Caesars Sportsbook pegs Justin Herbert as a +700 co-favorite to lead the NFL in passing yards alongside Tom Brady. Herbert was runner-up last year in that stat, and his quest to finish one spot better starts in Week 1 versus the Raiders. A number of wideouts who could be popular NFL DFS picks will take the field in that game like Davante Adams, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. Which of those receivers would make the best addition to your NFL daily fantasy football lineups? The scoring format of the NFL DFS site you use and the NFL DFS matchups could give one player the edge over another when they have similar numbers. Before setting your NFL DFS lineups for Week 1 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with over $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1 percent in more than a dozen other tournaments.
He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to Week 1 and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Week 1
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Week 1 is Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey ($8,500 on DraftKings and $9,500 on FanDuel). McCaffrey has played just 10 games over the last two seasons, but he was no less productive in those games compared to his 2019 All-Pro season. He averaged 115.9 total yards with four total touchdowns across those 10 contests.
While there’s justifiable concern about McCaffrey holding up over a full season, there’s not the same level of worry for a single game. Week 1 is as healthy as McCaffrey will be all season and it has shown throughout his career. Across five career Week 1 games, McCaffrey has averaged 84 rushing yards, 58.2 receiving yards and scored four total TDs.
