Tennessee’s defense ranks in the top half of the NFL in scoring, but the Titans are in the bottom third of the league in total defense. They have allowed the third-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers this season, so should you target Cowboys wideouts with your TNF NFL DFS picks when the Titans face the Cowboys? Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has gone over 100 receiving yards in his last two games, catching 17 of a possible 18 targets in those contests. Wide receiver Noah Brown is the second-leading receiver on the team, but he has been held to 50 receiving yards or fewer in eight of his last nine games. Should you fade him with your TNF NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks? Before you make your NFL DFS picks for Cowboys vs. Titans on Thursday Night Football on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice and strategy from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb. Over his last two games, Lamb has caught 17-of-18 total targets for 246 yards and two touchdowns. On TNF, he goes up against a Titans defense that has been a bottom-three Fantasy unit against opposing wide receivers this season.
Lamb has the fifth-most targets of any wide receiver this season (135) and the third-most receptions since his 11-catch performance against Green Bay in Week 10 with 49. Philadelphia still hasn’t locked up the NFC East and Dallas’ offense is playing like it wants to pull the rug out from under the Eagles in its final two games. As many as six defensive starters could be out for the Titans, and Dallas should look to make a statement on Thursday by showcasing its most explosive player.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott. On Christmas Eve against the Eagles, Elliott finished with more rushing attempts than Pollard by a 16-9 count. With Pollard primarily relegated to work in the passing game, Elliott finished with 55 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Elliott missed Weeks 8 and 10, but for the season, he has 829 rushing yards with a 4.06 yards per carry average. He also has 11 touchdowns, and since he came back in Week 11, he has the most rushing touchdowns of any running back with seven. The Titans’ defensive front is in better shape than it has been in recent weeks, but linebackers Zach Cunningham (elbow) and Bud Dupree (chest) left last week’s game with injuries and LB Dylan Cole (ankle) was already out before last week’s game.
