In an odd turn of events the Thursday Night Football game this week looks like it could be fun to watch. That said the Ravens should make light work of the Bengals, so you’ll need a DraftKings DFS lineup to keep you interested. The Bengals offense seems to be missing Samaje Perine and Hayden Hurst, but 10 weeks into the season they should really have adapted by now. Lamar Jackson has a 7-2 record against the Bengals and since 2019 he has thrown 12 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions against them.
DraftKings Thursday Night Bargains
The Upward Curve DraftKings DFS Pick – Tanner Hudson
He’s the tight end who used to be a quarterback guy. But more importantly than that he only costs $2,600 on DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate this week.
Over the last three games, his targets have increased from 2 to 5 and then to 7 last week. Joe Burrow is obviously feeling happy throwing to him and with the inconsistency the Bengals offensive line has demonstrated recently he’ll be getting the ball out as quickly as possible this week.
The Ravens’ defense has been pretty good at defending all positions so far this season, but they are allowing tight ends to score 9.1 points per game in DraftKings.
The Next Man Up DraftKings DFS Pick – Trenton Irwin
No Tee Higgins and it looks like Andrei Iosivas has a knee injury, but someone is going to have to catch the targets that don’t go to Chase or Boyd. Irwin is just $4,400 on Thursday Night’s DraftKings DFS slate.
In Week 10 Irwin saw his most targets since Week 5. He ended the game with 54 yards and a touchdown of his 4 targets. Irwin figures to lineup opposite Brandon Stephens who is yet to allow a touchdown this season. But Stephens has given up 152 yards after the catch and missed two tackles this season.
The Speculative “It Must Be His Turn, Right?” Pick – Justice Hill
No, it’s not a geographical feature just around the corner from Capitol Hill, he’s the Ravens’ third-choice running back. That might not sound tempting, but after the first two running backs on the depth chart shouldered about 60% of the run game on Sunday Todd Monken’s going to mix it up a bit on the short week.
The Dirt Cheap Longshot DraftKings DFS Pick – Nelson Agholor
Agholor has only made 18 receptions so far this season, but he’s definitely a bargain. He’s only valued at $800 this week on the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown!
If the Bengals can stay within a score of the Ravens, Agholor should play an important role. He’s a deep threat and if the Ravens need to get some chunk plays or want to stretch the Bengals’ defense, he’ll be invaluable. He figures to line up opposite Mike Hilton who is having a very good season, but he’s missed five tackles this season. If Agholor is targeted by Lamar, he has a real chance to take it to the house.
The Must-Have DraftKings DFS Bargain Pick – Ravens D/ST
First for points allowed, second for yards allowed. Fewest TD passes allowed and third for rushing TDs allowed. The Ravens lead the league in sacks and the Bengals offensive line allowed four sacks in Week 10. Plus, he threw two interceptions.
In their last two games, the Ravens defense has scored 29 points and they’re valued at $4,600 on this DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate. That’s the definition of a bargain.
