The Eagles host the Cowboys for an NFL Week 7 clash on Monday Night Football. Dallas is favored by 4.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game total set at 44.5 points.  

DraftKings is offering some huge Showdown contests for this matchup. Below, I have featured two of my favorite NFL DFS value plays to consider for this Showdown slate.

Eagles vs. Cowboys NFL DFS Value Picks for Monday Night Football

WR Darius Cooper, Philadelphia Eagles ($4,800 CPT, $3,200 FLEX)

Cooper is way underpriced with the Eagles shorthanded at receiver. Both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are out for Monday night. Wicks hasn’t missed a game this season, but Smith has missed two. Cooper scored 18.3 and 15.1 FPTS in those contests, with three of his four total touchdowns.

Cooper should run a route on almost every dropback against the Cowboys, and he should get a strong target share. With Smith and Wicks out this season, Cooper is seeing a 22% target share, up from his 15% season average.

Dallas is also a great matchup, ranking second in pace and allowing the fifth-most yards per pass attempt this season (7.9). Cooper could deliver double-digit FPTS and serve as the No. 1 value on this Showdown slate.

TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, Dallas Cowboys ($2,700 CPT, $1,800 FLEX)

With Jake Ferguson struggling to make an impact — finishing with fewer than 25 yards in all but one game this season — the Cowboys gave Spann-Ford a longer look last week against the Packers.

With Ferguson running a route on a season-low 52% of dropbacks in Week 6, Spann-Ford saw a season-high 26.8% route rate and caught four of five targets for 35 yards (7.5 FPTS). Notably, one target came in the red zone.

Spann-Ford averages 1.4 YPRR this season, while Ferguson averages just 0.7. The 26-year-old should continue to run a route on about 30% of his team’s dropbacks on Monday Night Football, giving him a great chance to outproduce his near-minimum price tag. Spann-Ford could find the end zone in an expanded role, and he should come with little ownership.
