MNF DFS Showdown
Cowboys at Chargers (+2)
O/U 50.5

My Favorite Plays

Captain

WR, Keenan  Allen, LAC – Allen is a target machine and will be well rested coming off the bye week. There will be pressure on Justin Herbert, so I am expecting a lot of quick passes out to Allen. 

Flex

QB, Justin Herbert, LAC – The Dallas defense got somewhat exposed last week against the 49ers, as Brock Purdy was able to pick them apart in the middle of the field. Will Kellen Moore try and run the score up on his former team? I see a scenario where Herbert throws 40-50 passes.

RB, Tony Pollard, DAL – The Chargers should be able to get pressure on Dak Prescott, increasing the target share for Pollard.  Pollard should have 20+ touches in this game. If you think Dallas prevails, he is a good captain.

WR, Brandin Cooks, DAL – Cooks has been the victim of the Cowboys defense dominating games, but if this game is high scoring as predicted, Dallas will need to throw the ball.

Bargains

TE, Gerald Everett, LAC  – Don’t expect Everett to have a massive game, but Dallas is vulnerable to TEs and Herbert may need a quick outlet at times.

Commanders signed RB Chase Edmonds, formerly of the Buccnaeers.
Edmonds last played a regular-season snap in 2023 with the Buccaneers. The 29-year-old running back suffered a season-ending knee injury last year toward the end of camp and did not draw much, if any, interest this offseason. This move is somewhat predictable, as Edmonds is a "system-knower" who spent three seasons (2019-2021) playing under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury during their days in Arizona. It seems unlikely that Edmonds would make an immediate impact, but if he looks good in practice, he could eventually be elevated to the roster to serve in a third-down role. As far as fantasy is concerned, there's no reason to stash Edmonds at this time.
