Last season, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott put on a brave effort playing on an injured knee, and in two games against the New York Giants he rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns. Cowboys running back Tony Pollard was just as effective on more limited occasions, rushing for 149 yards on just 26 attempts. With starting quarterback Dak Prescott out (thumb), should you consider one or both backs in your NFL DFS rosters for Monday Night Football when the two teams meet again? Dallas wide receiver Michael Gallup is out with an ACL injury, so where should you look in Monday’s NFL DFS roster? Before you make your NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Giants on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to see NFL DFS tips, strategy and player projections from SportsLine Fantasy daily expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary DFS professional player with over $2 million in career earnings. His methodology has led to huge wins on FanDuel and DraftKings. He won two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair of top 10s in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His rosters have also finished in the top 1% in over a dozen other tournaments.
It uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every instant NFL action, taking into account factors such as games, statistical trends, and injuries. This allows him to find the best DFS values which he only shares with SportsLine members.
Last week, McClure featured Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams in his Thursday Night NFL DFS picks for Los Angeles against Kansas City. The result: Without Keenan Allen (hamstring) available, Williams gained 113 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Chiefs.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to Giants vs Cowboys and locked down his top fantasy football daily picks. You can only see his picks and analysis on SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Monday night is Dallas wide receiver Noah Brown. It was a surprise for the Cowboys in the absence of Michael Gallup.
After two games, Brown is second on the team in targets with 14 and has a clear rapport with quarterback Cooper Rush, who is leaving for Prescott. He’s already 30 yards away from setting a career-high in single-season passing yards and has 159 on 10 total receptions with a touchdown. The Giants’ defense has been stingy against opposing receivers this season, but has yet to face a team with Dallas’ wide receiver roster.
Another part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy includes lining up Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. Although he had an unremarkable performance last week against Carolina, for the season he completed 70.9% of his passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns. During his career against the Cowboys, Jones completed 61.2% of his passes for 776 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions with 21 rushing attempts for 78 yards.
Dallas has questions about its defense this week after linebacker and leading pass thrower Micah Parsons was sidelined with illness and starting safety status Jayron Kearse (knee) is in doubt. Last season, Dallas allowed opposing quarterbacks to rush for 315 yards and four touchdowns. You can see the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS tips here.
