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

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: I think this game could be higher scoring than the line indicates, with both offenses knowing they need to keep the foot on the gas with the opposing team able to put up points quickly. With Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert out, I like De’Von Achane on the Dolphins side, while on the Bills side, I’ll be targeting plenty of Josh Allen and James Cook.

Notorious: The Dolphins have already ruled out three key players on defense (Bradley Chubb, Xavien Howard, and Jaelan Phillips) and are expected to be without Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert on offense. While I think the Bills could run away with this game, it’s hard to build Buffalo onslaughts. Even if the Dolphins get down big, I could see De’Von Achane and Tyreek Hill racking up production. Essentially, regardless of how the game plays out, I think the balanced builds (in terms of players from each team) are best for this game.

TastefulTides: I was surprised to see this game total under 50. In fact, the total has dropped from it’s opening number. I like the passing attack on both teams. I personally don’t care if Jaylen Ramsey shadows Stefon Diggs; I think Diggs finally has a big game. Jaylen Waddle isn’t expected to play, so Tyreek Hill could see double-digit targets. He can score 2 or 3 TDs by himself.

TJ Zwarych: The Bills are far healthier than the Dolphins, so I expect them to get ahead early with their plethora of weapons, while the Dolphins are forced to play through Tyreek Hill and De’Von Achane as they come from behind.

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?

That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS.
