The NFL season is on to Week 13, and there are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football! These are the best Pick6 plays for all three of the Thanksgiving games on Thursday.
Here are my top Pick6 plays for Thursday.
Dak Prescott More Than 0.5 Passing Yards (Promo Pick)
Dak Prescott is having a fantastic season for the Cowboys. He has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL all season and should be up for a huge Thanksgiving game against the Chiefs. This DraftKings Pick6 promo allows you to add this pick, which requires Prescott to throw for just one yard. This pick can be added to any Thanksgiving Pick6 play to boost your potential winnings.
Derrick Henry More Than 92.5 Rushing Yards
Derrick Henry could be in for a huge game against the Bengals. Despite the up-and-down nature of the Ravens’ season and the long stretch without Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry has still been one of the league’s best backs this season. He ranks sixth in the NFL in rushing yards, despite having a terrible stretch when Jackson first went down. Over his last six games, he is averaging 92.3 rushing yards per game. That is right on the number set for him on Pick6 this week. He should be better than average against this terrible Bengals defense. Cincinnati ranks 30th in the NFL in defensive EPA/rush and defensive rushing success rate. Joe Burrow is back for the Bengals’ offense, so the best thing Baltimore can do is run the ball and keep it away from Burrow. This should be a big game for Henry, and he should rush for at least 100 yards.
Ja’Marr Chase More Than 93.5 Receiving Yards
Ja’Marr Chase is back after serving a one-game suspension last week. Not only is Chase back, but Joe Burrow is back at quarterback after missing most of the season. The return of Burrow could be exactly the spark Cincinnati needs to start winning some games. Not only will the offense be much better with Burrow, but it could also motivate players like Chase to raise the bar. Chase won the NFL receiving triple crown last season, in one of the best receiving seasons in NFL history. Despite missing Burrow for most of the season and missing a game last week, Chase still ranks fifth in the NFL in receptions and receiving yards. He should be ready for a huge game against the Ravens, whom he has tormented over the years. In eight career games against the Ravens, Chase is averaging 120.3 yards per game, by far the most among his three divisional opponents. Chase has gone over this number in three of his past six games, and with Burrow back under center, he should hit it again on Thanksgiving night.
George Pickens More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
George Pickens is having an incredible season for the Cowboys. In his first season away from Pittsburgh, he is proving to be one of the NFL’s best receivers. He is even outperforming his teammate, the great CeeDee Lamb. Of course, Lamb’s incredible ability is part of the reason for Pickens’ success. Lamb’s reputation requires defenses to put all eyes on him. That has allowed Pickens to operate in mostly single coverage for the first time in his career. As a result, Pickens ranks second in the NFL in receiving yards and third in receiving touchdowns. Across most of the field, Pickens and Lamb are getting a nearly identical target share. However, Pickens is getting 20.5% of the team’s red zone targets, compared to just 8.3% of end zone targets for Lamb. In this pivotal game, Dak Prescott should look Pickens’ way and allow him to add another touchdown to his season total.
