Best NFL DFS Bets for Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants - Week 11 - November 20 | 2022 NFL Football Season
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.
