Week 17 of the NFL season is finally here! We kick off tonight with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys are massive 12.5-point favorites on the road with a live game total of 40 points. Dallas is coming off a big win over the Eagles in Week 16, while the Titans and rookie quarterback Malik Willis put up just 14 points against the Texans in their 5th consecutive loss last week.
This game does not mean much for Tennessee as the outcome will not change their playoff status. Whether or not they get into the playoffs will come down to their Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville. Plus, the Titans will probably be without star running back Derrick Henry (hip), who is doubtful, and the Cowboys may sit Tony Pollard, who is nursing a thigh injury. For tonight's matchup, there is a full rundown of players and suggestions below and you can always take a look at our Weekly Match-Up Report and use NFL DFS Tools like our DFS Lineup Generator (aka the DFS lineup optimizer).
Top Captain/MVP
Lamb is coming off a big boy game against the Eagles last week. He caught 10 passes on 11 targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys’ alpha receiver has put up 20 or more DraftKings in four out of his past five games and now faces a Titans defense that have struggled against wide receivers, allowing the third most DK points (42.1) and the second-most touchdowns (19). We saw what Lamb did to one of the best pass defenses in the game so what can we expect against the 28th-ranked defense? He will be the most popular GPP captain on this Showdown slate.
