The last time we saw CeeDee Lamb, he was scoring the game-winning touchdown versus New England en route to a career-high of 149 yards. He’ll now look to build off that performance on Sunday Night Football against the Vikings. Minnesota has its own stud receiver in Justin Jefferson and both sophomore wideouts will be highly coveted NFL DFS picks. With veterans Amari Cooper and Adam Thielen also in the fold, Cowboys vs. Vikings is brimming with receiving options for your NFL DFS lineups.
But which duo would form the more productive NFL DFS stack for Sunday Night Football? And are there any other receivers outside those four worthy of consideration? Before locking in your NFL DFS picks for Vikings vs. Cowboys, 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 Sunday Night Football and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Vikings
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. In his 10th season, Cousins has quietly put up one of his most efficient campaigns. He ranks fourth in the NFL in touchdown-to-interception ratio (13:3) and ranks seventh with 294.8 passing yards per game.
His last game was his best outing as he threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns against Carolina in Week 6. Now he gets to face a Cowboys defense that has allowed the fifth-most Fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year. Dallas ranks just 28th in pass defense, so Cousins should thrive in a game that’s expected to be a shootout.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn. The second-year player didn’t catch a pass as a rookie but has 26 grabs this year for 311 yards and two touchdowns. He posted a 6-78-1 stat line in his last game before Minnesota’s bye.
While Dallas has been stout against the run this year, you can’t say the same for the Cowboys’ pass defense. Dallas has allowed the sixth-most Fantasy points to opposing receivers, and it’s not just starting receivers who have picked apart the Cowboys’ defense. Twice this season Dallas has allowed a team’s No. 3 receiver to top 100 yards including Antonio Brown in Week 1 and Kadarius Toney in Week 5. With all of the attention that Jefferson and Thielen will receive, Osborn should exploit single coverage on Sunday night.
How to set NFL DFS lineups for Cowboys vs. Vikings
