Top NFL DFS picks for the 2022 Hall of Fame Game
One of Gibbs’ top NFL DFS picks for the 2022 NFL Hall of Fame Game, where every player on DraftKings is priced at $11,400 and every player on FanDuel is $12,000, is Jaguars quarterback Jake Luton. The Jags won’t want to put franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence in harm’s way. Veteran backup C.J. Beathard, meanwhile, is coming off a groin injury over the summer.
That leaves Luton, the team’s sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, as the most likely candidate to lead the offense for a majority of this matchup. Luton appeared in three regular-season games in 2020, throwing for 624 yards and a pair of touchdowns, so he has more game experience than many third-string options. Against a Las Vegas squad that ranked near the bottom of the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed last season, Luton has a chance to move the ball and provide valuable points for NFL DFS lineups.
Part of Gibbs’ optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes stacking Luton with Jags running back Snoop Conner. The fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss had a nose for the end zone in 2021. He scored 13 touchdowns on just 130 carries during his junior campaign. For his career, he scored 26 times over his three years in Oxford.
With Travis Etienne (foot) and James Robinson (Achilles) both coming off major injuries, Conner should see work in the backfield. The run game is often ahead of the passing game this early in training camp, so adding a talented young back like him is an excellent choice for NFL DFS strategy on Thursday.
