Week 9 NFL DFS: Best Picks, Lineup Advice and Value Plays for Key Matchups
Dallas stack targets Indianapolis
The Cowboys have disappointed so far, but Dak Prescott’s passing production has been strong. He ranks fifth in passing yards and ninth in touchdowns. The Cowboys-Colts game has the main slate’s highest Over/Under total, making it a suggested stacking target. The recommendation pairs Prescott with CeeDee Lamb against Indianapolis.
The Colts have allowed eight completions of at least 40 yards, tied for the second-most in the NFL. They also give up 13.91 yards per catch to opposing wide receivers.
Singletary offers salary relief
Devin Singletary is listed at $5,200 as a way to balance the high salaries of Prescott and Taylor. Tyrone Tracy is on injured reserve, while Cam Skattebo is doubtful.
Singletary could take on a leading role in the Giants’ backfield. The recommendation expects him to have a solid workload even if Skattebo plays.
Defense and matchup notes
The Panthers are recommended at $3,500 as a low-cost defense. Before last week, Denver’s offense had struggled throughout the year, particularly on the road. Denver ranks 30th in total offense, averaging 273.0 yards per game, and 22nd in scoring at 21.5 points per game. Dallas also allowed Arizona 202 rushing yards and a touchdown on 27 carries last week, an average of 7.48 yards per attempt.
The article notes that the Saints’ secondary allows the 10th-most net passing yards per game, at 233.3, and the ninth-highest completion percentage, at 66.1%. Las Vegas has allowed eight tight-end touchdowns, tied for second-most, and 55 receptions, the second-most; tight ends have caught 79.7% of 69 targets against the Raiders.
