NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: Dallas is favored by a point here, and we’ve finally got a game total over 50. Dallas players are generally cheaper than the Chargers on both sites – with Tony Pollard more expensive than Austin Ekeler, Justin Herbert more expensive than Dak Prescott, etc. So I’ll lean into the savings and play this game for a high-scoring Dallas win.
headChopper: Tons of offense. The kind of game where 1 TD from some random guy as his only catch of the game doesn’t mean much. There will be plenty of scoring in my game script. Dallas was embarrassed last week and will look to prove a point against a porous defense. Meanwhile, Kellen Moore knows this defense and will attack it properly.
kmurray03: There is a 50.5 total on this one, so there should be some solid fantasy production. The Chargers are underdogs here, and that is my favorite script to build around; the Cowboys leading the Chargers in catch-up mode.
Bobby Gomes: The stars are out tonight on both sides. The spread is close, and the total is as big as we’ve seen in Week 6. If I’m building 150 lineups, it makes sense to have balanced builds with the Chargers and Cowboys, as opposed to an onslaught of one team. That said, using CeeDee Lamb against this horrendous Chargers secondary looks like it is going to be a less popular play than Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Tony Pollard. Lamb presents as much upside as all of them on any given week.
