Risk and Reward-Thursday Game
I wished to give my take on the WAS vs DAL Thursday Game
Risk and Reward-Thursday Game Analysis will include:
- Game Script
- Defense against the Position (DAP) Data
- Non-PPR and PPR Rankings (100 to 0) Green to Red
- My Risk Assessments for each Player (High, Mid, and Low Risk)
I have constructed these data charts below to maximize your visual view of the entire game landscape. Use thoughtfully. My philosophy is less is more? I will hit the highlights but will not give you the same old tired pundit driven opinions.

WAS
They are the favorite even away from home due to the DAL poor play after losing Elliot! Cousins seems to have a rushing game with Perine and will rely on that more than usual tonight!
Cousins faces a +3.5 DAP and +1 QB DAP and should still score by passing 3 scores seems to be the ceiling. He is a mid risk 88 tonight. Mid Risk as he has been inconsistent over the season.
His WRs will battle +4 WR DAP and should get 2 to 3 scores. Crowder seems to be getting healthier and should have a nice evening of PPR grabs and a score. Doctson has also been doing better and figures to score. Finally, Grant has been of use to Cousins and can collect yards and a score. Crowder is low risk 90, Doctson at mid risk 77 and Grant a mid risk 49!
Will Davis bounce back from the Zero Last week. Cost me some games as I am sure it did for you. That was very unexpected! I still get him a nice rank of 82 low risk. I will play him once again.
Perine breaks a 100 and gets a score. Play him in DFS as well. He goes into a -0.3 RB DAP. I have him at 85 low risk. Marshall is a longshot play and high risk 22. I added him to build depth. He is a stash and hope player in your playoffs

DAL
DAK faces a WAS D Opponent giving a -2.1 DAP and -0.3 QB DAP. Not so tough but given the last few weeks seems to be enough to stop the DAL offense! I have DAK at mid risk 54. He is just a quarterback this week!
The WRs of DAL face -4.3 WR DAP. Concerned about them all. DEZ is a low risk 85 (too generous?). T Will at 55 low risk with Beasley at mid risk 48 and Butler at 36 mid risk. Maybe a Beasley night? Caution suggested
The TE Witten gets a good spot of +3 TE DAP and can score 1 or 2 with nice PPR grabs. DFS play is fine! HE is mid risk 83 TE this week!
Morris and Smith contend with a -1.3 RB DAP and are mid risk 58 to 47 ranked respectively! Smith has been doing better than Morris and can be a desperation play!
