NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: The Dolphins have all of the name value here, but the Patriots are playing at home and are only 2-point underdogs. Tyreek Hill and/or Jaylen Waddle can absolutely have huge games, but I don’t mind building for a game script where Mac Jones and some of his nearly anonymous pass catchers play well enough to keep this game close.
Notorious: The Patriots got off to a strange start in Week 1. They were down two scores early and were forced to air it out 56 times. While we can expect a much quicker tempo with Bill O’Brien calling plays, I think we see a bigger emphasis on the ground game this week. The Chargers running backs had over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns against Miami in Week 1. I like building lineups with Rhamondre Stevenson and then loading up on the Dolphins passing attack.
Krayton: With a 46.5 total and just a 2.5 spread, I think we see Tua Tagovailoa once again relying heavily on the passing game, with Tyreek Hill having a huge game. But I also like getting exposure to Jaylen Waddle, who I think will see more than the 5 targets he had in Week 1. I do think the Patriots will be looking to get the running game going early, and I see Rhamondre Stevenson having a big game. Rhamondre will be a core piece for me on the NE side, but I also will be very overweight on Tyreek, as he is my favorite CPT / MVP.
TJ Zwarych: The Dolphins passing game is very concentrated, and I’m expecting a fast-paced, high-scoring game with lots of airing it out. Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle will be my main priorities, as I think it’ll be a big day through the air for them. I’ll run it back with some Patriots pass catchers assuming they’re playing from behind.
