NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: My favorite game script is a game that Carolina wins and the game goes over the point total. I think people will look at the total and offenses (both teams are bottom 10 in passing yards per game) and assume we see single-digit points from both teams. But Carolina allows the most points per game in the NFL, and the Bears allow the 5th-most, so we could see some offense. This game is a toss-up, but I think ownership will lean Bears, so I’ll go overweight Bryce Young and the Panthers.
headChopper: I actually think that, despite the terribly low 39.5 total, there could be some points here. Bryce Young gets a matchup that he should be able to exploit. I think a WR like DJ Moore could give this defense fits on the other side. I am building with the mindset of getting 3 TDs from each offense.
kmurray03: My favorite game-script build is one that is low-scoring and ugly. This may be the worst fantasy matchup not only of this season but over the last couple of seasons. The expected production from both QBs is extremely low, despite neither defense being all that great.
TJ Zwarych: We have two awful defenses and two awful offenses going head-to-head. I think this one will be low scoring, while Adam Thielen and DJ Moore each pile up lots of yards.
