NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: I expect the Rams to get the win and control this game behind Kyren Williams. The Saints allow the 9th-most rushing yards per game and the 6th-fewest passing yards per game, so I see a scenario where the Rams score early and then are able to run Williams while the Saints have to pass to catch up.
headChopper: My favorite game script is that the Rams have a typical efficient offense and move the ball well on the ground and in the air. The Saints have to rely on the big plays, as they aren’t able to consistently move it as well as the Rams. When healthy, the Rams have a lot of skill weapons. They also have an underrated defense, which could give the Saints issues.
kmurray03: My favorite build is the shootout game script. This game features plenty of strong fantasy producers, and although the Saints are underdogs, the Rams defense has not been overly impressive. I think both offenses will have success and that we will see some strong production.
TJ Zwarych: The Saints defense is struggling with injuries and has had a tough time with running backs and slot receivers all season long. I expect Kyren Williams and Cooper Kupp to have massive games while the Saints spread it around to try to keep up.
