Whether it was a happy Thanksgiving depends on who you ask. The Seahawks had their doors blown off by the division-rival 49ers, while the Cowboys did the opposite to their division-rival Commanders. Now, with a full week of rest, the Seahawks fly into Dallas hoping to avenge that crushing loss last week. The Cowboys have other ideas, hoping they could soon be playing for the lead in the NFC East if things break right for them in Week 13.
Could the Cowboys be looking ahead and find themselves in a letdown spot against the Seahawks, or will they continue to steamroll whatever team stands in their way en route to a must-see matchup against the Eagles in Week 14? Your answer to those questions will tell you a lot about this game, and that conviction one way or another can help you win plenty of money by playing a single-game DFS lineup on FanDuel.
Before we break down our picks and strategy, here are the most notable scoring rules for FanDuel contests: four-point passing TDs and half-point PPR.

Seahawks-Cowboys FanDuel Picks Week 13: NFL DFS lineup for GPP tournaments
$60,000 budget, at least one player from each team required
MVP (1.5x points) QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys ($17,500). At a position plagued by injuries this season, Prescott continues to be one of the best options available. He's not Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen, but the Cowboys' quarterback is slinging the ball all over the field with ease. With a 23-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Dallas is rolling on offense without the fear of turnovers. Prescott is in consideration for the MVP, and it seems like Mike McCarthy is trying to make sure he's the eventual winner of the award. He needs to be in your lineup, and we'll gladly accept 1.5x points for the investment.
FLEX WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys ($16,000). Prescott-to-Lamb. The duo has hooked up for touchdowns in three straight and in five of the past five games. The yardage has dipped significantly from the near record-breaking pace, but Lamb remains a fixture in this Dallas offense. As long he's healthy, he's worth using for one of the best stacks the fantasy football world has to offer.
FLEX WR Tyler Lockett, Seahawks ($11,000). In what is likely to be a negative game script, Geno Smith will be turning to the air early and often in the hopes that Lockett will be waiting there with open arms to receive the ball. Lockett profiles as the best of the Seattle pass-catchers based on a few things, mainly that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is an unproven rookie and DK Metcalf is averaging what feels like three tantrums per game. Metcalf has the squeaky wheel thing going for him, but Lockett's reliability results in a more comfortable selection against this stout Cowboys' defense. He has a solid floor and a high-enough ceiling to potentially be the guy that paces the offense in fantasy points.
FLEX K Jason Myers, Seahawks ($8,500). Myers' leg has been put to work quite a bit over the past three weeks. He's attempted 12 field goals and converted 10, including two 50-yarders over the past two weeks. If Seattle can move the ball effectively, Dallas' defense is one that can hunker down in the red zone and force field-goal attempts. Rather than target the struggling offense, we'll get some exposure on the special teams in what will be ideal conditions under the roof in Dallas.
FLEX WR Jalen Tolbert, Cowboys ($7,000). Our dart throw comes in the form of Tolbert, who carries a salary on FanDuel of $500 less than Michael Gallup -- the guy he's been quietly replacing over the second half of the season. Gallup played a season-low 18 snaps on Thanksgiving while Tolbert checked in with 37. The receiver has shown an ability to make explosive plays, and with the way Prescott is spreading the wealth on offense, Tolbert is an attractive DFS option.
Best SuperDraft NFL DFS Picks for Seahawks-Cowboys
This year, we're also listing our favorite weekly DFS plays on SuperDraft.
For those unfamiliar, SuperDraft's DFS scoring involves point multipliers as opposed to traditional salary-capped or tiered contests. A winning lineup will likely feature a strong mix of stud fantasy contributors with 1x-1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is assigned a scoring multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft. Users can roster any player in their lineup with no restrictions.

MORE SUPERDRAFT DFS: How to play SuperDraft
- Champion (+50% points): QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys (Multiplier 1.6x)
- Super FLEX: RB Tony Pollard, Cowboys (Multiplier 1.15x)
- Super FLEX: WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys (Multiplier 1x)
- Super FLEX: RB Zach Charbonnet, Seahawks (Multiplier 1.55x)
- Super FLEX: K Jason Myers, Seahawks (Multiplier 1.8x)
Our SuperDraft lineup follows the logic that we used in both the FanDuel and DraftKings versions. Prescott must be included in all lineups, and we like stacking him with Pollard and Lamb as the top two options in the Dallas offense. On the Seattle side, our preference remains one offensive player -- in this case, Charbonnet -- and Myers on special teams based on the game script that we feel especially confident is destined to unfold.
