Best NFL DFS Plays for Thanksgiving Day - New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys - November 24 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The New York Giants travel to face the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East tilt this Thanksgiving Day. Which NFL East team is bound for the playoffs? Perhaps both?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $6.2K, FanDuel $8K)
Dak Prescott played as well as any QB in the NFL last week in throttling the Vikings. Prescott completed 22 of 25 passes, and the Cowboys could have scored 50 points if they wanted to. Dak is a chalk play against a Giants defense that is beginning to falter.
Tournaments: Daniel Jones, QB, New York Giants (Draftkings $5.5K, FanDuel $7.5K)
In a losing effort, when the offense looked horrific, Daniel Jones remained sensational for fantasy purposes. The Cowboys are a dreadful match-up, but there remains hope.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants (DraftKings $8K, FanDuel $8.8K)
The Detroit Lions put eight men in the box last week to take away the Giants' rushing attack. I'd expect the Cowboys to take a similar approach. The Giants would be wise to get Saquon Barkley involved as a pass-catcher out of the backfield.
Tournament: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $5.8K, FanDuel $7K)
Tony Pollard is sensational, and most DFS players will gravitate toward his big-play ability. Many DFS players believe Ezekiel Elliott is done, but we saw last weekend that even as a subpar player, the Cowboys still utilize Zeke around the goal line. Zeke could outscore Pollard and gain your team leverage against the field.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys (DraftKings $7.1K, FanDuel $7.9K)
CeeDee Lamb is the chalk play here. The Cowboys didn't need CeeDee Lamb to have a ceiling performance last week, as they obliterated the Vikings' defense.
DFS players have short memories but remember two weeks ago when CeeDee Lamb had the best game of his young career. The Giants have been suspect on defense as of late. Take full advantage by adding CeeDee Lamb to your lineup.
Tournament: Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants (DraftKings $5K, FanDuel $6.4K)
Darius Slayton has become a revelation for the New York Giants. Think about where we were earlier this off-season. The talk around the New York Giants surrounded the comeback of Saquon Barkley, a bounce-back season for Kenny Golladay, an emerging playmaker in Kadarious Toney, an exciting rookie receiver in Wan'Dale Robinson, and a new coaching staff bringing renewed optimism to a franchise in dire need.
Darius Slayton was left for dead. Slayton was an afterthought for the franchise, sparking conversations about whether the Giants may trade Darius Slayton. Fast-forward a few months, and Darius Slayton has become the top receiver for the Giants and the most consistent pass-catcher they have had all season long.
