Thursday Night Football DraftKings Picks

The NFC West-leading 49ers look to clinch the division when they travel to face the 7-6 Seahawks to kick off Week 15 on Thursday Night Football. San Francisco is currently pegged as a 3.5-point road favorite with a total of 43.5, . The recent lo ses of Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) and Deebo Samuel (ankle) figure to have an impact down the line, but the 49ers remain one of the NFL's most complete teams. NFL DFS players building a DraftKings Showdown lineup still have several high-priced stars and value sleepers from which to choose, and we've included a handful of those players on our squad.Before we get into our lineup and strategy, here are David Wright Jersey the key scoring settings for DraftKings Showdown contests: They'refull-point PPR and there arethree-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.MORE DK SHOWDOWN: Captain (1.5x points, 1.5x salary): WR DK Metcalf, Seahawks ($15,000)Despite the 49ers' defense allowing the fourth-lowest EPA/drop-back this season ( ), Metcalf is a tough a signment for San Francisco's secondary. Metcalf leads all WRs in red-zone targets (22) and has scored four TDs in Seattle's past six games. A potential negative game script could result in Geno Smith attempting a high number of pa ses, which is good news for Metcalf's ability to reach Juan Lagares Jersey 100-plus receiving yards.MORE TNF: | |FLEX RB Christian McCaffery, 49ers ($11,400) McCaffery's going to be a chalky play, but for good reason. The Seahawks have allowed the sixth-highest EPA/rush and Jacob DeGrom Jersey most recently surrendered 223 rushing yards on 4.8 yards per carry in their Week 14 lo s to Carolina. Will they be able to shore things up on short rest against the league's most efficient RB this season (+30.6 EPA)? We don't think so.WEEK 15 DFS: | FLEX TE George Kittle, 49ers ($8,000) Kittle has been one of the bigger disappoints at the TE position in fantasy this season, but he should have an effective game against a Seahawks defense allowing the second-most DK points to TEs. Brock Purdy hasn't taken too many shots downfield, averaging just 6.9 yards per attempt, and could rely a good deal on Kittle in the short pa sing game. Kittle's likely going to see an increase in usage with Deebo Samuel (knee) sidelined, and at $8,000, he makes for a worthwhile addition to Showdown lineups.WEEK 15 DFS LINEUPS: | FLEX RB Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks ($7,600)Walker mi sed Seattle's Week 14 contest dealing with an ankle injury, but he should be good to go for TNF. While the matchup is tough, his DK salary is the lowest it's been since Week 5. Walker's projected usage more than justifies adding him into Showdown lineups at a relatively low $7,600. Wilmer Flores Jersey He's always a threat to make a big play, (11 breakaway runs) and averages the sixth-most yards created per touch among RBs (3.67).WEEK 15 FANTASY PICKS: | FLEX WR Marquise Goodwin, Seahawks ($6,400) Goodwin has emerged as Seattle's No. 3 wideout, and while he's a bit of a dart throw, there's a chance he sees a handful of targets in a potential negative game script. Goodwin has mostly produced this season when Metcalf and Lockett aren't on the field, but last week he scored 20.3 DK points on a 76-percent snap share. He's averaging an impre sive 11.8 yards per target to go along with racking up 2.73 fantasy points per target (third among WRs).WEEK 15 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX WR Ray-Ray McCloud, 49ers ($1,200)With Samuel going down in the second half last week, it was McCloud, not Jauan Jennings, who filled his void. McCloud logged a season-high 44-percent snap share, which figures to be even higher this week. At Noah Syndergaard Jersey $1,200 he's a good buy-low candidate with upside, and his cheap salary has allowed us to roster other relatively stable players.
