See top Thanksgiving Day DFS plays and player props
Thanksgiving Day DFS is always fun for daily fantasy sports enthusiasts. This year's matchups offer plenty of quality options to choose from in DSU contests. We break down all three matchups and give some player props.
Bills and Lions are playing a Thanksgiving Day game with the highest point total (54) at Caesars Sportsbook. The Bills offense should have no issues throwing on the Lions defense, which is ranked last in the NFL in yards allowed.
Bills QB Josh Allen starts $8000. Lions RB D’Andre Swift starts at $5600. Bills WR Gabe Davis starts with $5300, Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown at $6600 and Bills TE Dawson Knox at ($3500).
Lions RB Jamaal Williams, Bills WR Stefon Diggs and Isaiah McKenzie are DFS avoids for Thanksgiving Day.
Bills WR Khalil Shakir is a deep sleeper in DFS.
Giants and Cowboys are playing on Thanksgiving Day. Both offenses have talent. Giants running back Saquon Barkley should have a bounce back from injury. Cowboys offense has improved with Dak Prescott back healthy.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley is the most expensive DFS player. Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott is second, followed by Darius Slayton and Dalton Schultz.
Dak Prescott, Tony Pollard and Kenny Golladay are not good Thanksgiving Day bets.
Giants WR Isaiah Hodgins is a deep sleeper for Thanksgiving Day DFS.
Patriots defense is as dominant as ever. Vikings offense was exposed last week. This game is a tough one for DFS players.
DFS starts: Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers, Vikings WR Adam Thielen, and Vikings QB Kirk Cousins. DFDS sits: Vikings RB Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, TE T.J. Hockenson, DeVante Parker.
Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is a deep sleeper for Thanksgiving Day DFS.
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins had no answers last week in a tough matchup and almost always struggles in prime time matchups. The Patriots defense is as tough as any.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley had his worst game of the year last week against a weak Lions defense. Barkley shined against the Cowboys in his first meeting against them this season.
Dalton Schultz is back to being heavily involved in the receiving game now that Dad Prescott's back under center. The Giants have struggled against tight ends.
