NFL Week 13 DFS wraps up with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. While neither team boasts an impressive record, the NFC South is wide open and the division title is very much up for grabs. The 40.5 over/under doesn't exactly make this game sound like it will be an explosive one, but you have some very strong options to go with for your DFS Showdown lineups. We say it all the time – it doesn't matter how much scoring there i s, just as long as you have the right guys in your lineup. Based on the matchups and data, we have exactly what you need to win.
Please note that players not listed below are not necessarily a complete fade and any player listed could certainly be used as the MVP/Captain. These are merely suggestions for players to use when setting showdown lineups.

MVP/Captain
Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Godwin has established himself as the trusted go-to guy for Brady and is coming off a monster game against the Browns where he caught 12 of 13 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. In fact, he's now seen double-digit targets in 5 of his last 6 games and is averaging just over 11 targets per game with touchdown grabs in each of his last 2. He's got positive matchups against all of the Saints’ corners, but will likely spend most of his night abusing Chris Harris Jr. coming out of the slot.
Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The big question is whether or not Marshon Lattimore plays, because if he does, we may see an early exit for Evans. The two of them have so much bad blood between them, that we've seen multiple instances where fights have broken out on the field between the two. If Lattimore plays, it could serve as a distraction. If he doesn't, Evans should have no problem torching any of the other outside corners.
Taysom Hill, TE, New Orleans Saints'
Yes, as disgusting as this might seem, Hill stands out a bit in this match-up given the injuries in the Bucs secondary, most notably to both safeties as neither Antoine Winfield nor Mike Edwards are expected to play this week. If the Saints’ offensive line can get the better of the Bucs’ defensive line, that quarterback-draw they like to run with Hill is going to be very effective. We don't normally support the use of Hill, but in a showdown slate, he can vault you up the standings in a tournament if he pops.
