Best NFL DFS Picks Today for TNF - New Orleans Saints vs. Arizona Cardinals - October 20 | 2022 NFL Football Season
The New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals will be featured for Thursday's NFL DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Showdown & Single Game Slates. These slates begin at 8:15 p.m. EDT tonight. Let's look at the best players to target for both production and value this Thursday, October 20.
NFL DFS MVP/Captain Picks
Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals (DraftKings $11.2k, FanDuel $17.0k)
Kyler Murray has been reliable this year from a fantasy perspective, and he's the pretty clear-cut option here to be the best option out of everyone playing in this game. Not only does he average more points than any other player tonight by a wide margin on both platforms, he's guaranteed to have the ball in his hands a ton.
He's averaging 42 passing attempts and 6.3 carries, so look for him to be around these figures once again. He's thrown four picks this year, which is uncharacteristic for the Oklahoma alum, but the Saints' defense has been poor, and they'll be without four-time pro bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Murray also gets DeAndre Hopkins back, who, when healthy, is one of the best receivers in the NFL. Murray also rushed for 100 yards last week, showing off his ability to make plays with his legs. He hasn't racked up a ton of yards, considering how many pass attempts he averages, but expect his total yards to increase if he maintains this many attempts.
Other NFL DFS MVP/Captain Picks: Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $10.6k, FanDuel $15.0k)

NFL DFS Flex Picks
Rondale Moore, WR, Arizona Cardinals (DraftKings $5.8k, FanDuel $9.0k)
Rondale Moore has appeared in just three games this year, but over the last two weeks, he's produced well with several Cardinals receivers sidelined. Moore has seen 18 targets and 13 receptions for 117 yards in his last two. Tonight, DeAndre Hopkins returns, which could cut into Moore's targets and receptions, but Marquise Brown was just placed on the injured reserve. Brown's absence means that Moore should still be featured a decent amount tonight against New Orleans. Kyler Murray attempts more passes than almost every QB in the league, so look for a chunk of those attempts to go Moore's way.
Other NFL DFS Flex Picks: Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $7.4k, FanDuel $11.0k), Wil Lutz, K, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $4.0k, FanDuel $9.5k), Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals (DraftKings $7.0k, FanDuel $10.0k)
