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

DRAFTKINGS

Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?

Notorious: Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Joe Burrow
headChopper: Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, Tee Higgins
ncorfield8k: Chase Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Rico Dowdle
Davis Mattek: Chase Brown, Rico Dowdle, Tee Higgins

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

Notorious: My favorite game script is a close and competitive game throughout. I’m not particularly interested in the defenses and don’t trust the Bengals’ kicker. I will have a little exposure to Brandon Aubrey but want to be overweight on the skill position players.

headChopper: I expect this to be a competitive game with plenty of offense. Despite being a long shot for the playoffs, the Cowboys are getting healthier on defense and are still playing hard. The Bengals, with even slimmer playoff hopes, seem determined to keep fighting as well. I anticipate a pass-heavy game script from both teams, leading to a strong offensive showing.

ncorfield8k: With the field gravitating to all of the Bengals, I like building Cowboys onslaught lineups. The Cowboys have the tougher defense, and the Cowboys are capable of putting up points even with Cooper Rush at QB. It’s a great matchup for the Bengals passing attack. I like building as though Rush goes on a heater and brings multiple Cowboys pass catchers along for the ride.

Davis Mattek: The Bengals have a 20% chance of making the playoffs if they win out. The Cowboys are eliminated. This is going to be a classic “who cares” bowl, with bad defense and some awesome splash plays on offense.

What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
