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 7 Thursday Night Showdown Picks
MVP: Courtland Sutton ($12,000 FD)
MVP is difficult tonight. The Broncos have only given up four passing touchdowns this season and are holding opponents to 207 yards per game. I know Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs can put up big numbers on anyone but I think I want to get different at MVP tonight and pick a Bronco.
Courtland Sutton is the team’s top wide receiver. On the Broncos I am not seeing a lot of offensive options. That is going to mean the offense will run through just a few guys, as opposed to the Chiefs, who have plenty of wide receivers and running backs to mix in.
Sutton should be targeted up and down the field and in the red zone. I am willing to take a shot.
MVP Pivot: Phillip Lindsay – He will be another huge part of the Broncos offense. We just need them to stay in the game. The only team who has given up more rushing touchdowns than the Chiefs is the Cincinnati Bengals.
