Now, let’s dig into our Thursday Night Football DFS picks so you can set that winning lineup. It’s time to take Thanksgiving to the next level.

Thursday Night Football DFS Notes

Take Advantage of Dallas

It’s all about following the matchup. When you can do that while also rostering one of the better options in the league, it’s even better. The Cowboys are allowing the most DraftKings points to opposing quarterbacks. Not all of those quarterbacks are in the same tier as Patrick Mahomes, so he truly figures to take advantage today.

Mahomes is up to 2,977 yards with 18 touchdowns through 11 games. We know he always comes to play in big games, and Thanksgiving should be no different. He’s coming off a game in which he threw for 352 yards, and a repeat is in order.

Cincinnati Isn’t Much Better

If there’s a defensive category, it’s possible that the Cincinnati Bengals are in the bottom three. After two rough weeks for Lamar Jackson, facing the Bengals is exactly the landing spot he needs. With an over/under of 50.5, we know that offense will be aplenty. And for Baltimore, it will be Jackson who’s driving it.

Brown is Getting it Down

It was a slow start for Chase Brown, but he’s settled in as of late. In each of his last five games, Brown has at least 15 DK points. He’s generally good for a few catches per game, and it also provides a solid floor. It’s telling that Brown’s production has occurred with the benefit of just one touchdown. Overall, that’s likely to double tonight in a great matchup.

Stick with the Incumbent

Prior to his injury, Isaiah Pacheco wasn’t exactly running away with the running back job for Kansas City. Kareem Hunt had a legitimate role. He was good for, on average, about 10 carries per game. As of late, he’s picked up the pace, and that culminated in a 30-carry effort last week.

Hunt broke the century mark, and he’s done enough to keep a solid hold on the job. At worst, it’s going to be 50/50, but there’s no reason to think that Hunt’s going to go dark. Plus, with eight touchdowns on the season, he’s shown a clear knack for finding the end zone. This week’s matchup against Dallas should allow for that to continue.

The Rice is Cooking

Alright, maybe the pun was cheesy and very much long hanging, but let’s run with it. It’s also becoming, and will continue to be, clear that we’re focused on a Kansas City stack. The Cowboys struggle something fierce, and that lines up perfectly for Rashee Rice.

Back from a six-game suspension, Rice is averaging 79 receiving yards a game to go along with four touchdowns. He’s a big play waiting to happen, and Rice shouldn’t have an issue finding success tonight.

Roll with Number Two

With Tee Higgins out, Andrei Iosivas steps into step into his starting role. It’s nothing new for Iosivas, who has had success in similar situations over the past year-plus. The fact that it’s a favorable matchup against the Ravens and that Iosias is cost-effective makes things even better.

Last week, he caught four of seven targets for 61 yards. With Joe Burrow back under center, things should be even better for the Bengals’ passing offense.

There Shouldn’t Be Any Questions

With three games, there are a minimum of potentially six options. However, in reality, there’s really only one. The Cincinnati Bengals have been truly dreadful against opposing tight ends this season. In fact, that might be an understatement. So why not target Mark Andrews this week at a price that allows for legitimate salary relief?
