Top DraftKings DFS Monday Night Football Plays<\/span><\/h2>\n

The “Who’s Going To Stop Him?” DraftKings DFS Pick – Donald Parham <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

He should be back from his wrist injury this week. But more importantly, he\u2019s valued at just $3,000 on this DraftKings DFS slate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Donald Parham<\/a> has seen five red zone targets this season, the same number as Dalton Schultz, but Schultz has played one game more than Parham. Parham is 6′-7″ tall too, so it\u2019s virtually impossible to defend against him at the back of the endzone. The Cowboys are allowing 12.8 DraftKings points per game to tight ends this season, making him a smart DFS play.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The DraftKings DFS “Surely He’ll Come Good” Pick – Michael Gallup\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

On that theme, only nine teams have conceded more DraftKings points than the Chargers this season. Michael Gallup<\/a> figures to be lined up opposite Michael Davis this week. Davis hasn\u2019t had the greatest start to the 2023 season. He\u2019s allowing 71.9% of the passes thrown in his direction to be caught. He\u2019s also allowing a 133.9 passer rating when he\u2019s been targeted. And he\u2019s conceded three touchdowns in the three games he\u2019s started this season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gallup only costs $3,500 making him the sixth most expensive receiver in this game. He\u2019s caught 15 of his 22 targets so far this season and he\u2019s averaging 12 yards per reception, so he\u2019s definitely a bargain.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Expensive But Worth It Pick – Jake Ferguson <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Only CeeDee Lamb has seen more targets for the Cowboys than Ferguson has this season. He\u2019s also the tight end who has seen the most red zone targets in the league. Chargers are ranked 12<\/span>th<\/span> against tight ends this season,\u00a0they are scoring more than 10 points per game on DraftKings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At $3,900 on the DraftKings DFS slate, he is the most expensive tight end, but he averages 2 points more per game than the second-best tight end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The DraftKings DFS Boom or Bust Pick – Derius Davis<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Derrius Davis<\/a> is a real \u201copportunity vs. ability” kind of prospect and that\u2019s why he\u2019s only $3,300 on this DraftKings DFS slate. He\u2019s only seeing 2.3% of the Chargers targets in 2023, but he\u2019s third in the league when it comes to yards after the catch. His 11.3 yards per reception are behind only DeAndre Carter and Christian Watson. He\u2019s yet to drop a catch in 2023.<\/span> He’s only had four carries as a running back, but he’s averaging over 15 yards per attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only two Chargers caught more passes than Davis in their last game. If he gets on the field against the Cowboys, he\u2019ll either be up against Jourdan Lewis or a safety. Lewis has allowed 35 yards after the catch on six completed passes this season. And the Cowboys safeties have allowed 134 and 188 passing yards respectively this season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The “It’s A Long Shot, But It Might Just Work” Pick – Deuce Vaughn <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

At $2,200 Vaughn is an absolute bargain, especially with the prospect of Ka\u2019 Vontae Turpin missing this game through injury.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vaughn has only had 20 touches this season, but he has recorded an 11-yard reception and a 13-yard run. Turpin has been the Cowboys’ go-to guy on gadget plays and when they need someone to inject some blistering pace. Vaughn offers similar qualities and he had 13 touches in his last two games.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
