The Lions and the Cowboys<\/a> are both in the top 5 for points scored in 2023, so there should be plenty of DraftKings DFS bargains to be had here. Only the Dolphins have scored more rushing touchdowns than the Lions and nobody has caught more touchdown passes than the Cowboys. With that sort of build-up, this game can only end in disappointment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a difference between the defenses though. The Lions are allowing 24 points per game, the Cowboys are allowing just 19. Both teams have made 13 interceptions, so this could be a close game. The Cowboys are undefeated at home this season and the Lions have lost 2 road games. But they were against the Ravens and Bears, who have quietly become turnover specialists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Detroit has secured the NFC North title. But there\u2019s no point in them resting players this week because wins in the final two could secure a bye week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday Night DraftKings DFS\u00a0Bargains<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Speedster DraftKings DFS Pick – Jameson Williams<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Williams has a rollercoaster DraftKings DFS season. He scored 13.3 points in Week 6 and followed that up with 0.0 points in Week 7. That\u2019s why he costs just $3,400 this week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams will mostly line up opposite the hawk-iest of all ball hawks, DaRon Bland. Like all ball hawks Bland\u2019s pass defense is very boom or bust. He\u2019s made 8 interceptions this year. But he\u2019s also allowing 12.2 yards per completion. He\u2019s also conceded 4 touchdowns this season, the most by a Cowboy defender. If Ben Johnson and Jared Goff feel brave, they might test out Bland this week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Touchdown Machine Pick – Kavontae Turpin<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

CJ Gardner-Johnson’s return might mean that CeeDee Lamb has some elite-level coverage to deal with in this game. So Dak might have to spread the ball around a bit more than usual. Usually, that means either Turpin<\/a> or Tolbert will see some extra targets. But Mike McCarthy may well want to get both of them involved more this week. It is possible these teams could meet early in the playoffs, so the Cowboys won\u2019t want to display their playbook just 2 weeks out from the business end of the season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turpin has scored 3 receiving touchdowns and a rushing touchdown this season. And he\u2019s averaging 10.5 yards per touch. If Turpin lines up as a receiver he could be opposite Will Harris (he could even be lined up on a linebacker or covered by a safety). Harris has allowed 83.3% of passes thrown his way to be completed! And he\u2019s conceding 15.7 yards per completion. That looks like a favorable matchup. Turpin costs $2,000 this week, the <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Big Play Waiting To Happen Pick – Jalen Tolbert<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tolbert has had 3 fewer touches of the ball than Turpin.\u00a0He\u2019s averaging 13.2 yards per touch though. The Cowboys don\u2019t use him in the run game like Turpin, but he has caught a touchdown pass this season. This week Tolbert could line up opposite Khalil Dorsey. Dorsey is only allowing 50% of passes to be completed but the ones that are completed are going for an average of 16.5 yards! There\u2019s a real chance that Tolbert could have a big play in this game.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He only costs $2,400 on the DraftKings DFS slate. Seven receivers cost more than Tolbert!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Versatile DraftKings DFS Pick – Kalif Raymond<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Like Williams Raymond is a threat to catch the ball or run it in this Lions offense, but he\u2019s $1,200 cheaper than Williams. Raymond has had 39 touches of the ball this season. And he averages 12.9 yards per touch. Raymond has seen 7 targets in his last 3 games and he\u2019s caught 6 of them. He also ran the ball once for 8 yards last week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raymond could be defended by Jourdan Lewis this week. Lewis has conceded 3 touchdowns this season. And is allowing 11.2 yards per completion. Nobody on the Cowboys\u2019 roster has allowed more yards after the catch than Lewis\u2019 206!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Value DraftKings DFS Pick – Brandon Aubrey<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

This kid is absolute money. And he costs very little money on the DraftKings DFS slate this week. Aubrey hasn\u2019t missed a field goal all season and he\u2019s kicked 93.3% of the extra points he\u2019s attempted too. Aubrey will cost $4,800 on the DraftKings DFS slate and he\u2019s averaging 10.7 DraftKings points per game this season.<\/span><\/p>\n
