Best NFL DFS Picks Sunday: Jets vs. Vikings-December 4 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
Who knew at the start of the season that a match-up between the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings would have many intriguing storylines and playoff implications? Will the Vikings continue to make a run for the #1 seed in the NFC, or will Mike White keep his magic going?
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $7.4K)
Kirk Cousins has been silently solid for DFS purposes. If Mike White and the Jets offense can keep their positive momentum going, we could have a sneaky shoot-out on our hands.
Tournaments: Mike White, RB, New York Jets (Draftkings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.9K)
Mike White has shown he can perform well at the NFL level. White draws a spectacular match-up against a vulnerable Vikings defense.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $7.2K, FanDuel $7.6K)
While there is some uncertainty surrounding the Jets' backfield, there is none in Minnesota. The Vikings have given Dalvin Cook substantially more work as the season has progressed. Dalvin Cook is the chalk play here.
Tournament: Zonovan Knight, RB, New York Jets (DraftKings $4.6K, FanDuel $5.8K)
Zonovan Knight was surprisingly spectacular last week. The Jets will be without Michael Carter this week, opening up an opportunity for Knight to step up. James Robinson will likely be involved again, but Zonovan Knight should receive most of the work in the Jets' backfield.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $8.9K, FanDuel $8.7K)
Justin Jefferson is one of the most dynamic and consistent options in DFS today. Jefferson excels against man coverage, and obliterates zone coverage. The Jets play a ton of zone so it will be fascinating to see if they stick in zone coverage or ask Sauce Gardner to travel with Jefferson. The Vikings do a great job of moving Justin Jefferson all over the formation, so regardless of defensive strategy, expect Justin Jefferson to excel.
Tournament: Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.3K, FanDuel $6.6K)
Garrett Wilson has been on fire for the New York Jets, and the switch from Zach Wilson to Mike White under center has only benefited the shifty rookie receiver. Wilson is the alpha receiver for the Jets.
Corey Davis has taken a backseat at this juncture, and the Jets and Elijah Moore don't seem to see eye-to-eye. Expect the rookie's success to continue against a Vikings team that struggles mightily against quick receivers.
