Best NFL DFS Picks Monday Night Football: Saints vs. Buccaneers-December 5 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The New Orleans Saints travel to Raymond James Stadium to take on NFC South rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These two teams know each other well and aren't very fond of each other. The NFC South remains up in the air, and the winner of this game may have the inside track on the division.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Tom Brady, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DraftKings $15.6, FanDuel $16K)
One consistent question of the 2022 season has been: when will the Buccaneers' offense turn it around? The Buccaneers have their full arsenal of weapons present for Tom Brady on Monday Night Football.
Tournaments: Andy Dalton, QB, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $13.5, FanDuel $13K)
Few DFS players will play Andy Dalton as opposed to Tom Brady. If Andy Dalton can keep it close or outscore Brady, you gain leverage against the field while saving money for the rest of your lineup.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DraftKings $10.5, FanDuel $11K)
Rachaad White has taken over the lead role in the Buccaneers' backfield. White offers more explosion than Leonard Fournette at this point in his career. White is a dynamic pass-catcher who is beginning to improve as a runner. In a game where the Buccaneers should be leading, Rachaad White should have plenty of opportunities to put this game away on the ground.
Tournament: Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $15K, FanDuel $15K)
The Buccaneers' defense has been one of the best against the run for several seasons. Many DFS players will shy away from Kamara, given the Saints' recent struggles and their match-up with the Buccaneers. This combination provides an opportunity to gain leverage on the tournament field.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DraftKings $15.9K, FanDuel $12.5K)
Chris Godwin has become the most reliable pass-catcher for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. It took some time to knock off the initial rust following his knee injury, but Godwin is beginning to look like the explosive intermediate route runner we remember. Expect the Saints to attempt to take away the outside passing game and Mike Evans, allowing the Buccaneers to target Chris Godwin out of the slot position.
Tournament: Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $12.6K, FanDuel $13.5K)
Chris Olave has been better than expected during his rookie season. Olave has become one of the top 'Air Yards' specialists with his ability to stretch the field. Olave can take the top off a defense with the best of them.
The Saints will likely struggle to run the ball against the Buccaneers' front seven. The Saints will be chasing throughout, meaning Chris Olave should have plenty of opportunities as the top target for the Saints.
