Daily Fantasy millionaire Mike McClure shares his top NFL daily Fantasy football picks for Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys on SNF
The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will meet in a pivotal Sunday Night Football showdown for both teams. Tampa Bay is riding a four-game winning streak after cruising to a 40-17 win against the Chargers last week. The Buccaneers finished with 288 passing yards and 223 rushing yards, bolstering NFL DFS lineups across the country. They are facing a Cowboys defense that has been among the worst in the league, allowing 356.0 yards per game, but should you build your NFL DFS stacks around Tampa Bay’s offense?
There could be some exploitable matchups on the other side of the ball too, as Tampa Bay has allowed even more yards per game (356.9). Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has thrown for at least 200 yards in three of his last five starts, making him an intriguing addition to SNF DFS strategy.

Top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield. The 29-year-old has been one of the top quarterbacks in the league this season, ranking fifth in Fantasy points per game. Mayfield ranks third in yards per attempt and seventh in passing yards per game since Week 12 (among 33 qualified quarterbacks).
He is facing a struggling Cowboys defense that has allowed the eighth-most yards per attempt and the 10th-most passing touchdowns since Week 10. They rely heavily on their pressure rate, but Mayfield should have no problem eluding that. He leads the NFL in yards per attempt when pressured, making him a clear choice to include in your NFL DFS lineups. See who else to roster here.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle. He is coming off his best performance of the season, finishing with 149 rushing yards on 25 carries against Carolina. Dowdle has averaged more than five yards per carry in three straight outings, despite commanding a heavy workload.
He has notched at least 18 carries in four consecutive games, going over 110 rushing yards in his last three performances. Dowdle started the season with less than 10 carries in four of his first six games, but his workload has continued to increase as the season has progressed. There is no reason to expect that to change on Sunday night, so McClure recommends adding Dowdle to your lineups. See who else to roster here.
