NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football (Bengals vs. Rams)

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: With Joe Burrow looking likely to give it a go despite his strained calf, I think DFS players will go overweight on the Bengals. This game still has a close 3-point spread, however, and I’ll aim to play for a Rams win behind their surprise workhorse RB, Kyren Williams.

headChopper: Shootout. Passing games are doing well and putting up points. The Bengals have their backs up against a wall at 0-2. I think they are sharp and get the offense rolling, and that causes Matthew Stafford to air it out more in return.

kmurray03: This game has a total of 44 points right now, but I like the game-script of more points being scored than expected. The Bengals offense has really struggled, and some of that may be because of the Joe Burrow injury, but the Rams offense currently runs the most plays per game (a whopping 78 plays per game). The Rams are playing extremely up-tempo, and if both offenses can play efficiently, we could see a ton of points put up here.

Bobby Gomes: A Bengals 4-2 or 5-1 build seems like the way to go for tonight’s Showdown. I don’t see a path to many Rams 3-3 builds, or the Rams winning the game, so I am going to run a Bengals-heavy script.

Which players will you restrict from appearing together often due to possible negative correlation?
