The Dallas Cowboys roll into Sin City as 3-point favorites on Monday Night Football, though neither team has played well enough to inspire real confidence.
Desperate for offensive life, the Las Vegas Raiders may have to feature their newest wideout, who could suddenly emerge as their WR1.
In a game short on quality but long on chaos potential, Tyler Lockett's debut in a featured role might be the wildcard that helps turn profits for the night.

Cowboys vs Raiders prediction
Cowboys vs Raiders Best bet: Tyler Lockett Over 27.5 receiving yards (-110)
Las Vegas Raiders wideout Tyler Lockett could be Geno Smith's main target Monday versus a Dallas Cowboys defense that allows the most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers, with 170 yards and 1.7 touchdowns allowed — both of which pace the league.
Lockett has a lot of trust in Smith from their Seattle days, and Tre Tucker is not a heavy-volume wide receiver.
In his first game last week with the Silver and Black, Lockett played just 59% of the snaps and led the team in targets (six), receptions (five), and yards (44). Those numbers could be improved on Monday night indoors versus this defense, and the ladder potential is real here.
Six catches are paying +950, and 60 yards is listed at +525. Lockett’s anytime touchdown is +500 and also worth a look in a game that could make Smith look like Drake Maye.

Even THE BLITZ loves Lockett's Overs this week, with the model projecting 45.63 yards on 4.05 receptions. It's all or nothing on Lockett Monday night.

Our big-ticket SGP: Picken' Locks
I'm all in on Lockett, and I'm ready to get hurt again with George Pickens, who has maintained a massive role even with CeeDee Lamb back in the picture.
He has 17 catches and 239 yards over the three games as the WR2 and should have another good outing indoors vs. the Raiders.
Pickens isn't averaging 10 targets a game like Lamb since Week 7, but he has 24 and should see six to nine targets on Monday night.
