The NFL’s Thanksgiving DFS slate has wrapped up to kick off Week 12 of the season. Let’s recap our top plays from the three-game slate and see who came out on top.
Quarterbacks
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (1.1x score multiplier)
What a wild ride for the Cowboys as they lost in overtime versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Prescott played a great game for fantasy, though, completing 32 of his 47 passes for 375 yards and two touchdowns. The Raiders stayed just one step ahead to secure the win, as the Cowboys didn’t hold a lead once.
Andy Dalton, Chicago Bears (1.55x)
In a low-scoring affair, the Bears squeaked out a victory in the final seconds to start off Thanksgiving right. Dalton finished the game with 317 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception. He completed 24 of his 39 passing attempts, with his lone score going to tight end Jimmy Graham.
Running Backs
David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (1.15x)
As mentioned, this Bears game was a low-scoring affair with very little action from Montgomery. He carried the ball just 17 times for 46 rushing yards, adding three receptions for 28 yards. It became the Darnell Mooney show for Chicago, which allowed the Bears to come back for the victory.
Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys (1.1x)
The Dallas backfield has become the Tony Pollard show, and it happened once again Thursday. Elliott had one fewer carry than Pollard and just 25 rushing yards but did get a rushing touchdown. On the bright side, he had two more receptions than Pollard, but for fewer receiving yards as he finished the game with 24. While it was a rough day for the Cowboys, this backfield has a deadly 1-2 combination, but that only makes it difficult for fantasy football players.
Top Wide Receivers
Marquise Goodwin, Chicago Bears (1.95x)
Goodwin was non-existent during Thursday’s game against the Lions even before he left with a foot injury. With no targets during the game, Goodwin wasn’t the secret play on the slate sadly.
Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills (1.1x)
The Bills put on a show for Thanksgiving, as they routed the New Orleans Saints 31-6. Diggs had a helping hand, finishing the game with seven receptions for 74 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Tight Ends
Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys (1.35x)
Even though it was a tough loss for the Cowboys, Schultz did find his way to the end zone. He finished the game with 3 receptions for 46 yards, a touchdown and a two-point conversion to help bring the Cowboys back into the game.
Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills (1.65x)
Ending up as the best tight end on the slate, Knox was a big target in the red zone. He finished the game with three receptions with two of those being for scores. He finished with just 32 receiving yards but with the 1.65x multiplier, he did more than what was needed.
