NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: Zach Wilson finally gets his moment to shine. The Chargers have the worst pass defense in the league, allowing 297.4 passing yards per game, and the former #2 overall pick gets a home game against them after a string of relatively tough defenses. Jets win behind Zach Wilson and Garrett Wilson, with Breece Hall running out the clock.
headChopper: The total on this game is only 40.5, but I think we could see a lot more points than that. It feels like Zach Wilson is settling into his own skin as a QB and figuring out what he can and cannot do at the NFL level. This Chargers defense is very beatable. While the Jets defense is good, this Chargers offense will still be able to move the ball. It’s just a matter of finishing in the red zone.
kmurray03: Despite just the 3.5-point spread, I prefer the Chargers onslaught build. There is a lot of value on the Chargers side, and even if the Chargers don’t dominate, they can definitely still produce enough to make the Chargers onslaught builds work.
Bobby Gomes: My lean is that the game will exceed its implied point total, and Zach Wilson will be utilizing Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall in the passing game as they attack the Chargers’ weak defense. The Jets are a top-5 pass defense, but the Chargers should use Austin Ekeler in a volume role on the ground and with dump-offs. Ekeler will be a staple in my lineups given he is the safest way to attack the Jets. The combination of all four of these players in the same build is pricey, with little salary left for two spots, so I’ll be mixing-and-matching these Jets players with Ekeler.
