The Cowboys will travel to Philadelphia in Week 18, and this game is set to be interesting for DFS. Dallas has already clinched the NFC East, but lost home advantage during the playoffs, so it’s hard to know how motivated he will be. The Eagles have clinched a playoff spot and can only go up one spot to sixth seed, so they could be even less motivated. All that said, this contest is hit or miss, and many DFS players will build single-game FanDuel lineups with mere speculation.
Here are the key scoring settings for single-game FanDuel contests: Total points for “MVP” are multiplied by 1.5, but it does not cost additional money as “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. The default FanDuel score is Semicircular PPR Y Four-point pass TD, and there are no bonuses for 100/300 yard games like in DraftKings.

FanDuel Single Game DFS Picks: Cowboys vs. Eagles
$ 50,000 budget, at least one player from each team is needed.
MVP: (1.5x points): WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys ($ 12,500)
Lamb has been relatively quiet since around Week 11, when he delivered over 20 FD points, so if the Cowboys are complete in this one, we are relying on an explosive finish to the regular season to build momentum for the first round of the playoffs. . If the Eagles rest key players, they shouldn’t have a problem getting away with the reserve corners.
FLEX: QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys ($ 16,500)
Again, Dallas is the safest team to choose here, so we’ll stick with Prescott and stay away from Jalen Hurts. Whether the Eagles play it all or not, Prescott will have a hand to destroy their defense like in the first meeting when he threw for 238 yards and three touchdowns.
WEEK 18 FANTASY RATINGS (PPR & STANDARD):
Field marshal | Running backwards | Wide receiver | Tight end | D / ST | Kicker
FLEX: RB Tony Pollard, Cowboys ($ 9,500)
DFS is a gamble, and we’re rolling the dice with the assumption that Pollard will be the leader for a good chunk of the game. Ezekiel Elliot isn’t getting any younger, and since he’s been ineffective and unproductive of late, a week off would be best for the Cowboys. Pollard looks like one of the best backups, and maybe overall, which is why he’s oozing advantages at this venue.
FLEX: WR Quez Watkins, Eagles ($ 7,000)
Watkins is a good boom or bust DFS dart throw, whether Gardner Minshew or Jalen Hurts are in the game (we could see both). Among NFL players with more than 30 receptions, Watkins ranks in the top 15 in yards / reception (14.8), so he’s obviously a huge threat to big plays and can take the distance on any play. Trevon Diggs has allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers of all corners in the NFL thanks to his all-or-nothing aggressiveness, so we like Watkins’ chances to score his first TD of the season, especially if DeVonta Smith has limited action and Dallas Goedert. remains on the reserve / Covid list.
FLEX: RB Kenneth Gainwell, Eagles ($ 7,500)
Jordan Howard and Boston Scott were placed on the reserve / COVID list on Monday, and Miles Sanders (hand) will not play in Week 18. Gainwell will potentially take on a workhorse role, and with ball carriers and pass receivers limited available. You should see a ton of volume on the ground and through the air. If you only play one of Scott or Howard, Gainwell is still a solid asset.
