NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: This is projected to be a close, low-scoring game, so lineup construction could be extremely important. The clearest choice is a slow game behind Cleveland’s star RB, Nick Chubb, and pairing him with the Browns D/ST, but I’ll also play some lineups in my multi-entry build centered around the passing games being more involved.

headChopper: Tough teams with tough defenses and points aren’t easy to come by. The Browns have a nice, efficient game from Deshaun Watson to set up the run and move the ball that way, and Kenny Pickett is the catalyst with check-downs to Najee Harris to move the ball on Cleveland.

kmurray03: Cleveland and Pittsburgh just screams low-scoring matchup to me. However, usually in these types of games, we see the public build around kickers and defenses, so I like fading that strategy and building as if there’s a bit more scoring than expected.

Bobby Gomes: Classic AFC North rock fight with a total at sub 40. The Steelers are 8-5 ATS on Monday Night Football since 2014, winning 12 of those games outright. A classic running game and defensive game should be on display.

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