The Week 7 Monday Night Football matchup sees the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East duel. 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 7 Monday Night Football matchup.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys DraftKings Pick6 Picks for Monday Night Football
Javonte Williams More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Javonte Williams has been a touchdown machine since coming to Dallas. This Cowboys offense is known for its incredible wide receiver duo of George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. However, it is Williams who often ends up cashing in with six points at the end of the drive. Williams has seven rushing touchdowns this season, the second-most in the NFL. He has also one touchdown through the air, making it eight total touchdowns through six games. He has at least one touchdown in five of six games so far.
Javonte Williams should keep his rushing touchdown success going in primetime against the Eagles. The Philadelphia offense is riddled with injuries and should struggle in this game, even against the poor Cowboys’ defense. That should set up some favorable starting field positions for the Cowboys. Philadelphia has also generally struggled against the run this season, ranking 30th in defensive EPA/rush and 29th in defensive rushing success rate. Williams should find the end zone at least once in this game.
Jake Elliott Less Than 1.5 Field Goals Made
It has been a very quiet season for Jake Elliott so far. Elliott has only attempted five field goals through six games. He has only attempted more than one field goal in one of six games this season. To his credit, Elliott is a perfect 5/5 on field goals so far this season. However, last season, he had some real struggles from distance. He ended up finishing last season 11/18 on 40+-yard field goals. Through the small sample size this season, he has been better, but it’s hard to trust him from distance after last season.
This Eagles offense is in total disarray. They will be without Jalen Hurts for the rest of the season and DeVonta Smith for another week. Even if Saquon Barkley returns this week, it’s hard to imagine he will be at 100%. Even against this poor Dallas defense, it’s hard to see the Eagles getting many scoring opportunities. When they do get into scoring range, Nick Sirianni will likely need to be aggressive and go for touchdowns rather than field goals. Elliott has finished under this number in five of six games this season and should do so again here.
Dallas Goedert More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Dallas Goedert might be the Eagles’ top target through the air this week. DeVonta Smith is set to miss this game due to injury, as is Dontayvion Wicks. That means Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown are the starting wide receivers on this offense, with Tanner McKee throwing to them. McKee should rely on his most experienced and reliable target, tight end Dallas Goedert.
Last week, in McKee’s first start, Dallas Goedert was the Eagles’ second most productive receiver behind only DeVonta Smith. He had six catches for 61 yards against the Panthers. While this Philadelphia offense is incredibly thin, this is the easiest opponent they could have faced. Dallas ranks dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback and defensive dropback success rate. The Eagles should be able to string together at least one or two scoring drives against that defense. If they get into the red zone, McKee should look Goedert’s way. He has two touchdowns this season and has a good chance to score another one this week.
