MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Kirk Cousins - QB, $13,800 (DK), $12,000 (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 1,598 passing yards, nine touchdowns, five interceptions
Kirk Cousins has settled on his new team and has had some solid games recently. He gets a juicy matchup against a Seahawk team that has given up the fifth most fantasy points to opposing QBs over the last two weeks. Kirk Cousins just had a monster game against the Buccaneers who is fourth in that category. I like that we get a bit of a discount compared to some of the other players too.
Geno Smith - QB, $13,200 (DK), $14,000 (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 1,778 passing yards, six touchdowns, six interceptions, 146 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown
I believe this is going to be a high-scoring game. That being said, I love the double QB stack for this slate. The Falcons have given up the fifth most fantasy points to WRs over the last four weeks, and that could lead to multiple touchdowns. Geno has had a passing touchdown and over 280+ yards in all but one game this season. I could very well see this being a 20+ fantasy performance from Geno.

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Drake London - WR, $8,600 (DK), $13,500 (FD)
Drake London has been a menace since week two, scoring in the double digits in fantasy since then. With this game anticipating being a shootout, and Drake getting targeted as much as he has(35 times across three games). Drake could be in for a massive weekend, he is also the highest-targeted player in the endzone for the Falcons this season and converting on four of those chances. He is the perfect player to pair with Kirk Cousins.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba - WR, $7,400 (DK), $10,000 (FD)
Jaxon Smith Njigba has been getting the targets this season but hasn't quite capitalized on that. He only has one touchdown but leads the team in endzone targets. This week, he gets a solid matchup. As the slot receiver the majority of the time, he goes up against Dee Alford on the opposing side, who is one of the highest-targeted cornerbacks in the league this year. This should lead to JSN getting his targets let's hope he can make some plays with them.

Other Flex Options: Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, Tyler Lockett
Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Kyle Pitts - TE, $6,400 (DK), $9,500 (FD)
The Kyle Pitts boom game has to come at some point right? The last two games have been promising but he has only seen the endzone once this season. Across the last two games, he has 10 receptions for 158 yards which is solid and he now gets a Seattle team that is giving up the sixth most fantasy points to TEs this season. Kyle has bit a lot of people in the butt this season, so hopefully he does well in this spot.
Tyler Lockett - WR, $6,600 (DK), $8,500 (FD)
Not to sound like a broken record but this will be a high-passing game. Getting all receivers involved is going to be necessary. Seattle has one of the best WR cores in the league, Tyler is as reliable as anyone and finally got his first TD of the season last week. He is averaging nearly eight targets a game and is one the cheapest options on the slate that could potentially have a big game. This is one of those slates where you want to have multiple lineups and get a mix of WRs.
Other Value Plays: Ray-Ray McCloud III, Younghoe Koo
