Don’t Miss Out An NFC North Matchup That Could Be One Of The Standout Games Of The Season on Monday night football.

Monday Night Football is poised to deliver an exciting spectacle with the Bears taking on the Vikings, potentially marking it as one of the standout games this season. A mere three weeks ago, the matchup between Tyson Bagent and Sean Mannion had many bracing for what could have been the season’s least thrilling game. However, the return of Justin Fields has injected a renewed sense of anticipation, sparking hopes of him evolving into the dynamic quarterback fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Dubbed the “p-astronaut,” Chandler has earned his nickname with a standout performance as a key player in the offense and special teams against the Broncos. Despite a relatively high price tag of $5,800 on the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate, Chandler has showcased his value by averaging 5.3 yards per touch in his recent games, positioning himself as the Vikings’ response to Jaylen Warren’s impact, even without full control of the offense.

 

The Bears’ defense, allowing 3.4 yards per rush and conceding 11 touchdowns to running backs in 2023, sets the stage for Chandler to shine, especially considering their vulnerability to touchdown catches by running backs – conceding five, more than any other team in the league. This game could be the breakthrough Chandler needs to end his touchdown drought.

Priced at a mere $2,000 on the DraftKings DFS slate, Powell emerges as a steal with an impressive average of 9.2 yards per touch, putting him in league with higher-priced players like T.J. Hockenson. Despite starting only one game for the Vikings, Powell has already surpassed his receiving yards from any of his four previous seasons, showcasing his potential for significant contributions.

Over the last five games, Powell has seen 20 targets, catching 14 of them, and accumulating 156 receiving yards alongside 7 rushing yards. Another undervalued Viking on the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate is Oliver, priced at just $2,600. With reliable hands and a knack for crucial receptions, Oliver becomes even more crucial for the Vikings in the absence of Jefferson.

Mooney, boasting an impressive average of 14 yards per catch in 2023, comes at a reasonable $4,800 on the DraftKings DFS slate, especially when compared to the higher-priced D.J. Moore. Despite a slight dip in targets last week, Mooney has consistently performed, averaging 20 targets in his last five games and showcasing an impressive 14.8 yards per catch.

For budget-conscious fantasy enthusiasts, Santos, the Bears’ kicker, proves to be a cost-effective option at just $4,600 on the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate. With a solid average of 8.3 points per game and a better value than Greg Joseph, Santos stands out as a reliable choice for those seeking a scoring boost in their lineup. Don’t miss out on these potential DFS steals in what promises to be a thrilling NFC North matchup!
