The Week 8 NFL schedule concludes with a matchup of NFC contenders as the Seattle Seahawks host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Seahawks are 3.5-point favorites with an over/under of 46.5 points.
It is a strength-versus-strength matchup: Seattle leads the NFL in total defense, while Chicago ranks third in total offense. Notable players for daily fantasy lineups include Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Bears tight end Colston Loveland, and Bears running back D'Andre Swift. Seattle running back Jadarian Price has been activated from injured reserve ahead of the game.
SportsLine daily fantasy expert Mike McClure, a professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings, has released his top picks for the single-game slate. McClure's prediction model simulates every snap, accounting for matchups, statistical trends, and injuries. He has finished tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once.
One of McClure's top picks is Caleb Williams, who has an over/under of 227.5 passing yards. Despite Seattle's tenacious defense, Williams has thrown for over 300 yards in each of his last two games since returning from a hamstring injury, including an 83% completion rate against the Falcons in Week 6.
McClure is also building around Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who commands a 36% target share 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 rank 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, but Smith-Njigba's production makes him a must-roster regardless of matchup.
McClure has identified an additional undervalued player who could deliver huge numbers on Monday night. His full optimal lineups, rankings, and stacks are available exclusively at SportsLine.
