NFL DFS Monday Night Football: Cowboys vs Chargers
This article will help you build your NFL Draftkings DFS Monday Night Football lineups for tonight’s Cowboys-Chargers matchup.
The 2023 Week 6 NFL schedule comes to a close with Monday Night Football. The 2-2 Los Angeles Chargers host the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium.
Today we analyze from a DFS perspective the fantasy player projections from Shawn Childs.
WHO IS SHAWN CHILDS?
Quite simply, Shawn is the brains behind many of the metrics and projections at FullTime Fantasy. He has an extensive history in the fantasy industry, including being enshrined into the NFBC Baseball Hall of Fame. Shawn was previously the No. 2 most accurate DFS ranker and boasts several big DFS wins including over $200,000 last season at Draftkings. Shawn has the proven history and versatility you won’t find ANYWHERE else.
Let’s dive right into the projections typically reserved for Fulltime Fantasy members, by team and by position:
Chargers-Cowboys Projections
KICKERS & DEFENSE/ST
- DAL, Brandon Aubrey 9.0 projected points $5,000.
- LAC, Cameron Dicker 8.0 projected points $4,400.
- DAL DST 6.8 projected points $3,800.
- LAC DST 5.3 projected points $3,200.
Dak Prescott appears to slightly edge out Justin Herbert tonight. Prescott is cheaper ($10,000 to $10,800) and has a higher projected finish (23.89 to 22.15).
At RB, Tony Pollard is the big winner here with a 3-point bonus for 100 yards rushing and 27 projected fantasy points. Ekeler is still in for a solid night but his salary essentially prices him out of play. Pollard is the most valuable RB tonight at $9,600, however for the Captain spot that provides a 1.5X boost, even he takes a back seat to teammate and WR CeeDee Lamb who is also projected for 27 fantasy points but at only a $9,000 price tag. For that reason, Lamb should be your choice at Captain in Showdown slates.
Michael Gallup appears to be the top-value play of the night. He’s projected to produce 9 fantasy points at a mere $2,800.
That leaves us with $14,100 to spend allowing us to squeeze in the services of Justin Herbert who boasts a 2.05 value score, higher than that of Keenan Allen (1.85).
Obviously, feel free to mix and match all of the higher-value players for your own contest selections tonight. For a contrarian build, Pollard or Prescott are acceptable Captains. However, you’ll have to pivot down from Herbert to Keenan Allen to afford the Chargers Defense in the last flex spot.
Happy Lineup Building!
