NFL DFS: Thursday Night Football Showdown

[email protected] October 10, 2024

Tonight, we have an exciting matchup as the San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. The over/under for this game is set at 49 points, promising plenty of action.

When it comes to selecting a captain, I recommend focusing on either Kenneth Walker or Jordan Mason. Both teams heavily rely on their running games, and they rank average in defending against the run. As a result, the running backs are likely to receive the most touches in this matchup. Additionally, George Kittle is off to a strong start this season and will be up against a Seattle defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to tight ends, making him a solid captain choice for 49ers passing stacks.

Captain Options:

Kenneth Walker
Jordan Mason
George Kittle

Flex Options:

Geno Smith
Brandon Aiyuk
DK Metcalf
Brock Purdy
Deebo Samuel
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Value Picks:

Tyler Lockett
Jawan Jennings
Zach Charbonnet
Noah Fant

For my main lineup tonight, I envision a scenario dominated by the running backs. Expect a lot of short to medium passes and plenty of running plays, particularly as both teams are known to run the ball at the goal line.

Suggested Lineup:

CPT: Kenneth Walker
Flex: Jordan Mason
Flex: Zach Charbonnet
Flex: Noah Fant
Flex: Geno Smith

This approach leverages the strengths of both teams, maximizing your chances for success. Good luck!

Michael Pittman caught both of his targets for 19 yards in the Colts' Week 10 win over the Falcons.
Tyler Warren operated as the team's top pass-catcher in this game, easily leading the way with 10 targets. Alec Pierce was also heavily involved, seeing seven looks. There simply weren't enough touches to go around with those two players stepping up and Jonathan Taylor seeing 35 touches. Better days should be ahead for Pittman, but an increase in looks for Warren could cut into his role. He will get at least one more week in the WR2 ranks when the Colts return from their upcoming bye.
