Dallas Cowboys DFS Spin
If you’re looking for a volume play at running back, consider the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott has recorded at least 13 carries in 10 straight games, and he’s recorded at least 1 rushing touchdown in 6 straight games. He should get a nice workload against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 12th in the NFL in opponent yards per rushing attempt and 16th in opponent rushing touchdowns per game.
Dallas #1 wide receiver CeeDee Lamb only had 5 catches for 33 yards last weekend, but he should be in for a bounce-back effort on Sunday. The Jaguars’ defense is permitting 7.1 yards per passing attempt, a figure which ranks 26th in the NFL this year. Lamb has recorded at least 5 catches in his last 6 games, and he should have no trouble extending that streak to 7 on Sunday.
Jacksonville Jaguars DFS Spin
Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been dealing with a toe injury for a few weeks now, and he was a limited practice participant on Thursday. The ailment shouldn’t affect his availability for Sunday’s game, but it’s something to mention and keep in mind going forward.
Dallas ranks fourth in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt but is ranked 18th in opponent yards per rushing attempt. You certainly could use Jacksonville tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Zay Jones in DFS, but a running back might be a smarter play. Jacksonville’s Travis Etienne Jr. has carried the ball at least 10 times in 9 of his last 11 games. It would make sense for him to get at least that many carries on Sunday, as the second-year man is averaging a healthy 5 yards per tote on the year.

Cowboys vs. Jaguars Prediction:
It’s mid-December in the NFL and that means that the season’s nicks, bumps, and bruises can begin to wear on a team. The Dallas Cowboys might be 10-3, but they’re only 3-2 on the road this season. What’s more, the Jacksonville Jaguars are 3-0 against the spread as a home underdog this year. I like the fact that the Jaguars are getting more than a field goal at home, and I like that Jacksonville has shown signs of life the past three weeks, as they’ve beaten the Ravens and the Titans in that span. I think this game will be close and I think the Jaguars will do enough to cover the number, so I’ll take Jacksonville and the points at home.
