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

The 2023 NFL season is upon us and the first full day of action will conclude with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. The fierce NFC East rivals were both postseason teams last year and with stars like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Saquon Barkley, and Daniel Jones, it’s a surprisingly deep NFL DFS player pool for a single-game slate. However, building variance into your NFL DFS lineups is key in taking down big prize money with the biggest stars so heavily rostered.

Isaiah Hodgins produced better-than-expected numbers for the Giants last season after being claimed off waivers from Buffalo and could be a sneaky value for Sunday Night Football. How much exposure should you have to Hodgins as you set your NFL DFS lineups for Giants vs. Cowboys? Before setting your NFL DFS lineups for Cowboys vs. Giants 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.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Cowboys vs. Giants and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Giants

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Cowboys running back Tony Pollard. Now entering his fifth season in the NFL, Pollard was a fourth-round pick out of Memphis who was drafted to provide a change of pace to Ezekiel Elliott but he proved to be so productive that the Cowboys continued to expand his role throughout the years.

Coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season and producing 1,378 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns, Pollard is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Dallas after the Cowboys let Elliott walk. Pollard rushed for 165 yards on 31 carries in two games against the Giants last season and he should be in for a heavy dose of action in a Dallas offense that needs to establish the run early against a division rival.

Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Giants QB Daniel Jones. After struggling with turnover issues during his first two seasons, Jones has buttoned things up over the last couple of years. He earned a lucrative extension this offseason after leading the Giants to the second round of the playoffs last year.

He finished as a top-10 Fantasy football QB in 2022 after throwing for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns with 708 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. He’s a threat with his arm and his legs, and he played his best football down the stretch last season so he’ll be looking to parlay that success into a fast start in a pivotal Week 1 matchup. See the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS player pool here.
