Ready to crush the 2024 DraftKings Monday Night Football Showdown slate of Baltimore @Tampa Bay. Whether you’re locking in a dual-threat quarterback like Lamar Jackson as your captain or searching for value plays like Sean Tucker, there’s a lot to break down.
This game has the potential to be a high-scoring affair, with Jackson and Baker Mayfield leading their respective offenses. Expect both quarterbacks to lean on their playmakers—Zay Flowers and Chris Godwin will be heavily involved in their respective game plans. The Ravens’ defense has been stingy in forcing tight coverage, while the Buccaneers’ pass rush has surged lately, setting up a classic battle under the Monday night lights.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Baltimore @Tampa Bay Captain Picks
Lamar Jackson ($16,500 Capt/ $11,000 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lamar Jackson remains a top-tier option for the captain spot, bringing both his arm and legs to the table in every matchup. He shredded the Commanders’ secondary last week, throwing for 323 yards and adding a touchdown through the air. Jackson’s dual-threat ability was on display as he chipped in 40 rushing yards, continuing his trend of being a reliable fantasy asset. With back-to-back games of over 300 passing yards and a solid 10:2 TDratio on the season, Jackson is in prime form. Facing a Tampa Bay defense that has had trouble containing mobile quarterbacks, Jackson could be in for another big night.
Derrick Henry ($16,200 Capt/ $10,800 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Derrick Henry continues to prove he’s still among the elite at his position, bulldozing through Washington’s defense for 132 yards and two touchdowns last week. It was the third time in four games that Henry surpassed 100 rushing yards while finding the end zone multiple times. His physical running style and ability to break big plays make him a high-ceiling captain choice, especially against a Buccaneers team that has struggled to contain the run. With a league-leading 704 rushing yards and a stellar 5.9 yards per carry, Henry is poised for another big game. He’s a great pick if you expect Tennessee to lean on their ground game to control the tempo against Tampa Bay.
Chris Godwin ($15,600 Capt/ $10,400 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chris Godwin is a prime choice for the captain spot after a standout game against the Saints, where he hauled in 11 catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Godwin has been a model of consistency in the Buccaneers’ offense, racking up no fewer than five receptions in any game this season. His role as a primary target for Baker Mayfield in a high-volume passing attack makes him a solid anchor for your DFS lineup. Coming off his first multi-touchdown game of the season, Godwin’s connection with Mayfield should remain strong against Baltimore’s secondary. If Tampa Bay needs to keep pace with the Ravens’ offense, Godwin is likely to see plenty of opportunities.
Baker Mayfield ($14,400 Capt/ $9,600 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Baker Mayfield is coming off a huge performance, throwing for 325 yards and four touchdowns in a blowout win over the Saints. While he did toss three interceptions, Mayfield’s aggressive style has paid off, delivering multiple touchdown passes in three consecutive games. His connection with Chris Godwin and the Buccaneers’ revamped passing attack under Liam Coen gives him plenty of upside in Week 7. Even with a tough Ravens defense on tap, Mayfield’s momentum and ability to put up numbers make him a high-ceiling captain option. If Tampa Bay finds themselves in a shootout, Mayfield could be a difference-maker in your lineup.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Baltimore @Tampa Bay Flex Picks
Mike Evans ($10,200 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mike Evans (hamstring) is fully cleared for Monday’s game against the Ravens, and that’s great news for Tampa Bay’s passing attack. The veteran receiver has a reputation for playing through injuries, and he could be a key weapon against a Baltimore defense that excels against the run. Expect Evans to be a prime target in the red zone, especially given his size advantage. If the Buccaneers have to throw to keep pace with Lamar Jackson and company, Evans could see plenty of opportunities.
Zay Flowers ($8,600 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zay Flowers has been on fire recently, topping 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games. He caught all nine of his targets for 132 yards against the Commanders, all coming in a productive first half. The Ravens’ sophomore wideout has become one of Lamar Jackson’s go-to options in the passing game, boasting a 33-401-1 line on the season. With the Buccaneers’ secondary facing challenges, Flowers could be poised for another big night under the lights.
Bucky Irving ($7,000 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bucky Irving stepped up in a big way during Rachaad White‘s absence, notching 105 total yards and a touchdown on 64 percent of the snaps. However, with head coach Todd Bowles signaling a “hot hand” approach, it’s tough to gauge Irving’s role if White returns to the fold. The rookie has shown he can be explosive, but he’ll face a stingy Baltimore run defense that could limit his opportunities. Irving’s ceiling is intriguing, but his floor is lower with competition for carries in Tampa Bay’s backfield.
Rachaad White ($6,600 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rachaad White (foot) is officially questionable but trending toward playing after a full practice on Saturday. If he suits up, White could be a factor in both the run and pass game, especially with Todd Bowles emphasizing a “hot hand” strategy in the backfield. His presence would cut into the workloads of Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, creating a crowded backfield situation. White’s versatility and pass-catching ability could make him valuable, particularly if the Buccaneers need to keep pace with a high-powered Ravens offense.
Rashod Bateman ($6,400 Flex) ⭐️
Rashod Bateman made the most of his limited opportunities last week, catching all four targets for 71 yards. While Zay Flowers dominated the target share, Bateman still managed to contribute with a season-high in receiving yards. The Ravens’ passing game could be active in a matchup with the Buccaneers, making Bateman a potential value play. He remains a risky option but could deliver big returns if he manages to get into the end zone.
Isaiah Likely ($5,200 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Isaiah Likely has seen his role fluctuate in the Ravens’ offense, but he managed two catches for 27 yards on four targets against the Commanders. Despite the quiet outing, Likely’s target share remains solid, and he continues to see a decent number of snaps. His ability to get open down the field and in the red zone makes him a potential sleeper pick, especially in a game where Baltimore may need to keep up through the air. If Mark Andrews draws extra attention, Likely could find opportunities to surprise.
Mark Andrews ($4,800 Flex) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mark Andrews continues to be a critical part of Baltimore’s offense, coming off a game where he snagged three catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. The tight end hasn’t been the focal point of the passing game as much this season, partly due to the Ravens’ commitment to the ground game with Derrick Henry. However, Andrews remains a top target for Lamar Jackson in key situations, particularly near the end zone. Against a Buccaneers defense that has shown vulnerability to tight ends, Andrews could find pay dirt once again.
Dart Throw Plays (Various)
Here are a few dart plays to round out your lineup. These are high-risk, high-reward picks best suited for GPPs—not for cash games:
- Cade Otton (TE, TB) $4,600 Flex – Otton didn’t rack up yardage against the Saints, but he salvaged his fantasy day with a touchdown grab. Despite a lower yardage total, his six targets are encouraging, suggesting he remains a red-zone threat for Baker Mayfield heading into the matchup with Baltimore.
- Sean Tucker (RB, TB) $4,000 Flex – Tucker exploded for 192 yards and two scores in the Bucs’ blowout win over the Saints, showing he can capitalize when given chances. With Rachaad White potentially back, Tucker’s workload is uncertain, but his performance could earn him more touches if Tampa Bay rides the “hot hand.”
- Justice Hill (RB, BAL) $3,800 Flex – Hill’s role has diminished recently, logging just one carry and one reception for minimal yardage against the Commanders. With limited opportunities in a crowded backfield, Hill is a risky dart throw, but he could surprise if Baltimore mixes up its offensive game plan in Week 7.
- Sterling Shepard (WR, TB) $3,000 Flex – Shepard played a season-high 75 percent of offensive snaps last week, even with Jalen McMillan back from injury. He managed 54 total yards on seven touches, and his experience could keep him in the mix for targets against a tough Ravens secondary.
- Jalen McMillan (WR, TB) $2,000 Flex – McMillan saw only 18 percent of offensive snaps in his return from a hamstring injury but could see a larger role this week. If he gets more involved in the passing game, he has the speed to deliver a big play, making him a high-risk, high-reward option against Baltimore.
- Charlie Kolar (TE, BAL) $1,600 Flex – Kolar was quiet last week, going without a target despite 22 offensive snaps. With the Ravens often deploying multiple tight-end sets, he could sneak in a few looks if the focus shifts away from Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, making him a true dart throw in deeper formats.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Baltimore @Tampa Bay Kickers and DSTs
Chase McLaughlin ($5,000) was busy with extra points in the Bucs’ 51-27 blowout win over the Saints, hitting all six of his attempts while also converting a 26-yard field goal. He has been perfect on field goals this season, going 11-for-11, which could make him a reliable option if the Buccaneers struggle to find the end zone against a tougher Ravens defense.. Justin Tucker ($5,400) nailed all three of his field-goal attempts and three extra points in the Ravens’ win over the Commanders. The veteran kicker has settled back into form after a rocky start to the season, making five field goals over his last two games. As the Ravens face a potentially higher-scoring matchup in Tampa Bay, Tucker’s leg could be called upon frequently on Monday night.
Ravens DST ($4,400) has excelled at forcing tight window throws, leading the NFL in that metric at 23%. But despite solid coverage, they’ve been giving up 8.1 yards per pass attempt, which ranks among the highest in the league. Monday night against a pass-heavy Buccaneers offense led by Baker Mayfield, the Ravens will look to clamp down and create turnovers to counter their susceptibility to deep shots. If they can turn their tight coverage into a few takeaways, they could offer solid fantasy value.
