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

DRAFTKINGS

Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?

Notorious: DeVon Achane, Jayden Reed, Tyreek Hill
headChopper: Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Jaylen Waddle
ncorfield8k: DeVon Achane, Jayden Reed, Jordan Love
Davis Mattek: DeVon Achane, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

Notorious: Ideally, I would prefer the Dolphins to build a lead early and for the Packers to be forced to air the ball out. I haven’t found myself with a lot of exposure to Josh Jacobs in my early builds. Most are heavy on DeVon Achane at MVP/CPT and then have a lot of players from the Packers passing game.

headChopper: I think there will be some good, efficient offense in this game, but I expect it to move at a slower pace than anticipated. I trust the passing games from both teams more than their running games. While the defenses should play reasonably well, barring a lucky defensive touchdown, I don’t think they’ll generate enough points to be relevant here.

ncorfield8k: These are two talented offenses, and I’ll be building many lineups under the assumption that it will be a high-scoring game with a lot of passing. I like the idea of including defenses in some of these lineups as a way to differentiate from full stacks.

Davis Mattek: Both teams want to run the ball first and control possession. If either team gets behind, sure, they will go pass-heavy, but these are West Coast Bill Walsh acolytes who want to minimize their QB making mistakes out of the pocket. I’ll be very heavy on the cheap Green Bay WRs and DeVon Achane, assuming that both teams want to be right about an even 50/50 run-to-pass ratio.
