NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Giants vs. Patriots Monday Night Showdown

Jaxson Dart - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookie QB Sleepers

Koby's top NFL DFS lineup picks for DraftKings, FanDuel -- Giants vs. Patriots MNF slate for Week 13 Monday Night Football (Dec. 1, 2025). His NFL daily fantasy sleeper picks.

Happy Monday, RotoBallers! What a game Sunday Night Football was last night. That was one of the best prime-time games we have had all season long. I did not expect the Commanders to have it this close, although they came up short. It made for one hell of a game. Hopefully, we can get another banger here as the Patriots come into this one as touchdown favorites.

Tonight, we have a solid Monday Night Football matchup as the New York Giants (2-10) travel to Foxborough to take on the red-hot New England Patriots (10-2). These teams are at the opposite end of the spectrum, but on the bright side, the Giants do get Jaxson Dart (concussion) back. The Patriots have won nine straight and look to retake the top spot in the AFC with a win here tonight.

In this article, I will share my Week 13 MNF daily fantasy football lineup picks for the Giants vs. Patriots on December 1, 2025. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings.

MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jaxson Dart - QB, NYG ($15K DK/$18.6K FD)

I'm so glad to see Jaxson Dart back in the lineup. Jameis Winston is a fantasy monster, but Dart brings another level to the game when using his legs to make things happen. In seven starts this season, he is averaging 7.8 carries a game. He also has at least one rushing touchdown in every start except for one this season! The Patriots make for a tough matchup, but they also haven't faced many mobile QBs this season.

Both Justin Fields and Josh Allen had great rushing games against them.

The Patriots have one of the best rush defenses in the league this season. That being said, I don't see them being able to use Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary very much. Dart is going to need to throw the ball a lot here. He has thrown 190+ yards in all but his first start of the season. With 19+ fantasy points in all but one start this season, Dart will be a crucial add to lineups even at the high salary price.

TreVeyon Henderson - RB, NE ($12K DK/$17.7K FD)

Rhamondre Stevenson returned last week for the Patriots, and fortunately, it didn't impact TreVeyon Henderson's production. Last week, he carried the ball 18 times compared to Stevenson's six. He is stepping into another great spot against an indigent run defense. The Giants are giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season; that includes the fifth-most rushing TDs, fourth-most receiving TDs, and second-most rushing yards allowed.

In his last four starts as the lead back for the Patriots, he has five total touchdowns, 330 yards rushing, and 81 receiving yards on 13 receptions. He is active throughout the offense and should have a sizable role. If this game starts to get out of hand, I expect the Patriots to lean on Henderson heavily to run the clock down. This could end up being another big game for the rookie back.

Other Captains: Drake Maye

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Wan'Dale Robinson - WR, NYG ($9K DK/$10.6K FD)

Wan'Dale Robinson is coming off his best game of the season; he was targeted 14 times, catching nine of them for 156 yards and a touchdown. This was with Winston, but we have seen multiple games this season in which Robinson was heavily targeted with Dart at the helm. He has three games of double-digit targets this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it a fourth here.

The Giants are likely playing from behind here, and the Patriots have been a bit prone to giving up touchdowns to WRs this season -- the fourth most in the league at that. Robinson has a 14% red-zone target share this season, which should provide him with ample high-quality targets. He should find himself in the best matchup, with him playing in the slot 65% of the time.

He likely lines up against Marcus Jones in the slot, who gives up .29 fantasy points per route run this season.

Mack Hollins - WR, NE ($6.2K DK/$8.6K FD)

I was a little bit concerned with Stefon Diggs' lack of playing time in last week's win over the Bengals. He only played in 48% of snaps, which is concerning for the WR1 on the team. Mack Hollins is a better play on DraftKings; he is much more affordable over there, as FD has priced him quite a bit. Hollins is going on his third straight game of playing 79% or more snaps.

While his targets haven't been high, he has seen 21 targets in the last three games. Hollins is pure deep threat, and if we get a big catch downfield, that is going to be huge for his fantasy points.

This season, he has the third-highest red-zone target% at 11.4%. Maybe last week was a one-off for Diggs, but if, for some reason, this keeps up, I do like taking a shot on Hollins to lead all wideouts in targets for the second straight game.

Other Flex Options: Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots Defense

 

Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Theo Johnson - TE, NYG ($5.8K DK/$5.8K FD)

Theo Johnson was an early favorite target for Dart. He racked up five touchdowns in his first six games playing with Dart, and I wouldn't be surprised if they started right where they left off. The Patriots make for a tough team to target TEs in the red zone. Outside of the red zone, though, they give up the seventh-most receiving yards to TEs this season.

With Dart starting, Johnson is averaging just under six targets a game. Like I've mentioned before, the Giants are going to be throwing the ball a lot, and having a solid TE like Johnson to bail Dart out across the middle of the field will be huge. Look for Johnson to continue being a focal point in the offense as Dart rejoins the lineup.

Isaiah Hodgins - WR, NYG ($3.6K DK/$4K FD)

I'm keeping it here with the Giants, as the Patriots WR corps is a little more risky than the Giants have been. Hodgins has quickly worked his way into the lineup, immediately finding himself in the WR3 role since joining the team from the practice squad. We don't have any data of him working with Dart this season, as both games Hodgins has played were with Winston. That didn't stop him from seeing six targets in both games.

For $4K on FD, he is worth a shot and has solid upside, scoring 8.2 and 11.2 in his first two games. He saw some early targets in the red zone as well. Jalin Hyatt didn't see a single snap, as they opted to keep going with Hodgins, who has logged 66% of snaps or more in both games so far. If that keeps up, I think the value is there for Hodgins to have a good game.

Other Value Options: Darius Slayton, Kayshon Boutte, Younghoe Koo
