Disclaimer

These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options and in MME contests there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

The Giants are one-point favorites at home against the Cowboys, meaning Vegas essentially has this one as a toss-up and that's exactly it. This one could go either way so let's build strong lineups utilizing players from both sides. Of course, 4-1 lineups are still viable as one team could surprisingly run away with it, but it doesn't appear likely.

INJURY REPORT

Captain Consideration:

  1. Saquon Barkley
  2. Daniel Jones
  3. Cooper Rush

DALLAS COWBOYS

QUARTERBACK

Cooper Rush - Captain/Flex

Cooper Rush was competent filling in for Dak Prescott last week, throwing for 235 yards and 1 touchdown. And we saw the same thing a season ago when he threw for 325 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Vikings in his only 2021 start. Rush isn't exciting but he has proven in limited action he can enable the Cowboys' playmakers to produce in fantasy. That's enough to put Rush on the map in this Showdown Slate against a Giants' defense that only ranked 18th in Overall DVOA a season ago.
