Harvey missed last week but practiced this week. Jonah Coleman is on the IR, and Dobbins is also coming off of an injury. Harvey should get 3rd downs and 2-minute drill work, and I expect the Rams to play from ahead here. Absolutely no one wants to play RJ Harvey.
Bobby Gomes: Matthew Stafford to Davante Adams. With Puka Nacua out again, Adams is the target-share winner in this offense, and he’s my most-used CPT, with Stafford in the FLEX behind him more than anyone else. It ties the whole portfolio together: The Ferguson fade I mentioned above is really a bet that the Rams’ passing game runs through Adams, not the tight end, and that the Blake Corum and Rams D/ST pieces are the same game script from the other side, that of the Rams controlling it with Denver forced to throw into pressure.

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.
