FREE 12/09 NFL MNF Cheat Sheet: Top DFS Plays

Get ready for a great Monday Night Football matchup as the Cincinnati Bengals head to Dallas to face the Cowboys. With the Bengals as 5.5-point favorites and a total set at 49.5, this game promises high-scoring action and plenty of DFS opportunities.

Cincinnati Bengals -5.5 at Dallas Cowboys – 49.5

Captain: Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati ($14,700)

The passing game gets all the headlines for the Bengals, but it’s expensive. I much prefer getting to this atrocious run defense of the Cowboys by playing Brown. With Zack Moss on the shelf, Brown is a workhorse opportunity going into a positive game script. Dallas has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns which is tied for 2nd worst in the NFL.

Contrarian Captain Consideration: Cooper Rush, QB, Dallas ($13,200)

Flex Option: Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati ($11,600)

With the “Bargain Bin” loaded with options, it’s not hard to get up to three expensive options. Chase is having another fantastic season and has been lights out over the last three weeks. You have to play either Chase or Higgins if you want any chance to cross the pay line because the Cowboys haven’t shown the ability to cover the position all year.

Flex Option: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas ($10,600)

The Cowboys got away with pounding the rock last week against the Giants. I expect Lamb to be much more involved this week to keep up with the Bengals offense. He’s by far the safest option on the Cowboys side.

Other Flex Considerations

Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati ($10,200)

Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati ($9,600)

Rico Dowdle, RB, Dallas ($9,000)

Cooper Rush, QB, Dallas ($8,800)

Brandin Cooks, WR, Dallas ($7,000)

Bargain Bin Flex: Jake Ferguson, TE, Dallas ($5,400)

Ferguson is back and prior to being out, was one of the few bright spots in this offense. With our expectation that Dallas will need to sling it around to stay competitive, this is a great price tag. It also helps that the Bengals are the second worst at allowing fantasy points to the Tight End position coming into the week.

Bargain Bin Flex Considerations

Mike Gesicki, TE, Cincinnati ($5,600)

Brandon Aubrey, K, Dallas ($5,000)

Cade York, K, Cincinnati ($4,800)

Andrei Iosivas, WR, Cincinnati ($4,400)

Bengals DST ($4,000)

Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Dallas ($3,400)

KaVontae Turpin, WR, Dallas ($3,000)

Jalen Tolbert, WR, Dallas ($2,800)

Drew Sample, TE, Cincinnati ($1,600)

Best Bets for MNF Week 14

Final Score: Cincinnati 30, Dallas 13

Burrow and company come in and put another beat down on the “Boys”. Too much offensive firepower on the Bengals side will cover the spread, but a lack of finding the endzone from Dallas keeps this total under.

PrizePicks (Week 13: 2-2, Overall: 34-18)
