NFL DFS, Cowboys vs. Seahawks: DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks on Thursday Night Football

DFS pro Mike McClure has revealed his best NFL DFS picks for Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys

· CBS Sports

The NFC playoff picture is wide open, but the Dallas Cowboys (8-3) and Seattle Seahawks (6-5) are two of only five teams in the conference with a winning record. They'll go head-to-head on Thursday Night Football to kick off the Week 13 NFL schedule. Dallas is 5-0 at AT&T Stadium while averaging 41 points per game at home, so with the Cowboys set to host the Seahawks for TNF, should daily Fantasy football players utilize Dallas NFL DFS stacks with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard?

The Seahawks enter on a two-game losing streak. They've reached 20 points only one during that span while allowing 27.8 points over their last four contests. Is it a wise NFL DFS strategy to include Seattle higher-priced players like Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett despite the team's struggles when making NFL DFS picks? Running back Kenneth Walker (oblique) is doubtful and an injury to monitor when forming NFL DFS lineups. Before locking in your NFL DFS picks for Seahawks vs. Cowboys on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to see what Mike McClure has to say.

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

Top NFL DFS picks for Seahawks vs. Cowboys

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf. Even with Seattle's offensive struggles, Metcalf has at least 90 yards in two of his last three games and is averaging his second-best yards per game (67.8) over his five-year career. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound receiver is nearly impossible for an opposing defensive back to match physically, so the 25-year-old will always hold that advantage, even against a strong Cowboys defense.

Metcalf leads Seattle in receiving yards (678) and targets (80), while ranking second in receptions (43). He has at least nine targets in the last three games and outside of a 37-3 loss against the Ravens, Metcalf is averaging 11 targets over his last four games. The Cowboys are 9-point favorites in the latest Week 13 NFL odds, so Seattle could once again find itself needed to throw often.

Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson. The second-year tight end has been a featured piece in the NFL's best offense, which leads the league in scoring (31.5 points per game) this year. Ferguson has three touchdowns over his last five games while trailing only CeeDee Lamb in receptions (40), targets (58) and touchdowns (four) on the year. The 24-year-old has 421 receiving yards, which is third among Dallas pass-catchers.

Ferguson has scored a touchdown in three of five games in Dallas this season, including two of the last three home games, as the Cowboys prepare to host Seattle for TNF. The Cowboys' offense has been even more dominant at home, averaging 41 points per game at AT&T Stadium with at least 30 points in each contest. Ferguson leads the NFL in red zone targets (22) and given the Cowboys' ability to move the ball with ease in Dallas, expect more usage out of Ferguson and possibly another touchdown for TNF at a cheaper price point. See the rest of McClure's NFL DFS player pool right here
