Best DFS Picks for Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions - October 23 | 2022 NFL Football Season

The Dallas Cowboys host the Detroit Lions in a match-up of two teams heading in opposite directions. The Cowboys bring to the table one of the best defenses in the NFL and should remain in contention throughout the season. The Lions are heading nowhere with a defense that many consider the worst in the league.

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

Best quarterback picks

Cash and tournament games: Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6.7K, FanDuel $7.5K)

Dak Prescott is one of the favorite DFS plays of the weekend, regardless of position. Some may be hesitant to trot Prescott back in their lineups the first game back from his injury, but DFS is no place for the tepid.

Prescott has the weapons around him and faces a Lions defense that is the worst in the league against the pass. Initial projections are out, and Prescott will float around 10 percent ownership, making him a mainstay in Cash Games and Tournaments ready as well.

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $6.9K)

A game script for the Cowboys/Lions tilt should be ideal for Ezekiel Elliott. Expect the Cowboys to get up in this one and to lean on their running game in the second half to ice the game away.

Zeke is not the back he once was, but that doesn't matter in DFS, where his salary is reasonable, and his ownership is down in the 5-7 percent range.

Tournament: Tony Pollard, RB, Detroit Cowboys (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $6.5K)

Tony Pollard is a big play waiting to happen. Pollard will benefit from Dak Prescott being under center as Pollard finds most of his success in the receiving game out of the backfield. Pollard’s floating around 5 percent ownership and is just the play to put your DFS lineup over the top.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6.8, FanDuel $7.7)

The Lions' secondary can't match up with Lamb on the outside or in the slot, so early projections have CeeDee Lamb as the highest-owned receiver on the slate. One could "eat the chalk" on CeeDee Lamb in Cash games.

Tournament: Michael Gallup, WR, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $5.1, FanDuel $6.1)

Michael Gallup continues to be increasingly involved in the Cowboys' offense. With Dak Prescott returning, expect the Cowboys' offense to open up, benefiting Michael Gallup for some big plays down the field.
