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

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: I think the 49ers should win this one pretty easily, but as we saw in San Francisco’s last game, anything can happen. I’ll play this game for a 49ers win but Minnesota keeping it closer than the field expects.

headChopper: My favorite build is a chalky one. The 49ers win this in a blowout, affording them the opportunity to use some lower-leverage players in the 4th quarter. My reasoning is that the 49ers are the best team in the NFL (in my opinion), and the Vikings have yet to truly realize the massive loss that Justin Jefferson is. Both factors will show up tonight.

kmurray03: I am with Chop and the field on this one. I think the 49ers win without much struggle. I think we see more production from the 49ers side by quite a bit, so I like the 49ers onslaught build.

Bobby Gomes: The 49ers have won six straight primetime games and look to bounce back this week as favorites on the road. I lean towards 49ers onslaughts, with Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle. I think the Vikings will keep it closer than the line suggests, allowing us to use a couple of their value weapons in builds. On DK, Jordan Addison jumps out, and T.J. Hockenson, K.J. Osborn, and Brandon Powell allow us to spend up elsewhere.

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?
