This weekend is dedicated to being thankful, and stuffing ourselves with stuffing. And turkey. And potatoes. All the things.

But while you’re at it, set some DFS lineups. It’s not quite the same thing as going for a quick jog to work off some of that dinner, but it will give you something to cheer about as the holidays get rolling.

Here are my optimal DFS lineups for all the games this weekend:

Thanksgiving FanDuel lineup

Two of the three Thanksgiving Day games have a positive over/under per Vegas. Only four of the remaining games have a 47 or higher over/under. So, if you were ever going to play on a Thursday, this is your day.

QB: Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins ($7,400)

Cousins has thrown eight touchdowns to one interception over the last four games. He’ll have to continue with that ratio to keep up with the red-hot Dallas offense.
