NFL DFS DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey (Afternoon Slate): Week 10 Picks

headChopper: Christian McCaffrey
stevietpfl: Christian McCaffrey
TJ Zwarych: CeeDee Lamb
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?
headChopper: Even though it’s a small slate, there are some seriously good spots to target for DFS. I think Dallas and San Francisco could end up in a very efficient shootout, and unless Dallas’ defense has magically gotten better in a week, San Francisco should have its way offensively. Of course, Seattle is in a good spot as well, but it’s the Rams I’m most intrigued by because they’re down to the bare bones at wide receiver. Getting that situation right is going to win someone a tournament. I’m taking multiple shots at mixing and matching Rams pass catchers in lineups with a SF/DAL game stack. I’m just looking for that right combination.
stevietpfl: I’m not a huge fan of smaller slates, but this one makes you make some decisions. I like the idea of plugging in Christian McCaffrey, Kyren Williams, and CeeDee Lamb. I’ll pay down at quarterback and tight end to make these lineups work. I also don’t mind taking some tournament shots on the cheap Arizona options. Tyler Allgeier is one of my favorites on this smaller slate. With him, game script won’t matter, and Carson Beck could use Allgeier as a safety net. I also expect Arizona to be playing from behind.
TJ Zwarych: While I think SF/DAL is going to be a high-scoring game, I don’t actually love many of the pieces for fantasy purposes. San Francisco spreads out their usage so much that it’s been rare that they’ve had a player hit a must-play ceiling, so while I think someone like Christian McCaffrey is a must-play in cash games, I think it’s viable to fade him in tournaments. CeeDee Lamb is really the only Cowboy I want heavy exposure to, as I think their offense struggles against a 49ers defense that’s healthier than they’ve been in a while. I’ll take some shots on the “backup” RBs like Kaelon Black, Jadarian Price, and Blake Corum while spending up for Lamb and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

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.
