Best NFL DFS Bets for Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants

The Detroit Lions travel to The Big Apple to take on the New York Giants. The Lions enter this match-up on a high note following last week's victory over the Chicago Bears.

The New York Giants have been on a high note all season long as one of the surprise teams of the NFL season.

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

Best quarterback picks

Cash Games: Daniel Jones, QB, New York Giants (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $7.8K)

Daniel Jones is in a smash spot this weekend. Jones is known as much for his versatility as a runner, than he is as a passer. For DFS purposes, we don't care how he scores the points, just that he does. Daniel Jones could have a ceiling performance against Detroit.

Tournaments: Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions (Draftkings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.8K)

Not many DFS players are lining up to play Jared Goff. Goff doesn't entice with a high-ceiling upside. If the Lions struggle to run the ball, they could turn to Jared Goff against a Giants' defense that has struggled lately.

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants (DraftKings $8.9K, FanDuel $9.7K)

Saquon Barkley is one of the safest smash plays of the weekend, regardless of position. You have to pay up for Saquon Barkley, but in a match-up against a soft Lions defense, Barkley is worth every penny.

Tournament: D'Andre Swift, RB, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $6.1K, FanDuel $6.7K)

It is tough to trust D'Andre Swift, given how the Detroit Lions coaching staff utilizes the dynamic back. We know that Swift isn't completely healthy, but a player as talented as Swift only needs a few touches to be valuable on a DFS slate. Most DFS players will be hesitant. That's why you should be able to pull this off!

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $7.2K, FanDuel 7.8K)

Amon-Ra is getting an insane target share from the Lions since they traded T.J. Hockenson. He is the only legitimate and consistent pass-catching option that they have. We have been banking on a high-ceiling outcome that has not materialized, but it is coming.

Tournament: Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants (DraftKings $5K, FanDuel $6.3K)

I have been as reluctant as anyone to accept Darius Slayton as a DFS option. Slayton was gone from fantasy relevancy for quite some time, so it was tough to trust. Slayton is no longer a blip on the radar.

However, he has found his way into the #1 receivers' chair for the New York Giants. Many DFS players still don't believe in Slayton, so if his production continues, you can gain leverage against the field.
