Best DFS Picks for Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Commanders- November 6 | 2022 NFL Regular Season

Minnesota Vikings v Miami Dolphins
Can Justin Jefferson finish as the top receiver in DFS for Week 9?

The Minnesota Vikings head to the Nation's capital to face off with the Washington Commanders in the Kirk Cousins Bowl! The Vikings continue to impress, losing just one game all season.

The Vikings bring an impressive blend of offense with a rock-solid running game, mixed in with playmakers on the outside like Justin Jefferson. Taylor Heinicke keeps getting it done for the Commanders, and now, Washington could have a QB controversy on its hands.

What do they do if Heinicke continues his winning ways when Carson Wentz returns?

Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.

Best quarterback picks

Cash Games: Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $6.2K, FanDuel $7.9K)

Kirk Cousins is the straw that stirs the drink for the Minnesota Vikings offense. Cousins has his share of critics--rightfully so. The veteran signal caller keeps getting it done. Against a Commander's burnable secondary, Cousins is in play.

Tournaments: Taylor Heinicke, QB, Washington Commanders (Draftkings $5.4K, FanDuel $7.2K)

The Minnesota Vikings' defensive backfield has been atrocious in 2022. Taylor Heinicke is playing loose and confident.

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $7.8K, FanDuel $8.55K)

Dalvin Cook is a weekly play in DFS. Cook feels like a balance of high-upside mixed with a moderate price tag.

Tournament: Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Washingon Commanders (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $5.9K)

Brian Robinson Jr. is a fascinating play this week. The Commanders have been giving more work to Antonio Gibson as of late. I'm not sure if that is game specific or if it is their game script moving forward. I will continue to pound the table for Robinson, the bruising back out of Alabama, to get more touches as the team's best natural runner.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $8.6K, FanDuel $9K)

Justin Jefferson is a play every week. Facing a Commanders' defense that has no answers for him, a ceiling performance could be in the cards.

Tournament: KJ Osborn, WR, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $4.2K, FanDuel $5.3K)

The goal is to get a bit different against the field. KJ Osborn is in play as he continues to find the end zone for the Vikings, and we know he is capable of big plays down the field.
