NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday Night Football
What is your favorite gamescript build and why?
squirrelpatrol: This is a matchup of two excellent teams who will both be in the playoffs for the NFC. I like the passing games in this matchup, and I think we’ll get a high-scoring game, with my preferred spend-ups being the star WRs from each team – CeeDee Lamb for the Cowboys and Amon-Ra St. Brown for the Lions.
headChopper: Lots of points with efficient offense that could come from running or passing from either team. In the end, the Dallas defense makes a few more plays and wins the game.
kmurray03: There should be a lot of points in this one with a 52.5-point total, and there are some really strong fantasy producers on both sides. I prefer the game script where both teams find success with their RBs. That doesn’t mean the top WRs won’t perform well, but I do think the RBs will be quite unique here.
Bobby Gomes: My favorite game script is a balanced build, as the game total is at 52.5 with some fireworks to be expected. The Lions will be shorthanded in their secondary, and CeeDee Lamb will be targeted often, as he was quieted in the 2nd half against the Dolphins. Ideally, the Lions use Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery to keep Dak Prescott on the sideline. Unfortunately for the Lions, the Cowboys have the 3rd-highest implied team total in Week 17, and Jared Goff may be forced to play pitch-and-catch with Amon-Ra St.Brown. I will be overweight on Dak, as it is a get-right spot prior to the playoffs.
