Expert DFS Picks
Daily fantasy expert Mike McClure, a professional with more than $2 million in career winnings, has identified his top picks for the single-game slate. McClure's projection model simulates every snap, accounting for matchups, statistical trends, and injuries.
One of McClure's top selections is Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams, who carries an over/under of 227.5 passing yards. Despite Seattle's tenacious defense, Williams has been on a roll since returning from a hamstring injury, surpassing 300 passing yards in each of his last two games. He completed 83% of his attempts against the Falcons in Week 6.
McClure is also building around Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who commands a target share around 36% in the Seahawks' offense. Smith-Njigba leads the NFL in receiving yards (867) and receiving touchdowns (8). His over/under for receiving yards is set at 99.5, the highest among all pass catchers in this matchup. The Bears surrender the 16th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, but Smith-Njigba's caliber makes him a must-roster regardless of matchup or cost.
McClure has additionally targeted an undervalued player who could produce significant numbers on Monday night, a pick that could determine success in tournaments and cash games.
