Editor’s Note: RotoBaller is proud to be partnering with FantasyScore, our new and exclusive DFS partner. As a subsidiary of the USA TODAY Sports Media Group, FantasyScore has come to the daily league fantasy sports table with possibly the most exciting promotional offer in the DFS industry (along with a top notch product that is powered by one of the biggest media sites in the world).
For RotoBaller readers, FantasyScore is offering an instant 50% deposit bonus up to $250. No other DFS site offers an instant match bonus like this!
Other sites claim to provide users with matching dollars on their initial deposits. What they forget to mention is this is not an instant match, and you have to earn those “matched dollars” slowly over time, penny by penny. This can be misleading, and discouraging to new depositors.
FantasyScore does not do this. They really, truly match your deposit, instantly. When you make your first deposit, you immediately get half of that amount, and you can immediately use it to play. No waiting, no earning it slowly, no gimmicks – just a really good offer, that no other DFS is matching.

Expert Player Picks For The Turkey Bowl
(QB) Tony Romo - $7100 - There's a 6-pack of NFL teams slated to pick our Turkey Bowl lineups from. Our main man today is America's quarterback Anthony Romo, who is playing at home against the NFL's worst defense against fantasy quarterbacks. The Philadelphia Eagles and their horror show secondary hemorrhage a healthy 21 fantasy points per contest to the opposition. Lastly, the good folks in Las Vegas predict this contest to have the highest projected scoring total of the day, so we want as much action as humanly possible.
(WR) Jordan Matthews - $6,000 - The true WR1's of the day are Megatron and Dez Bryant, but we are here to help you find some undervalued studs. Leading that category for Thanksgiving Day action is Eagles rookie Jordan Matthews. Since Mark Sanchez took the reigns in Philadelphia, he's averaged over 8 targets per game and a whopping 22.73 fantasy points. You'll need a value play or two for any winning DFS lineup, so we suggest you get Mathews into your FantasyScore mix if you plan to be crowned the Turkey Bowl Champion.
(WR) Anquan Boldin - $4,700 - Once again we have ourselves a severely undervalued DFS asset for thursday's Turkey Bowl Championship. FantasyScore has him priced as cheap as a WR3-WR4, but in reality this tough veteran has been pretty consistent all year averaging 15.59 fantasy points per contest. That's more than a point more per game than Bears WR1 Brandon Marshall who is priced at a hefty $6,900. We suggest you save a few gold coins on Turkey Day and invest some faith into this Arizona's Cardinals former star wide receiver.
(RB) LeSean McCoy - $6,900 - We all saw Shady get down and round back into RB1 form last week versus the Titans worst ranked run defense. Well in Week 13, LeSean McCoy and the Eagles have a prime divisional matchup in Dallas and we believe there will be some shakin' and bakin' going on again with this undervalued superstar. The Cowboys rank middle of the road, allowing an average of 18.15 fantasy points to opposing running backs, and grade out slightly below average in run defense based on the ratings of Pro Football Focus. We believe that the real Shady McCoy is back and will likely light the turf on fire for the Turkey Bowl festivities, so don't hesitate in making him your RB1 on Thursday.
(RB) Theo Riddick - $4,700 - You'll have to keep tabs on Reggie Bush's gametime status, but it seems like Riddick might once again be a viable PPR league budget buster come Thursday. Bush was limited in practice again on Wednesday and is a candidate to play, but Riddick may end up being the main compliment to plodding specialist Joique Bell. That being said, the Bears have a very porous defense that's especially prone to allowing points to fantasy wide receivers (23.81 per game), so this is a great opportunity to get this deep sleeper into your lineups and hopefully emerge the crowned king.
(TE) Martellus Bennett - $5,500 - There is no TE1 that stands out for our Thursday lineup, but the 6'6" matchup nightmare for the Detroit Lions defense is going to be on full display Thursday afternoon. The Lions are allowing an average of 8.42 fantasy points to opposing tight ends and the "Black Unicorn" is averaging 7.45 targets and 13.80 fantasy points per game, making this former Cowboys and Giants TE one of the top options in the league. Don't flinch about using him in FantasyScore's Turkey Bowl Championship if he fits your salary cap needs.
