Some Thanksgiving traditions revolve around food, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or the afternoon nap, but for me, you know it’s just a bonus day for NFL football! We have three games today, beginning with a 12:30 PM ET appetizer featuring the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, a main course at 4:30 PM ET with the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders, and a dessert course to finish up with the Seattle Seahawks visiting the San Francisco 49ers at 8:20 PM ET. 

Along with the food and football, we’ve also got something extra cooking up, and if you’re new around here, let me tell you about it! We’ve joined forces with our friends at Sleeper to introduce their Sleeper Picks feature. With Sleeper Picks, you can choose from a variety of players and stat lines, choose whether that player will have more or less than the given stat, and combine your picks for a chance to increase your payout. If you build enough, you can even multiply your entry up to 100x! Let's look at some of the juicy, delicious options available for today!

Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions

At this point in the season, this almost feels like a free square. Gibbs has hit this mark in each of his last four games, averaging 47.25 per contest since returning from injury. He also has a very favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers, whose defense is allowing over five receptions and 31 receiving yards per game to running backs. Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is also questionable, and if he’s out, it opens up the outside that much more. While some thought that the usage may decline with David Montgomery back in the lineup, the Lions have clearly found what works with Gibbs and have a plan for him going forward. In a divisional matchup on Thanksgiving (where they haven’t won since 2016), expect Detroit to make a statement.

Pick: Jahmyr Gibbs more than 27.5 receiving yards (1.76x)

Demarcus Lawrence, Dallas Cowboys

While Lawrence doesn’t have a high sack total on the season, he’s had two in as many weeks, and this matchup against the Washington Commanders is as positive as they come. Sam Howell may be doing favors for fantasy managers, but he is not able to avoid sacks in real life, already being taken down 51 times through 11 games. The Dallas defense has come together lately, logging ten sacks in two weeks, so they should be able to get to Howell early and often. With so many to go around, we won’t be the only ones eating today. 

Pick: Demarcus Lawrence more than .5 sacks (1.84x)

Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

This is a special stat that could change as the day goes on, so make sure you make your picks early enough to take advantage of it. Right now, Brock Purdy’s passing yardage stat is set at 189.5 passing yards, down from 252.5, and that, my friends, is better than any Black Friday deal you’ll find on the shelves. Purdy is averaging over 254 passing yards per game on the year, and now that he has all his weapons back, that number should steadily increase. The Seahawks rank 25th in pass DVOA this season, and with a good cornerback matchup for both Brandon Aiyuk, don’t expect Purdy to take his foot off the gas.

Pick: Brock Purdy more than 189.5 pass yards (1.77x)
