Best DFS Bets for Sunday-Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings-Week 11-November 20 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The Dallas Cowboys face off against the Minnesota Vikings in one of the signature match-ups of the weekend. The Dallas Cowboys will try to gain ground on the Philadelphia Eagles as the Minnesota Vikings make a run for the #1 overall seed. Who will win in this titanic match-up?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6.6K, FanDuel $7.5K)
Dak Prescott gets a dream match-up against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings' defense has struggled against the pass all season long. With his full complement of weapons, Dak Prescott should be in for a day against Minnesota.
Tournaments: Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings (Draftkings $6.1K, FanDuel $7.6K)
DFS players will gravitate towards Kirk Cousins' counterpart Dak Prescott. If this game is to be the shootout we all think it could be, Kirk Cousins' ceiling will be elevated as well.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $8K, FanDuel $8.3K)
The Cowboys' defense is concerned for the Vikings' offense, but you can't argue against Dalvin Cook's usage. Cook has taken over the Vikings' backfield and should be used as a pass-catcher out of the backfield in this one, elevating his ceiling.
Tournament: Tony Pollard, RB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $8K)
Tony Pollard is one of the most explosive backs in the NFL. In the absence of Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard took the lead back duties by storm and never looked back. Pollard is more of a tournament play because many DFS players may be scared off by the return of Ezekiel Elliott, which could result in Pollard's ownership being lower than it should be.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $7.5K, FanDuel $8.1K)
CeeDee Lamb had the best game of his young career last week against the Green Bay Packers. We saw the Cowboys coaching staff deploy Lamb, moving him around the offensive formation and working him into the slot.
The Minnesota Vikings' secondary continues to be a unit to target and their weakness. Expect the Cowboys coaching staff to move Lamb into the slot to take advantage.
Tournament: Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $9.1K, FanDuel $9.1K)
Justin Jefferson is one of the safest DFS plays regardless of position. Kirk Cousins feeds the dynamic receiver.
The Vikings' coaching staff did a fantastic job of moving Jefferson around the Vikings' formation, finding mismatches, and getting him involved down the field and underneath.
Some DFS players may fade Justin Jefferson, given the tough match-up with Trevon Diggs and the tenacious Dallas Cowboys defense. Other players' hesitancy is your gain.
