Week 13\u2019s DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate features two teams who play back-to-back Thursday games and miss out on a mini-Bye. The Seahawks<\/a> and Cowboys<\/a> both played on Thanksgiving with mixed results. The Seahawks look like the Pacific Northwest\u2019s answer to the Jets. The defense is very talented and will do everything humanly possible to keep the team in the game. But the offense, hmmm. Without Kenneth Walker III they couldn\u2019t really establish the run against the 49ers (not many can). And there\u2019s no guarantee he\u2019ll be available this week, so that makes it tricky to expect much offense from the Seahawks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cowboys on the other hand have coped with their injuries quite well, and they\u2019ve currently got 10 players on IR. In Week 12 the five others dealt with issues too. Dan Quinn\u2019s Cowboys defense is ranked 13<\/span>th<\/span> for rushing yards allowed and 2<\/span>nd<\/span> for passing yards. So, Geno Smith will have to be at his very best to get anything going.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DraftKings Bargains for Thursday Night Football<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Sneaky Good Yet Underused DraftKings DFS Pick –\u00a0 <\/span>Noah Fant<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cowboys are allowing 11.6 DraftKings DFS points per game to tight ends! But the Seahawks don\u2019t use their tight ends. With their best running back injured they should. And Geno Smith is still recovering from an injury (or two, he\u2019s been beaten up this season) so the Seahawks need to get the ball out of his hand quicker. Fant<\/a> costs $3,200 in the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown this week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fant has caught passes in every game since Week 2. But he\u2019s yet to record more than 64 receiving yards in a single game. He\u2019s averaging 13.7 yards per catch though, so they really, really should use him more. Only D.K. Metcalf has a better average for the Seahawks offense in 2023.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Really Cheap Bargain DraftKings DFS Pick – Will Dissly<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If Fant is underused, then Dissly is criminally underused. He\u2019s only caught 10 passes this season. But the Cowboys are allowing 11.6 DraftKings DFS points to tight ends per game this season. And nobody has conceded more receiving touchdowns to tight ends in 2023. They are level with the Saints, Eagles, and Jets who have also allowed 6. On average tight ends are gaining 10.3 yards per catch against the Cowboys defense.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dissly has caught 4 of his 7 targets in his last 4 games. He is averaging 10.8 yards per catch this season, but in those 4 games, he\u2019s averaged 13 yards per catch. He\u2019ll only cost $1,400 on the DraftKings DFS slate this week, if they actually utilize him, he\u2019ll be well worth it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rising Star DraftKings DFS Pick – Jalen Tolbert<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

On the subject of players who are making the most of limited opportunities, Jalen Tolbert is averaging 11.4 yards per reception this season. But he\u2019s only had 16 catches this season. That does make him Dak Prescott\u2019s favorite receiver outside of the big 3 though. But with the makeup of the Cowboys’ offense, he\u2019s still behind tight end Jake Ferguson and Tony Pollard. Tolbert has found himself being targeted more in the last 4 weeks though. He\u2019s seen 18 of his 28 targets since the 5<\/span>th<\/span> of November.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Seahawks have conceded 11 touchdowns to receivers in 2023, that\u2019s the 6<\/span>th<\/span> most in the league. And they are allowing ab average of 37.3 DraftKings DFS points per game to wide receivers. The Cowboys should score a few touchdowns this week and there\u2019s no reason Tolbert won\u2019t catch one. And at just $3,000 in the DraftKings DFS slate, he\u2019s definitely a bargain.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Consistent Rookie Pick – Brandon Aubrey<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

He might have missed three extra points this season, but he\u2019s yet to miss a field goal. 22 of 22 is a great start to a career. 6 of his field goals have been from 40 yards or more, bizarrely only 1 has been between 40 and 49 yards while 5 of them have been from more than 50 yards! Aubrey is $4,800 and he\u2019s averaging 10 points per game in DraftKings this season. That\u2019s more than Jake Ferguson who costs $9,300 this week!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The “Are You Sure He’s A Bargain?” DraftKings DFS Pick – Rico Dowdle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Like Jalen Tolbert Dowdle has seen more game time as the season has progressed. He\u2019s had 23 of his 58 rushing attempts in the last 3 games. Over those games, he\u2019s averaging 4.9 yards per carry. He\u2019s also caught all 3 of his targets in those three games. He\u2019s averaging 9.2 DraftKings points in those three games. Dowdle will cost $6,300 this week, which is technically a bit pricey for a bargain. But his matchup with the Seahawks defense is mouthwatering.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Seahawks have allowed 12 rushing touchdowns and 2 receiving touchdowns to running backs so far this season. And running backs are scoring an average of 26.7 DraftKings DFS points per game against the Seahawks in 2023. Only the Broncos, Cardinals, and Panthers have been worse.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
