FREE 11/10 NFL Cheat Sheet: Top MNF DFS Plays

Get ready for a Monday night showdown that closes out Week 10 with a bang. We’ve got the 6-2 Eagles heading into Lambeau to face the 5-2-1 Packers. This isn’t just any game; it’s a rematch of last year’s postseason, so expect some extra fire. The total is sitting at 45.0, with Green Bay as a slight 1.5-point home favorite. Both offenses have some compelling pieces, with the Packers’ passing game led by Jordan Love (despite losing Tucker Kraft) and the Eagles’ run-heavy attack centered around Jalen Hurts and a revitalized Saquon Barkley. This is a battle between two division leaders, and it promises to be a great one for DFS.

From a DFS perspective, this game offers some intriguing angles. Green Bay’s offense, ranked 11th in points per game, has been airing it out (6th in passing yards). With Kraft out, Luke Musgrave steps into a bigger role alongside Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. Keep an eye on the Q-tags for Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks, as their statuses could open up snaps for Malik Heath and Savion Williams, potentially creating some value plays. Josh Jacobs, despite playing through injury, has been a touchdown machine with 10 scores. For the Eagles, Jalen Hurts remains a dual-threat monster, and while Saquon Barkley’s efficiency has dipped, his 150-yard outburst before the bye shows his upside. DeVonta Smith has been the primary target, but Dallas Goedert leads the team in receiving touchdowns. This game has a lot of moving parts, and navigating the injury situations for the Packers will be key to building winning lineups.

Let’s dive into the top Captain and Flex plays for Monday’s showdown slate!

Top Captain Plays

Jalen Hurts ($16,500)

Jalen Hurts (CPT $16,500) continues to deliver elite DFS performances, firing four touchdowns in his last outing and amassing a 15:1 TD:INT ratio over his last six games. Tonight’s matchup against Green Bay presents another high-upside opportunity, where his dual-threat ability and consistent 22.7 DK points per game average provide a robust captain floor. His 1.5x captain multiplier maximizes his impressive 30.9 DK point projection, giving him an outstanding 1.87x value and a strong 28.78% optimal lineup percentage, making him a cornerstone for lineups at his moderate 12.6% ownership.

Honorable Mention

• Josh Jacobs ($15,900)

Top UTIL Plays

1. Jordan Love ($10,000)

Jordan Love has averaged an impressive 20.7 DK points per game over his last two outings, showcasing a significant uptick in his performance compared to his season average. Despite a challenging Week 9 where he couldn’t find the end zone, Love still commanded a high volume of passes (26 completions on 37 attempts for 273 yards), demonstrating his central role in the Packers’ offense, even with key targets like Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden exiting due to injury. His stellar 360-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Steelers in Week 8 highlights his ceiling and ability to deliver explosive fantasy production.

Love’s $10,000 salary makes him an incredibly high-value play with a 40.1% optimal lineup percentage, indicating his strong potential to anchor winning DFS lineups. The current weather conditions in Philadelphia, with mild wind and cool temperatures, present no significant obstacles to his passing game. With a projected ownership of 53.7%, Love is a chalk play for good reason, offering a combination of recent high-level production and a clear path to exceeding his projection.

2. Emanuel Wilson ($2,600)

Emanuel Wilson delivers exceptional value at his minimum salary of $2,600, making him a prime candidate for salary relief in DFS lineups, especially given his 58.0% optimal lineup percentage. He consistently plays roughly a third of Green Bay’s offensive snaps, establishing himself as the clear No. 2 option in the backfield behind Josh Jacobs. His Week 8 performance against the Steelers, where he rushed 11 times for 61 yards and caught three passes for 26 yards, demonstrates his ability to be an efficient and productive contributor when given touches.

Wilson’s consistent involvement in the Packers’ offense, even in games where Jacobs takes a larger share, solidifies his floor for a minimum-priced player. With a projected 5.7 DK points and a 2.19x value, he offers a significant return on investment. His role as a change-of-pace back ensures he sees enough volume to make an impact, and with a moderate projected ownership of 22.2%, he provides leverage while still being a highly viable play.

Honorable Mentions

• Saquon Barkley ($10,800)

Bargain Bin

Packers ($4,000)

The Packers DST faces a Philadelphia offense that has shown vulnerability, allowing multiple sacks in three of their last four games and turning the ball over at least once in each of those contests. Their defensive line has generated consistent pressure, recording 10 sacks over the past three weeks, and their opportunistic secondary has collected five interceptions in the same span. This unit’s ability to force negative plays and create turnovers provides a high floor for DFS production, especially at their mid-range salary.

Tonight’s game environment sets up perfectly for the Packers DST to exceed expectations against an Eagles team that struggles with efficiency on the road. Their projected optimal lineup percentage of 31.5% reflects the confidence in their ability to disrupt the opposing offense, and their moderate ownership of 22.8% keeps them comfortably in play for both cash games and tournaments. With a solid projected point total of 6.24 and a strong value rating of 1.56x, the Packers DST offers an excellent combination of safety and upside.
