NFL DFS: Monday Night Football Showdown

Monday Night Football Preview

Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
O/U: 50

Get ready for an exciting matchup on Monday Night Football as the Ravens take on the Buccaneers. With oddsmakers anticipating a high-scoring affair, our focus will be on playmakers while largely sidelining defenses and kickers.

For the Captain/MVP slot, I believe it ultimately comes down to just a few key players. My top pick is Derrick Henry, who has found new life in Baltimore, averaging an impressive 24.1 DK points per game. While Lamar Jackson is always a strong captain candidate, I’m leaning away from him on DraftKings due to his high price tag.

Both teams struggle defensively against the pass, making Chris Godwin and Zay Flowers top wide receiver options for the captain spot. Mike Evans is also a strong choice, thanks to his explosive ceiling.

For value plays, consider the tight ends, Cade Otton and Mark Andrews, who could provide solid returns.

Player Rankings

Captain/MVP Picks:

  1. Derrick Henry
  2. Chris Godwin
  3. Zay Flowers
  4. Lamar Jackson
  5. Mike Evans
