The Browns host the Bengals tonight on Monday Night Football, and there are NFL DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Slates available to play, both of which begin at 8:05 p.m. EDT tonight. Let's look at the best players to target for both production and value this Sunday, October 16.
NFL DFS MVP/Captain Picks
Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $11.4k, FanDuel $17.0k)
Joe Burrow is the safest MVP/Captain option on tonight's slate out of all the players in this game. Burrow finished with 481 yards last week while completing 34 of 42 passes in a win over the Falcons, and he's had a couple of big games versus the Browns in his career. Cleveland did a great job of containing Lamar Jackson last game, but they haven't shown enough consistency to be trusted. Look for Burrow to build off a solid Week 7 performance tonight.
Other NFL DFS MVP/Captain Picks: Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $9.4k, FanDuel $13.0k)

NFL DFS Flex Picks
Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $8.0k, FanDuel $13.5k)
Tee Higgins has been a great #2 receiver for Cincinnati all year long, but with fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase out for four-to-six weeks, Higgins stands to benefit. The Clemson product had a quiet Week 1, but since then, he's seen 8.4 targets per game, and he's reeled in 5.8 of them. Now with Chase out, he could see double-digit targets routinely going forward. His 75.8 receiving yards per game ranks him near the top 10 in that category, and this is a number that should be on the rise until Chase returns from injury. Expect Higgins to be the featured receiver tonight in Cleveland as his team goes for their third straight win.
Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns (DraftKings $10.4k, FanDuel $15.0k)
Nick Chubb averages the second-most rushing yards per game in the NFL at 105.7. While he's expensive on both platforms, running backs typically have a higher ceiling when it comes to fantasy production. Chubb averages the third-most carries in the league too, and he's ran for over 100 yards in four out of seven career games versus Cincinnati. Look for him to rack up another great stat line tonight at home.
Other NFL DFS Flex Picks: Tyler Boyd, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $6.4k, FanDuel $12.5k), Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Cleveland Browns(DraftKings $5.0k, FanDuel $8.0k)
