Buffalo Bills travel to Detroit to take on Detroit Lions. The Bills vs Lions match-up kicks off a dynamic triple-header on Thanksgiving Day. Which of these teams will be the turkey in this situation?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills (DraftKings $8K, FanDuel $9.5K)
Josh Allen and the tremendous Buffalo Bills offense against the beatable Detroit Lions defense. Where do I sign up?
Tournaments: Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions (Draftkings $5.2K, FanDuel $6.9K)
Who in their right mind would want to play Jared Goff over Josh Allen? Stranger things have happened before, and if the Lions are chasing all afternoon, plenty of garbage points are on offer.
Best running back picks
Cash Games: Jamaal Williams, RB, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $5.9K, FanDuel $7.1K)
Jamaal Williams continues to operate as the Detroit Lions' Bell Cowback, so his inclusion as a Cash play should be no surprise. The Lions will likely attempt to lean on their offensive line and run game to keep the ball out of Josh Allen's hands, meaning Williams should have a ton of work.
Tournament: Devin Singletary RB, Buffalo Bills (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $6.9K)
Many DFS players will lean toward the Buffalo Bills passing game. It's hard not to be enticed by a Josh Allen-led stack. It is important to note that Devin Singletary has been solid recently. If the Bills lean into a more ground-based approach, Devin Singletary is a steal at this price tag.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Stefon Diggs, WR, Buffalo Bills (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $9.3K)
Stefon Diggs is the chalk of all chalk plays this Thanksgiving Day. Buffalo Bills will feast on Detroit Lions, and no one in the Lions' secondary is a match for Mr. Diggs. Look for the veteran receiver to have his way against a flimsy Lions defense.
Tournament: Kalif Raymond, WR, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $4.1K, FanDuel $5.5K)
In tournament play, it is important to think differently. We expect Amon-Ra St. Brown to be highly owned, and rightfully so. The Lions will likely get boat raced in this one, trailing by a large deficit and throwing the ball in the 2nd half. Keep an eye on Kalif Raymond. He has made some big plays down the field for the Lions throughout the 2022 season. With Josh Reynolds and DJ Chark banged up, Raymond may see an expanded role. If he performs well with low ownership, you will gain leverage on the field.
