There could easily be 60 points in this game, and I’m getting a starting running back at +145? I’d play Trey Knight down to even money, especially with Michael Carter only on the practice squad. The Cardinals are coming off a bye with just Knight and Emari Demercado on the roster, and Demercado is still dealing with an ankle issue. The Cowboys might have the worst defense in football right now, making this a great price on a back who’s found the end zone in two of his last three games.
Pickens may be QB2 on the depth chart but he's more of a WR1-A. He had another strong effort in the loss to Denver, putting up seven catches on nine targets for 78 yards against one of the best secondaries in the league. Arizona isn't that. The Cardinals are allowing 235 yards through the air per game and hit the road to take on a pass-happy Cowboys attack. Dak Prescott sees his stats spike at home and Pickens has loved playing indoors, with his career splits seeing a rise inside. Player projections range from 67 to 83 yards receiving from Pickens and with this total among the tallest on the board in Week 9, we could be in for a shootout on Monday night.
