ymakerpi8d

The first official Thursday Night Football game of the year is upon us, with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit set to call the action from the City of Brotherly Love. Amazon Prime is back for the Week 2 prime-time showcase between two teams that came into the 2023 season with plenty of expectations. More importantly for our purposes, both teams have plenty of offensive star power, which is music to the ears of single-game DFS players putting together a DraftKings' Showdown lineup.Kirk Cousins and the Vikings fell short again when it mattered most last year, but they march into Philadelphia hoping to shake off what was a rough opening performance. The Eagles are trying to avoid a Super Bowl hangover, and they certainly looked slow out of the gates in New England just a few days ago. Philadelphia's offense wasn't humming as usual, and the team struggled to put away the Patriots all afternoon. They escaped with a win despite trying as hard as po sible to lose the game.Now, both teams are hoping to flip the script and erase the bad Week 1 vibes. Which team can do it, and who are the players you can trust in your DraftKings daily fantasy lineups?MORE THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL:| | |Before we get into our lineup and strategy, here are the key  Dominik Masin Jersey scoring settings for DraftKings Showdown contests: They'refull-point PPRand there arethree-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards,100 rushing yards, and100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied Yanni Gourde Men Jersey  by 1.5.Captain (1.5x points, 1.5x salary): WR Justin Jefferson, Vikings ($18,600)It's no secret that Jefferson is a matchup-proof superstar. He will certainly make his presence felt on Thursday night against an Eagles' defense that wasn't clicking in Week 1. Despite Kirk Cousins' struggles on Sunday, Jefferson still managed 150 receiving yards. As the best player in fantasy, don't overthink getting him at 1.5x points. Any team would love to have one-and-a-half Jefferson's, so make sure he's on yours.FLEX QB Kirk Cousins, Vikings ($9,200)Speaking of Cousins, he'll be the one throwing Jefferson the ball, and in our narrative that calls for a shootout, it makes sense for Captain Kirk to get a roster spot. He's priced cheaper than his QB counterpart, and he'll want to recover after a poor start at home. Cousins won't fumble an infinite number of times again this week, and he should start to find a rhythm. In a short week, the switch is flipped quickly, and we believe Minnesota will get this ship pointing in the right direction. If there's one thing the Vikings are good at, it's losing games they should win and winning games they should lose. This one fits that narrative. Cousins will have a big night under the lights.FLEX TE T.J. Hockenson, Vikings ($6,800)Did you see what Hunter Henry just did to this Eagles defense? With 56 yards and a touchdown, Henry checks in at TE1 in fantasy through one week. Hockenson was targeted nine times in the opener as the No. 2 option behind Jefferson. Since Hockenson has proven to be a key piece in Minnesota's offense, we expect him to find some more production in Week 2.FLEX TE Dallas Goedert, Eagles ($5,800)Goedert has always played a big role in the Eagles' offense -- until last Sunday, that is. He finished his trip to New England with just one target. The Buccaneers' offense doesn't use tight ends as much as Philadelphia's, so we don't have a lot of matchup data to go off of. However, in last year's meeting between these two teams, Goedert led the Philadelphia receiving corps with 82 yards on five catches. He won't be ignored two weeks in a row, but we Brett Howden Kids Jersey  get a cheaper price thanks to Week 1's poor performance.FLEX WR K.J. Osborn, Vikings ($5,000)Jordan Addison got all the love to start the season, but Osborn played the in the offense. Osborn has been a steady contributor for the Vikings, but he's priced below Addison in DFS. For someone with a bigger workload and a more clearly defined role, it doesn't make much sense to select the rookie off one big play on Sunday. Until proven otherwise, consider Osborn to be a bargain in DFS because of that narrative.FLEX RB D'Andre Swift, Eagles ($4,000)Will Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) play? Better question: Why would the Eagles trade for Swift if they had no intention to use him? Those two questions led us to this conclusion  Swift is a steal at this price. At just $4,000, Swift slots in as one of the cheapest, high-upside options in this game. A short week means the Eagles might want to keep their players fresh early in the  Vincent Lecavalier Men Jersey season, leading to a changing of the guard in the backfield for this week. The Eagles have depth, and that's a beautiful thing in DFS. It might present a problem in traditional fantasy leagues, but the uncertainty creates plenty of value in daily formats.MORE DK SHOWDOWN:This year, we're also listing our favorite single-game DFS plays on.For those unfamiliar,DFS scoring involves point multipliers as opposed to traditional salary-capped or tiered contests. A winning lineup will likely feature a strong mix of stud fantasy contributors with 1x-1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is a signed  Lightning Blank Women Jersey a scoring multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft. Users can roster any player in their lineup with no restrictions.Win BIG with SuperDraft! Here are the most notable scoring rules for SuperDraft NFL contests:Half-point PPR,four-point pa sing TDs,two-point bonuses for 100 rushing yards,100 receiving yards,and 300 pa sing yards.MORE SUPERDRAFT DFS:Champion (+50% points): WR, Justin Jefferson, Vikings (Multiplier 1.5x)Super FLEX: QB Jalen Hurts, Eagles (Multiplier 1.05x)Super FLEX: WR DeVonta Smith, Eagles (Multiplier 1.3x)Super FLEX: WR A.J. Brown, Eagles (Multiplier 1.15x)SuperFLEX: WR K.J. Osborn, Vikings(Multiplier 1.7x)We like Thursday night's game to have a lot of points between both sides after they were mostly held in check in Week 1. Since SuperDraft doesn't cap our potential and instead relies on multipliers, we'll keep it simple and focus on the key receivers, who all have high ceilings in what could be a real shootout.
