NFL DFS, Cowboys vs. Buccaneers: DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks for Sunday Night Football

The first Sunday Night Football matchup of the season is always a prestigious one and two teams that made the playoffs last season will go head-to-head in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season with the Buccaneers visiting the Cowboys. Single-game slates in NFL daily Fantasy typically don’t provide many options but the two top offenses in the league last year feature plenty of skill-position talent. At running back, you’ve got Leonard Fournette, Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard all expected to make a large impact.

At wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans and Jalen Tolbert all offer plenty of upside. But which players should you be keeping out of your NFL DFS lineups at all costs and who are the best value plays in the NFL DFS player pool for Dallas vs. Tampa Bay? Before making your NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football between Dallas and Tampa Bay is Cowboys receiver Lamb. The former first-round pick already established himself as the No. 1 receiver in Dallas last season but the offseason exit of Amari Cooper and the injury to Michael Gallup is going to mean even more targets for the Oklahoma product.

Lamb turned 120 targets into 79 receptions for 1,102 yards and six touchdowns last season to make his first Pro Bowl. Now he’s going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting in a Dallas offense that will be looking to throw often to take advantage of a Tampa Bay defense that ranked 21st in passing yards allowed.

Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Fresh off a season where he threw for 4,449 yards and 37 touchdowns, Prescott will have to make some adjustments without Cooper and Gallup in the lineup but he still has plenty of playmakers at his disposal.

Lamb appears poised to take his game to another level as the unquestioned No. 1 option at wide receiver and Dalton Schultz has been a pleasant surprise over the last couple of years. Elliott and Pollard both contribute in the passing game out of the backfield and Tolbert has flashed this preseason. The Buccaneers ranked 23rd in the NFL in pass defense a season ago so expect a big night at home from Prescott. See the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS player pool here.
