Ahead of Monday night's bout between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, here are three players at different salary ranges who I believe will perform well in the DraftKings Showdown. 

Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($9,600)

Evans faces a Cowboys defense that has allowed 10 touchdowns to wide receivers lined up on the outside over the second half of the season — tied for the most over that span.

• They have also tied for the second-most receiving yards allowed at 1,145.
• Drake London and D.J. Moore both gained over 115 receiving yards against Dallas over the last two weeks.
• Seven of the last nine teams to face Dallas' defense have had their receivers gain at least 150 receiving yards.
• Trevon Diggs has allowed over 80% of passes thrown his way to be caught since Week 12.
• The Cowboys defense has been above average against wide receivers in the slot throughout the season, which isn’t great news for fellow great wide receiver Chris Godwin.
• The Buccaneers are underdogs in this game, and Tampa Bay throws 75% of the time when playing from behind — the highest rate in the league this season.
