We are back again, RotoBallers! Last week, we had the right idea, just not the correct execution, as I thought Mike Williams would see a better target share but Aaron Rodgers heavily favored Allen Lazard. Also, the Patriots just plain stink, and what worried me about Rhamondre Stevenson came true and killed his entire production. Hopefully, we have better luck this time around with the Dallas Cowboys, who take on the New York Giants.

MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Dak Prescott - QB, $15,600 (DK), $16,000 (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 851 passing yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions, and 22 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown
Although Prescott was playing from behind in their last game against the Ravens, he did look much better and finally gets a slight break after going against some really good defenses this season. On top of that, with how poor the Cowboys run game has been, I think Dak will be given the green light to throw.
Malik Nabers - WR, $16,200 (DK), $15,000 (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 37 targets, 23 receptions, 271 receiving yards, and three touchdowns
Nabers has been nothing but fantastic this season. He is one of the most targeted players in the NFL right now, averaging just over 12 targets a game. He has finished with 20+ fantasy points this season in his last two games. Although the Cowboys defense has been pretty stout against opposing WRs so far this season, the volume is too much to ignore.
Malik Nabers through 3 weeks:
- 38% target share, 1st in NFL in targets (36)
- 1st in NFL in air yards (384)
- 10.7 ADOT
- WR1 in fantasy https://t.co/ayynslgLqV pic.twitter.com/939HiIf2rC— d4ve (@d_d4ve) September 23, 2024

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Devin Singletary - RB, $8,200 (DK), $12,000 (FD)
Key Stats
- 2023 Stats: 197 rushing yards, two touchdowns, two fumbles, nine receptions for 58 receiving yards
Devin Singletary makes for an interesting play on this slate. I don't love how much he costs but he should be highly considered. The Cowboys so far this season have given up the most fantasy points to opposing RBs by a large margin.
This also makes Daniel Jones interesting with his ability to run and extend plays. Singletary has also become slightly active in the passing game, which adds to his production.
Wan'Dale Robinson- WR, $4,800 (DK), $10,000 (FD)
Robinson has been quite consistent in getting his nine fantasy points a week, but if he can put it all together one week, he could pop off. The Cowboys may put a big focus on Nabers, which could lead to Robinson finding some extra targets. It is more of a risky play but could pay off in GPPs.
Other Flex Options: Brandon Aubrey, Daniel Jones, Jake Ferguson
Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Jalen Tolbert - WR, $5,800 (DK), $8,000 (FD)
Tolbert's production over the last two weeks has pushed him into the WR2 conversation in Dallas. In the last two weeks, he has finished with 11 FP and has even kept even with CeeDee Lamb in targets over that time. Brandin Cooks has taken a hit on his production, which has given Tolbert plenty of room to excel. While Tolbert is still cheap, I will take advantage of it!
Rico Dowdle - RB, $6,400 (DK), $8,000 (FD)
Like I said earlier, the Cowboys' running game has been atrocious, but for his price, Dowdle can be considered. He is starting to get featured in the passing game as he has had seven receptions for 53 yards over the last two games. He still hasn't seen the end zone yet but it could come at any time and I'd like to be ahead of it.
