I want to start off this article by saying you must have the absolute nuts to win the top prize up top on large field GPPs. There is no room for mistakes with so many entries in these contests. If you think you are going to win it all by playing a combo of the top seven guys in the player pool, you are not. If a combo of a bunch of guys you have heard of before is indeed the best scoring lineup, you will most likely tie for first. If that sounds good to you, then go for it. It will be profitable if you nail it, but for me I like to be a little different on these slates. I will be making multiple teams and taking long shots on a few cheap guys.
Leaving cash on the table in these NFL DFS contests is fine too. This makes your lineup even more unique and lower owned because a lot of amateurs will be pulling their hair out to use their entire salary.
That all being said, I have looked at every possible player that can get on the field and listed my picks below.
The NFL DFS Week 4 Thursday Night Showdown Picks
MVP: Davante Adams ($14,000 FD)
The Eagles secondary is towards the bottom of the NFL and certainly worse than the Green Bay Packers. I expect the Packers to win this game by throwing the ball. Adams has not broke out this season, but tonight is the night. Aaron Rodgers will focus heavily on his most reliable receiver in Prime Time and seal the victory for the Packers at home.
MVP Pivots: Aaron Rodgers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling
NFL DFS Flex Options:
Listed in order of preference, with price factored in.
- Aaron Rodgers ($15,000 FD) Rodgers in Prime Time against a poor pass defense. Lock it in.
- Marquez Valdez-Scantling ($11,000 FD) Green Bay Packers WR2. Looks like he has made significant strides since last season. Adams, Rodgers or MVS is you MVP.
- Mason Crosby ($9,500 FD) Green Bay Kicker and I expect them to score more points.
- Aaron Jones ($13,000 FD) I know he has a shoulder “issue” but all reports suggest he is fine and going to play. He is my fifth favorite Packer.
- Zach Ertz ($11,500 FD) Elite tight end that is almost guaranteed the most targets in the Eagles pass game.
- Alshon Jeffrey ($12,000 FD) He is the Eagles WR1 when healthy, and he looks like he is going to play.
- Carson Wentz ($14,500 FD) The Eagles will probably be forced to throw it more than run it.
- Miles Sanders ($10,000 FD) The Packers gave up 81 yards and two touchdowns to Phillip Lindsey last week. Unfortunately Sanders splits time.
- Mack Hollins ($8,000 FD) He has stepped up in the absence of Jackson. Might continue to get looks if Jeffrey is used as more of a decoy.
Punt:
- Geronimo Allison ($7,000 FD) He is cheap for GB WR3. He hasnt done much this season but things can change rapidly in the NFL. He plays in the slot for the most part, which is a good place to attack the EaglesJ
- Jamaal Williams ($9,000 FD) He is a little pricey. Only way he pays off is if Jones is restricted.
- Dallas Goedert ($5,000 FD) Just a pivot from Ertz. Don’t play them in the same lineup.
Play light tonight and save up for the week. This game might be ugly.
