Commanders vs 49erd Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 6 MNF Top-10
Washington Commanders Overview There is a long list of key players out for the Commanders including running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), backup quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee), defensive ends Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle) and Javontae Jean-Baptiste (pectoral), cornerback Christian Holmes (hamstring) and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (IR).
Cowboys vs Packers Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 6 SNF Top-10
Ask The Sims anything about Cowboys at Packers: Dallas Cowboys Overview Defensive back Cobie Durant (hamstring) and offensive tackle Drew Shelton remain out, with defensive tackle LT Overton (foot) questionable, though having not practiced and he last saw action in the opener. Joey Porter Jr. is questionable as well, having only suited up for the Cowboys in Week 4 after missing Week 5 with an illness. He tweaked an ankle in practice, though indications are that he hopes to play Sunday night.
Seahawks vs Broncos Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 6 TNF Top-10
Ask The Sims anything about Seahawks at Broncos: Seattle Seahawks Overview Linebacker Drake Thomas (ankle) and rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) are out, while Zach Charbonnet (knee) is not quite ready to return from the PUP reserve. Quarterback Seattle has dropped two of the last three, mostly due to turnovers. In Week 3 it was a painful 33-11 loss in Washington, with Sam Darnold tossing a pair of picks, including a 50-yard pick-six, while Price lost a fumble.
Bills vs Rams Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 5 MNF Top-10
Buffalo Bills Overview Cornerback Jordan Hancock is on the IR with a hamstring issue and position-mate Te’Cory Couch tweaked his in Week 4 and he may be out as well. That could really impact things as Dee Alford (ankle) is questionable as well and the Bills could be down to understudies trying to stop the Los Angeles aerial attack. The defensive line is in trouble as well with Ed Oliver (knee) out and Landon Jackson (knee) questionable.
Raves vs Falcons Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 5 SNF Top-10
Baltimore Raves Overview The Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson (ankle) and newly acquired center Cam Jurgens (concussion), with offensive guard Andrew Vorhees (foot) questionable after getting in two limited practices. Additionally, center Ethan Pocic and his back up Jovaughn Gwyn are already on the IR.
Buccaneers vs Cowboys Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 5 TNF Top-10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Overview Tampa is one of five teams that are still winless. The Buccaneers have seen their scoring slide each week from 27, to 19, to 16 and finally 14 last week without Baker Mayfield. Fortunately the defense has followed a similar trajectory, with 33, 23, 23 and 17 points allowed.
Falcons vs Saints Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 4 MNF Top-10
Atlanta Falcons Overview The Falcons have a mostly clean injury report, having last played during Week 3 Thursday Night Football. Linebacker Divine Deablo and defensive end Samson Ebukam are both questionable with hamstring injuries. It is important to note that top cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. (groin), defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand (quad) and offensive lineman Cameron Williams (ankle) are all on injured reserve.
Lions vs Panthers Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 4 SNF Top-10
Detroit Lions Overview The Lions are running out of defensive backs with Brian Branch, Kerby Joseph, Thomas Harper and Avonte Maddox all out and D.J. Reed (rib) has only practiced in a limited fashion this week. The offensive line is also short on depth with Cade Mays, Ben Bartch and Giovanni Manu sidelined for Sunday Night Football.
Steelers vs Browns Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 4 TNF Top-10
Pittsburgh Steelers Overview Running back Rico Dowdle will miss his second game with a toe injury and cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey (wrist) and Brandin Echols (concussion) are both questionable. Joey Porter Jr. was moved to Dallas in a Wednesday night trade, though he had not played this season as he was unhappy with contract negotiations and a “back issue” kept him on the injury report.
Eagles vs Bears Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 3 MNF Top-10
Philadelphia Eagles Overview Dallas Goedert (knee) is out and rookie Eli Stowers (quad/hamstring) is already on the IR, thinning out the tight end corps. Tackle Fred Johnson (knee) has been ruled out and guard Landon Dickerson went on the IR with his own knee issue after the opener. Running back Will Shipley (foot) is questionable after being limited this week in practice, though Saquon Barkley (stinger) returned to action in Week 2 and does not carry an injury designation for tonight.
Rams vs Broncos Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 3 SNF Top-10
Los Angeles Rams Overview This will be the third week we have Los Angeles under the prime-time lights and they will be on Monday Night Football in Week 5. The team is without Myles Garrett who went on the IR after having arthroscopic knee surgery, though Aaron Donald did buoy the spirits of the defense and the fans coming out of retirement.
Falcons vs Packers Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 3 TNF Top-10
Atlanta Falcons Overview Quarterback It has been a rough start to the season for Atlanta, with the Falcons forced to start Cooper Rush for the first two games after “winner by default” of the offseason quarterback competition when Tua Tagovailoa suffered an oblique injury in the days leading up to the opener.
Giants vs Rams Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 2 MNF Top-10
New York Giants Overview Shout out to the Giants who took care of business last Sunday night against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. New head coach John Harbaugh leaned into the strength of his players with a bruising rushing attack lead by Cam Skattebo and keeping second-year signal-caller Jaxson Dart within schemed parameters and designed runs. This is a very physical style and likely to take a toll over the next 17 weeks.
Colts vs Chiefs Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 2 SNF Top-10
Indianapolis Colts Overview Ashton Dulin is out, though the Colts have an otherwise clear injury report. In their opener at home, Indianapolis was overrun by the Baltimore Ravens 41-23, barely cracking 250 net yards on offense. Jonathan Taylor looked good with 19/98/2 on the ground, with four targets for three catches and 23 yards. Rookie Seth McGowan was on the field for six snaps (11%), though he had no touches and saw one target.
Lions Vs Bills Showdown DFS: EMac's Week 2 TNF Top-10
Detroit Lions Overview The Lions escaped a shameful loss at home on Sunday, by the grace of New Orleans failing on a 2pt conversion to cement victory in overtime. The defensive backfield is dealing with multiple injured players, which is going to mean that the Detroit offense will likely need to push towards 30 points to have a chance of garnering a road win tonight. Isiah Pacheco was brought in to provide Jahmyr Gibbs some relief, though he is on the IL after needing back surgery.

NBA DFS Picks & Building Blocks Today: Jazz, Mavs and MORE! (Dec. 15)
Monday has the NBA action tipping off at 7:00 p.m. ET on DraftKings and FanDuel. Check out the Stokastic NBA Tools to see how Kyle Filipowski, Nikola Jokic, James Harden and a host of others rate for tonight’s NBA DFS action! Now let’s get into some NBA DFS strategy for Monday, Dec. 15.
NFL Monday Night Football: Dolphins at Steelers (Week 15)
Monday Night Football brings us a Dolphins-Steelers matchup with Pittsburgh (7-6) half a game ahead of the Baltimore Ravens (7-7) in the AFC Central, holding a 76% probability of winning the division. Miami (6-7) is technically still alive with an incredibly slim chance of nabbing the last Wild Card slot, needing to win out and get help from multiple other teams. The Dolphins won four straight and five of the last six games, so keeping momentum is a priority for the franchise.
NFL Sunday Night Football: Vikings at Cowboys (Week 15)
Sunday Night Football brings us a Vikings-Cowboys matchup that carries real DFS intrigue, even with both teams fading from the playoff picture. In this NFL DFS showdown, Dallas enters at 6-6-1 with only a narrow path forward, while Minnesota sits at 5-8 and faces virtual elimination if it loses another game. From a fantasy perspective, this game still offers opportunity, especially with the Cowboys continuing to allow production in key DFS positions.
NBA DFS Picks & Building Blocks Today: NBA Cup Semifinals (Dec. 13)
Saturday brings forth the NBA Cup Semifinals, with the action getting underway at 5:30 p.m. ET on DraftKings and FanDuel. The stakes for these games are high, with the winners advancing to the Cup Finals, giving players the chance to earn $530,933 with a victory on Tuesday.

NFL Monday Night Football DFS Picks: Eagles at Chargers (Week 14)
The Chargers (8-4) have a long row to hoe in order to catch Denver (11-2), though they have a 57% probability of landing a Wild Card berth as 2.5-point underdogs in Los Angeles tonight. Philadelphia (8-4) is looking to secure the NFC East and can grab the next rung on the ladder, putting further pressure on Dallas (6-6-1), and a win would all but clinch the division. There are a lot of moving parts tonight at SoFi Stadium, located in Inglewood, Calif.
NFL Sunday Night Football DFS Picks: Texans and Chiefs (Week 14)
Similar to Thursday Night Football, both Houston (7-5) and Kansas City (6-6) are essentially in must-win spots to make the playoffs. The Texans have two paths, trailing Jacksonville and Indianapolis (8-4) by one game in the AFC South, though those in turn are two close competitors in the Wild Card race. The Chiefs are in real trouble of missing the postseason, having lost three of their last four games, and it is unlikely they will catch Denver (10-2) for the AFC West title.

Dallas (6-5-1) is riding a three-game winning streak and sits on the postseason bubble. The Cowboys have a 23% likelihood of making the playoffs, including a 10% chance of overtaking Philadelphia (8-4) for the NFC East title, though it all hinges on a victory tonight. The Lions are favored by a field goal at home and are half a game up on Dallas in the Wild Card race.

NFL Monday Night Football DFS Picks: Giants at Patriots (Week 13)

NFL Thursday Night Football DFS Picks: Bengals at Ravens (Week 13)
Cincinnati will at least have some hope now that the franchise quarterback is poised to return to action after missing 2 1/2 months. The Bengals (3-8) are not yet mathematically eliminated, though the team probably needs to win out and get help down the stretch. Technically, it is three games behind both Baltimore and Pittsburgh for the NFC North crown, so from that perspective, it could lose tonight and still remain in the hunt for the postseason.

Dallas is in a must-win situation with the NFC East crown likely out of reach. It is likely going to take at least nine (if not 10) wins to have a chance at the final Wild Card berth in the NFC, which means the 3-5-1 pretty much need to win out. Las Vegas is in a tough spot at 2-7 and looking at a similarly insurmountable path as the Cowboys.
