NFL DFS: Sunday Night Football Showdown Week 5
SNF DFS Showdown
Cowboys at 49ers (-3.5)
O/U 45
Tonight we are going to find out if Dallas is as good as everyone thinks. Vegas has set the line to be a mid scoring, but close game.
The biggest question is do you rost Christian McCaffrey in the Captain spot? He is the most expensive player at a whopping $17,700. On FanDuel the answer is yes, on DraftKings I just can’t do it. It limits the rest if the roster too much for my taste. If you can make it work do it, he is a great player.
My Favorite Plays
Captain
WR, Brandon Aiyuk. – Other than CMC, Aiyuk is Brock Purdy’s favorite target. He is averaging 7 targets per game, has 2 of 3 games over 100 yards and 2 TD. Dallas will focus on stopping CMC, hopefully eaving Aiyuk open.
Flex
QB, Brock Purdy – Tonight will be the first big challenge of the season for Purdy. History shows contest winners, especially with a WR in captain, have a QB in the Flex. I think this system is built for Purdy and he will have another steady game passing to CMC and Aiyuk.
RB, Tony Pollard – Pollard is the best offensive weapon on the Cowboys and should see the most touches. SF will pressure Dak, forcing check downs.
WR, Brandin Cooks
TE, Jake Ferguson
DEF San Francisco
Value/Sleeper
K, Brandon Aubrey – He has scored double-digit points in all 4 games this year. In a defensive battle, this could win you some money.
