DFS Millionaire's Top Picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers Thursday Night Football

The Week 5 NFL schedule kicks off on 'Thursday Night Football' as the Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 8:15 p.m. ET. Dallas (-8.5) is the largest favorite in Week 5, so that could impact how to approach NFL DFS picks for this single-game slate. Tampa Bay has more questions than answers on offense with rookie Jalon Daniels under center in place of Baker Mayfield (thumb), but the smaller player pool means you'll need to lean on players from both rosters.

Top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Bucs vs. Cowboys on 'TNF' is Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb. Lamb enters the week atop the NFL leaderboard in receptions (37) and receiving yards (498), while he's tied for third in receiving touchdowns (4). He's coming off an absolutely dominant performance against the Texans as he piled up a 17-189-1 receiving line. Star Tampa Bay safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (rib) went down in Week 4 and is expected to miss this game, giving an even bigger boost to the Dallas passing attack.

He's also building around Bucs running back Bucky Irving. His numbers aren't flashy this season, but he's a steady source of touches as he's had at least 15 in every game. Dallas ranks 31st in rushing defense this year, so expect Tampa Bay to lean heavily on the ground game, especially with Mayfield out at least another week.  See who else to roster at SportsLine .
