Captain’s Picks
Jordan Love ($15,000 CP): There’s one star on the field at AT&T Stadium. Figuratively, there may be quite a few stars on the field other than the logo on the 50-yard line. Several players can have big games, but only one will be the optimal NFL DFS pick. A vulnerable Dallas secondary, which ranks dead last in the NFL with a 125.3 quarterback rating allowed, offers Love a golden opportunity to shine in Week 4. The Cowboys allowed four passing TDs in Week 3 and three in Week 2.
UTIL Plays
George Pickens ($9,800): The Cowboys are TD dogs at home. This is going to be a long season for the fans of America’s team. It’s going to be a fun season for America. In particular, NFL DFS fans. The Cowboys’ weak defense will lead to weekly shootouts. If Dallas competes, they’ll need to do so at the track meet. Pickens is an affordable runback in the relay race. Ceedee Lamb is out. The Son of former Pro Bowler and Bengals great Carl Pickens is the Cowboys’ No. 1 receiver. Pickens was targeted nine times in each of the last two weeks. The Cowboys will likely return to their quick-draw gunslinging ways in a game in which they project to be playing from behind.
Romeo Doubs ($6,400): It’s been a quiet season for Doubs. That could change on Sunday night. The Dallas defense is getting destroyed through the air. TE Tucker Kraft ($8,600) has been Love’s most consistent target, but upside is needed in DraftKings NFL Showdown slates. Kraft can go over 100 yards receiving and score multiple TDs. Doubs can do the same. When it comes to 150-yard games and game-breaking plays, Doubs has the edge.
Jalen Tolbert ($3,800): An affordable salary option opens hidden leverage, and Jalen Tolbert emerges as a punt play with WR3 upside in a depleted Dallas receiving corps facing Green Bay’s zone-heavy scheme. Significant upside shines through with his recent touchdown production and growing role. An ideal fit exists as the Packers’ secondary has been vulnerable to underneath routes, aligning with Tolbert’s skill set in a game where Dak Prescott projects to be chucking. A unique advantage lies in low ownership projections, making Tolbert a sleeper pick in tournament builds.
Fades
Javonte Williams ($9,000): He’s been a revelation this season. Williams has miraculously overcome injuries and is becoming a Pro Bowl-caliber running back. There is just one problem: The Dallas D. Game scripts do not favor the Cowboys’ ground attack. The best shot the Cowboys have is the run. By conservatively grinding on the ground, they can limit their defense’s exposure. That’s easier said than done. It’s more than likely that the Dallas defense lets down, and Dallas is forced to leave the ground. Even in a high-scoring, lopsided loss, Williams will get plenty of opportunities, but he lacks the upside of other high-priced players who score via more explosive opportunities.
The Outcome
The Green Bay Packers are poised to dominate the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 4 clash at AT&T Stadium, leveraging a superior defense led by Micah Parsons and a motivated offense seeking redemption after a recent loss. Predictive models and historical trends, including the Packers’ 10 wins in the last 11 meetings, strongly favor Green Bay. The Cowboys’ depleted offensive line and lack of pass rush, compounded by CeeDee Lamb’s absence, suggest a challenging night that could see Dallas struggle to keep pace in this Sunday Night Football matchup.
Final Score: Packers 34, Cowboys 20
