NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: Detroit should control this game from the start, as I think the Raiders are worse than their 3-4 record indicates, with the teams they have beaten combining for a 7-16 record. Rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs is emerging for the Lions and should get plenty of work if Detroit is winning this game, with David Montgomery sitting.
headChopper: A shootout with some good offense. Jimmy Garoppolo comes back, and the Raiders passing game clicks in come-from-behind mode. Jared Goff at home is always a thing, and he leads this offense to a very efficient night.
kmurray03: I think Detroit is the much, much better team here. They continuously perform better at home as well and coming off of their bad loss last week, they should have a chip on their shoulder. I think they are able to dominate the game and the Raiders end up playing catch up.
Bobby Gomes: The point total tonight sits around 46.5 with Lions as more than a touchdown favorite at home. There are several fantasy studs on both sides of the ball, which encourages me to have balanced builds with players from both teams. I will be overweight on Davante Adams, and Jakobi Meyers, as the Raiders are an inferior team that will be facing a negative game scripts. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the game go over the expected point total tonight.
What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
