The last two teams set to face off on Thanksgiving week are the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings.
If you missed out on entering a DFS lineup for the Sunday slate, then don’t miss out on this opportunity to enter a winning fantasy football lineup on DraftKings for this prime-time matchup on Monday Night Football (MNF) in Week 12!
Top MNF DFS Picks on DraftKings for Week 12
DJ Moore, WR, Chicago Bears ($15,600) | Captain
After enduring four games with a rookie quarterback under center, Bears WR DJ Moore was finally reunited with starting QB Justin Fields, and the results immediately put him right back into the WR1 conversation.

His seven receptions for 96 yards and a score on nine targets against the Detroit Lions reminded everyone very quickly of his fantasy capabilities when Fields is back in the lineup.
In his last three full games with Fields under center, Moore has 23 receptions for 457 yards and five TDs. Moore offers a reliable floor with an elite fantasy ceiling for this Monday-night matchup.
Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears ($11,200)
Speaking of elite fantasy upside, Fields’ first game back from injury featured his dynamic rushing capabilities with his first 100-yard rushing performance of the 2023 season.
His season-high 18 carries certainly give fantasy managers fond flashbacks to his great eight-game stretch of the 2022 season, where he rushed for over 60 yards. The Vikings blitz more than any team in the league, which could present a handful of opportunities for Fields to take off running if the blitz doesn’t get home.
Joshua Dobbs, QB, Minnesota Vikings ($10,000)
Fields isn’t the only dynamic dual-threat quarterback taking the field on Monday night, with Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs riding a five-game streak with a rushing score into the prime-time matchup.
Dobbs has thrown and run for a score in all three games wearing a Vikings uniform this season. There is a strong case to be made for Dobbs being the captain of your DraftKings showdown team, but he should be in your lineup without a clear-cut top rushing option in the Minnesota backfield for this game.
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings ($9,000)
Fantasy managers may be eagerly awaiting the return of WR Justin Jefferson to their fantasy lineup, but Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is still a great play for this DFS contest with his continued production with Dobbs under center.

Hockenson exploded for 134 yards and a score on 11 receptions back in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints with Dobbs at quarterback. Considering the Bears give up an average of 11.4 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs this season, Hockenson needs to be in your lineup for MNF.
Brandon Powell, WR, Minnesota Vikings ($2,000)
If Jefferson misses a seventh straight game due to a hamstring injury, then Brandon Powell becomes a viable pay-down option at WR against Chicago. He has caught a minimum of three passes in the last two games and could continue to see over 50% of the offensive snaps if Jefferson can’t return in Week 12.
Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Chicago Bears ($1,600)
Bears WR Equanimeous St. Brown may not be an elite option for this slate, but he did see a season-high two receptions last week with Fields returning to the starting lineup against the Lions on Sunday. His fantasy floor is certainly the lowest of all these options, which makes him an intriguing DFS option because of his low usage by other DFS contestants for this game.
