NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
kmurray03: I love the shootout build here. Both defenses have had weaknesses exposed often this season, and with the Lions back in their comfortable home dome, I am expecting a lot of points to be put up here.
TastefulTides: Javonte Williams has really taken over Denver’s backfield, averaging around 20 touches per game in their last games. I do expect that type of usage to continue, so I want to be heavy on Williams in AnyFlex / Flex spots. I may try to captain him in one of my three DK teams. I will be running it back with a heavy dose of the Detroit pass attack. St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta will all make my builds.
Bobby Gomes: We have a total sitting at 47 in this one, and the weather will not play a part. The Lions are going to run the football with their two-headed monster behind their elite O-line against a Broncos run defense that is allowing 144 yards per game. The Broncos secondary is ELITE. RW3 is going to lean on Courtland Sutton and the passing game against a middle-of-the-road Lions secondary. A balanced build from both offenses seems safe between two playoff-hungry teams.
TJ Zwarych: The Broncos are much better against the pass than they are the run, and the Lions have recently recommitted themselves to their elite ground game. I expect the Lions to get out to an early lead and ride both of their running backs all game, while the Broncos are forced to pass in catch-up mode.
