NFL News (AP)
A heated NFC East rivalry renews when the Dallas Cowboys host the Washington Football Team on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys can clinch the NFC East with either a win, tie or an Eagles loss in Week 16, but Dak Prescott and the boys have much loftier goals than simply winning the division in 2021. Dallas has looked the part of a legitimate title contender and home-field advantage would go a long way towards making the Cowboys a serious threat. Dallas' offense has sputtered a bit in recent weeks and NFL daily Fantasy players might wonder which version they'll be getting on Sunday night.
At their best, the Cowboys have a versatile lineup absolutely loaded with playmakers but the group managed just 323 yards of total offense against Washington just two weeks ago. Who should you be adding to your NFL DFS lineups and which players should you be avoiding entirely in the Sunday Night Football NFL DFS player pool? Before locking in NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Washington, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with almost $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1 percent in more than a dozen other tournaments last season.
He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to Cowboys vs. Washington and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks.You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Washington running back Antonio Gibson. Despite playing as a hybrid running back/wide receiver in college, Gibson has established himself as a legitimate workhorse tailback and he enters Week 16 having rushed for 862 yards and six scores.
Gibson has also recorded 39 catches for 260 yards and two additional touchdowns and he's out-touched almost everybody on the roster 3-to-1. With Taylor Heinicke clearing COVID-19 protocols, look for Gibson to benefit from what should be a more balanced offense after producing just 41 scrimmage yards and 12 touches in the Week 14 matchup.
Another part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy for Sunday night includes rostering Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. The second-year wideout from Oklahoma continues to establish himself as one of the top young receivers in the NFL.
Lamb has 70 catches for 940 yards and six scores in his sophomore season and has also added 78 yards rushing on eight carries. He's been targeted at least nine times in each of the last three games, so look for Prescott to go to him early and often in a big divisional matchup on national television. In addition, Lamb led Dallas' pass catchers in yards, targets and receptions in his last outing against Washington.
McClure is also targeting an undervalued player who is set to explode for huge numbers on Sunday night. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.
