NFL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Week 15 (Monday Night Football)

Rank your three favorite players for cash games, in order:

What is your favorite correlation and why?

Notorious: Aaron Jones + Vikings D/ST – The Bears played well against the Vikings in their matchup a few weeks ago, but that game was in Chicago. The Vikings now get to face them at home. We know they love to blitz, and they come into the game as 7-point favorites. They should be able to get pressure on Caleb Williams in a favorable game script. This also bodes well for Jones, who draws one of the biggest run-funnel matchups in the league. The Bears are top 10 in most pass defense metrics and bottom 10 in most run defense metrics. Jones is a good bet for 20+ touches in a good matchup at home.

Stevietpfl: Desmond Ridder + Brock Bowers + Jakobi Meyers – If I’m going to go for it, I’m just going to do it all the way. I’m going to be overweight on the Raiders passing attack. Atlanta is 31st in pressuring the quarterback, which is a plus for a younger quarterback. Since Week 7, Atlanta has allowed 275.2 passing yards per game, which is the 4th most in the NFL in that span. I love the revenge narrative for Ridder and his potential to hurt the playoff chances for the Falcons. Bowers and Meyers should account for most of the targets, and like I said, if I’m going to do it, I’m just going to do it all the way.

Krayton: Sam Darnold + Justin Jefferson and/or Jordan Addison – This is definitely a tougher matchup for Darnold, who is coming off a game against the Falcons where he had 347 yards and 5 TDs. His ceiling at QB is the highest on the slate, and I really like getting exposure to both Jefferson and Addison to pair with him. Aaron Jones is looking to be a popular play on the Minnesota side, but give me the upside of Darnold, JJ, and Addison. JJ hasn’t had as many ceiling games recently, and given that it is a tough matchup against the Bears, he is coming in with lower pOWN% than he should for just a 2-game slate.

ebeimfohr: Desmond Ridder + Brock Bowers – RIDDER REVENGE! I’m assuming Ridder will get the start, and while the revenge is a hilarious narrative for this game, it’s also a fantastic spot. The Falcons pass defense is putrid. They get absolutely zero pass rush and continue to be shredded through the air. Sincere McCormick should be plenty popular, but their passing game stands out as an elite spot, not only because of the matchup but because of the condensed target tree and affordable prices. Bowers is the one tight end on this slate most likely to put any fader in a coffin, and he also should be the safety valve for a sketchy talent like Ridder.

Davis Mattek: Sam Darnold + Justin Jefferson + T.J. Hockenson – The Bears started out the season quite well on defense and were #2 overall in defensive DVOA at the midway point. It feels that the market still sort of believes that is true despite the Bears giving up huge fantasy performances to the 49ers, Lions, and these same Vikings in the last 3 games. Darnold is not an uber-efficient QB, which actually helps for fantasy football. The Vikes are also a positive PROE team in the red zone, which helps our expectation for the passing-game weapons.
