Monday Night Football FanDuel Picks NFL

The Cowboys and Giants Week 3 Monday Night Football showdown leaves a lot to be desired from a DFS perspective, but if there's a FanDuel single-game contest, then there's always a chance to make some money. Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, and even Tony Pollard are obvious picks in what figures to be an offensive slog-fest, but we're applying a risky strategy and fading all three RBs in favor of both QBs and a couple pa s-catchers. Crazy? Maybe, but if the running games are held down, we should be in the running for some daily fantasy football cash at the Devontae Cacok Jersey end of the night.Before we break down our picks, here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests:The point total for the "MVP" is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn't cost any additional money like the "Captain" in DraftKings Showdown contests.FanDuel's default scoring ishalf-point PPR andfour-point pa sing TDs.Unlike on DraftKings, FanDuel features bonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games.MORE FD SINGLE GAME: MVP (1.5x points) Jerry West Jersey : QB Cooper Rush, Cowboys ($14,000)We're trying to be contrarian with our MVP pick, a suming most people will go with Saquon Barkley or one of Dallas' RBs. Quarterbacks always have a lot of upside, though, and Rush proved capable last week against Cincinnati, throwing for 235 yards and a score. With no obvious holes to exploit in either defense, we're sticking with both QBs, fading the RBs, and hoping for more pa sing than expected.FLEX QB Daniel Jones, Giants ($15,000)With Jones, you get the added bonus of a potential rushing score, making him the best Giants' one-off if you're doing a Cowboys-heavy build. He's limited turnovers this year and spread the ball around, and given his running ability, Markieff Morris Jersey he's always a candidate for an effective DFS day.MORE MNF: | FLEX WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys ($13,000)Lamb is Rush's top receiver (11 targets in each of the first two games), so it Montrezl Harrell Jersey only makes sense to stack him here. He's by far the highest-upside pa s-catcher on either team, so he's a must for this type of build.FLEX Cowboys D/ST ($8,500)Even though Jones and the Giants have turned it over just twice in two games, they've still allowed eight sacks. Dallas' elite defense figures to cause some problems for the Giants, so we're hedging against a Jones dud with this pick. Both can have decent nights, too, if things break right. The big thing will be the Cowboys stopping Barkley. If they can do it, we'll be in good shape.FLEX TE Jake Ferguson, Cowboys ($7,500)Obviously, we're counting on Dalton Schultz (knee) sitting out. If he does, Ferguson figures to see the bulk of the TE snaps -- and we all know how much Dallas loves throwing to its TEs. This is the type of "Who?" pick that often comes through in these prime-time single-gamers, so we're going all-in on our strategy and hoping for a short score or a bunch of Anthony Davis Jersey short catches.If Schultz is active, we'll simply pivot to him for $9,500, putting us right at our cap limit.
