Scott Engel labeled CeeDee Lamb a priority fantasy play, predicting a sharp rebound from last week’s drop-marred performance. Lamb still delivered 7 catches for 110 yards at Philadelphia and now faces a Giants secondary that allowed multiple explosive plays to Washington receivers. Engel reminded listeners that Prescott torched New York for 404 yards and five TDs in their last meeting at AT&T Stadium and highlighted Dallas’ 63 % red-zone pass rate in Week 1. With the Cowboys carrying a 27-point implied team total and the Giants surrendering a 126.3 QB rating on slot targets in the opener, Engel forecasted double-digit targets and top-5 wide-receiver upside for Lamb in both DFS lineups and season-long leagues.

Engel grabbed Malik Nabers +125 at BetMGM to score, stressing that New York must lean on its best playmaker to stay competitive. Nabers has recorded eight-plus receptions in each of his last two meetings with Dallas and opened 2025 with a 5-71 line despite the Giants’ overall struggles. Engel expects the Cowboys to jump out early, creating a pass-heavy script that should yield 35+ Russell Wilson dropbacks and multiple red-zone looks for Nabers. With no other Giant topping 40 receiving yards in Week 1 and Dallas’ secondary adjusting to post-Parsons personnel changes, Engel likes the + odds for Nabers to find the end zone.

Scott Engel laid the points with Dallas at -4.5 on DraftKings, saying the matchup tilts heavily toward the Cowboys. Engel cited Russell Wilson’s feeble Giants debut (17-for-37, 168 yards, 44 rushing yards) and his diminished mobility at age 36 as reasons New York’s offense will stall again. He noted the Giants have been outscored 89-12 across their last three Week 1 games and generated only 231 total yards in the opener. Dallas, meanwhile, has taken 15 of the past 16 meetings, and despite trading Micah Parsons still fields a nasty front that just added Kenny Clark. Offensively Dak Prescott completed 76.6 % of his throws in Week 1 even with several drops, while CeeDee Lamb (7-110) and new bell-cow Javonte Williams (2 rushing TDs) give Dallas multiple paths to a touchdown-plus victory. Engel expects the Giants’ defense to tire from constant short drives, allowing the Cowboys to cruise past the 4.5-point number.
