The Week 9 Monday Night Football matchup pits the Minnesota Vikings against the Buffalo Bills in a battle of two of the NFL’s best teams. One of the best ways to get in on the game is by playing DraftKings Pick6.
Here are my top Pick6 plays for the Week 9 Monday Night Football matchup.
Vikings vs. Bills DraftKings Pick6 Picks for Monday Night Football
Josh Allen More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Josh Allen is a rushing touchdown machine. Allen has nine rushing touchdowns this season, the second-most in the NFL. There has only been one game all season in which Allen has not found the end zone with his legs. The Vikings have the best defense in the NFL, and they will be hard to crack, even for an offense as good as Buffalo’s. That will force Allen to improvise, which is often when he is at his best. There will be designed runs called for Allen, but he should also be forced to scramble around and make plays when things are covered downfield. That should lead to Allen scoring his 10th rushing touchdown of the season.
Dalton Kincaid More Than 37.5 Receiving Yards
Dalton Kincaid is coming off one of his best games of the season so far. Kincaid started the season incredibly strong, combining for 12 catches, 225 yards and a touchdown in his first two games. However, Kincaid started to cool off over the next few games. He finally got back to those high standards last week, going for 86 yards and a touchdown. Even in the game before that, Kincaid started to show signs that he was about to pop off. He caught seven balls against the Raiders before the bye week, but didn’t manage to break any of them for a big gain.
The Vikings have the best defense in the NFL. Nothing will be easy for Josh Allen in this game. However, he might have the most success looking for his tight end. The Bills have a better chance of moving it methodically than they do hitting deep shots down the field against Minnesota. Other tight ends like Tucker Kraft, Jonnu Smith and Cade Otton have cleared this number against the Vikings this season. Kincaid should see a lot of targets and clear this number for the third consecutive game.
Justin Jefferson More Than 78.5 Receiving Yards
Justin Jefferson should be in for a big game against the Bills. Carson Wentz is back as the starter for the Vikings this week. In the two games that Wentz played earlier this season, Justin Jefferson was the Vikings’ leading receiver both times. He had a season-high eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1, when Wentz stepped in and led the Vikings to a comeback win. Wentz’s other start was in a rock fight against the Bears, but Jefferson still led the team in receiving.
Jefferson has been very quiet the past couple of weeks, as the Vikings’ pass offense has been totally inept. Wentz could provide a spark that they were lacking with Kyler Murray. This is the perfect time to do so, as the Bills have one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Buffalo ranks 26th in defensive EPA/dropback and defensive dropback success rate. The Vikings should attack through the air with success. Jefferson has one career game against the Bills, in which he went for 10 catches, 193 yards and a touchdown. He should be in for another big performance against Buffalo this week.
