DraftKings Slideshow: Rams vs. Cardinals
Budget $50,000, need at least one player from each team.
Captain (1.5 times points, 1.5 times salary) RB Sony Michel, Rams ($10,800)
Michel led the Rams’ backyard in place of Darrell Henderson in Week 13 and finished with 24.9 DraftKings points from 27 touchdowns. Henderson (COVID) will once again be on the field, putting Michel in position to handle the full load and deliver another powerful fantasy performance even in a tough game.
FLEX WR Cooper Kupp, Rams ($12,000)
Kupp continues to be one of the most dominant forces this season. He hit double-digit goals in every single game, minus one, and there’s no reason to avoid him here. Sometimes fantasy football gives you the answer, and this is one of those cases.
ADD DFS MNF: FanDuel lineup
FLEX QB Kyler Murray, Cardinal ($11,200)
Murray is back from a three-game absence and reminds us how explosive he can be as a scorer with 30.8 DK despite only 123 yards of passing. Monday’s conditions will be much more favorable to get through, so it’s a virtual lockdown he’s had more success with than last week in Chicago.
FLEX RB Christian Kirk, Cardinal ($5,600)
Kirk’s current form won’t get anyone excited about bringing him into the lineup on Monday night, but all should be ready for the Cardinals’ passing attack. He’s caught 5 or more passes on 5 occasions, has scored touchdown goals in two games and has also gone over 100 yards at a time. Those aren’t the most impressive achievements, but he has demonstrated various ways through which he can accumulate DK points at a very affordable price.
FLEX TE Zach Ertz, Cardinal ($5,400)
Ertz has had some good performances since arriving in Arizona, including a two-touch effort, 28.8 DK in Week 11 just before goodbye. He will see more action than the two goals he received in last week’s game in Chicago. It should come as no surprise that he plays a vital role in a game that is expected to yield a healthy dose of scoring.
FLEX RB Chase Edmonds, Cardinals ($4,600)
Edmonds (ankle) was a game-time decision, but it was increasingly suggested he could be back on the pitch on Monday night. DFS players should have a spinner ready (Matt Gay, Matt Prater or Tyler Higbee, to name a few, to name a few), but if Edmonds is cleared, we like his potential as a player. catcher at the back and his friendly salary.
