Monday Night Showdown

Divisional Rivals Bears and Vikings get a prime time matchup in Minnesota. No major fireworks are expected as Vegas sits this game at a 43.5 points and the Vikes giving 3 points at home.

When I first saw this game I expected more of a 5-6 point favorite in Minnesota but perhaps with the recent loss to Denver and the surprising competitive show of the Bears in Detroit, Vegas expects this to be close.

I like lower scoring showdowns as it let’s you focus on main players and takes the pressure off finding extreme dart plays to be in contention. Chicago is a really easy target tree and it’s Fields, Moore and Kmet. Sure you can try out a Chicago RB but the Vikings have been limiting the ground game well. I have to find a way to get both QB’s and DJ Moore in my lineup then I am rotating the players around them.

CPT Plays
DJ Moore is by far my favorite
Kmet
Either QB
Either K
*yes you can CPT a Defense…. gross

Flex Plays
Both Kickers are legit options
Roschon over Herbert if you are going CHI RB
Mattison – Might even sneak a CPT spot in if I am doing 20 lineups… he is getting the touches, eventually he has to pay off…
Chandler
Hockenson
Addison
Osborn

Value Plays
Josh Oliver – seems the Vikings have been doing more double TE without JJ and he is seeing looks.
St. Brown
Powell – but very sparingly.. I really dislike his projections

Punt Play
Tyson Scott – averaging 2.5 targets the last 6 games.

I really hate value and punt plays this week so I am really looking mostly at single entry and double ups…

Overvalued Guys
Hockenson
Herbert
Powell

Undervalued Guys
Mattison
Osborn
Both Kickers

Favorite Lineup
Moore (CPT)
Dobbs
Fields
Kmet
Osborn
Scott
