The Week 12 Monday Night Football contest features the 3-7 Seattle Seahawks visiting the 4-6 Washington Football Team. The Seahawks are 1.5-point favorites and our over/under is set at 47.5.
The Seahawks enter this contest being outscored 40-13 in two games since Russell Wilson returned. They are officially without Chris Carson (IR) for the remainder of the season and will lean on the RB tandem of Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas.
Washington has been trending in a different direction. They’ve won each of their last two games, and against tough opponents – the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers.
Let’s take a look at my top DFS plays on SuperDraft for Monday’s game.
Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team (1.35x score multiplier)
Washington’s lead back should have a full workload on his plate with this game projected to stay competitive. Though he hasn’t been very involved as a pass-catcher, Gibson has averaged 22 rush attempts over his last two games and ran two balls in for scores back in Week 10. The matchup on paper is a beauty with Seattle ranking 31st in DVOA rush defense and allowing the third most SuperDraft points (27.2) to enemy running backs.
DeeJay Dallas, Seattle Seahawks (2.3x)
Pete Carroll certainly does love to establish the run as he recently reinforced this strategy at a press conference. The Seahawks are short-handed at the position with Carson, Travis Homer and Rashaad Penny all expected to be inactive. Carroll mentioned a heavier workload for Dallas going forward, and we should expect to see a heavy dose of him against Washington. Collins is still the lead runner and early downs guy but there should be no confusion about who will be mixing in. Dallas should handle most of the pass-catching duties at the position and has a strong likelihood of outscoring Collins straight up. At a tantalizing multiplier, it may be worth finding out.
Terry McLaurin, Washington Football Team (1.2x)
McLaurin is one of the league’s alpha wideouts and has a fantastic connection with quarterback Taylor Heinicke. McLaurin has topped the 100-yard receiving mark in four games this season. Most recently last week against the Panthers where he dropped a phenomenal 5-103-1 receiving line on seven targets. McLaurin owns a massive 45% of his team’s air yards and a target share near 30%. We will want to mix our lineups in with at least one Seattle wideout as well – either DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett (both 1.3x).
Champion Rankings:
1. Antonio Gibson, RB (2.05x Champion multiplier)
2. DeeJay Dallas, RB (3.45x)
3. DK Metcalf, WR (1.95x)
4. Terry McLaurin, WR (1.8x)
5. Russell Wilson, QB (1.5x)
