Now that the 2024 NFL trade deadline is complete, major acquisitions are largely done for the 2024 NFL season. Teams may add from free agency, but after weeks of some of the top players in the NFL DFS player pool changing locations, there should be more stability in NFL rosters. Wide receiver proved to be one of the most active positions on the trade market with players like Davante Adams (Jets), DeAndre Hopkins (Chiefs), Amari Cooper (Bills), Diontae Johnson (Ravens), Jonathan Mingo (Cowboys) and Mike Williams (Steelers) moved.
Adams, Hopkins and Cooper have all displayed their values to their new teams in recent weeks for NFL DFS picks, but can daily Fantasy football players expect Mingo or Williams to factor into a winning NFL DFS strategy the week they were traded? Before locking in any NFL DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Sunday, 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 more than $2 million in career winnings. 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. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. Last year, he won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Week 10 NFL schedule on Sunday and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday is 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel ($6,900 on DraftKings, $8,300 on FanDuel). Samuel had four receptions for 71 yards while playing 64% of snaps in a 30-24 victory over the Cowboys in Week 8 despite being hospitalized for pneumonia earlier in the week. Samuel had an additional week to rest and recover with San Francisco coming off the bye and McClure expects that time off to serve Samuel well.
The 49ers may also be getting Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) back this week. One reaction could be that means a less usage for Samuel, it could actually give the 28-year-old more opportunity to make plays in space with the defense needing to focus on the No. 1 scoring running back in Fantasy football last season. Samuel averaged more receiving yards (59.5) and rushing yards (15.0) last season with McCaffrey healthy than he’s averaged this year without him, so the McCaffrey return should be welcomed by the entire 49ers offense.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Vikings running back Aaron Jones ($6,700 on DraftKings and $7,900 on FanDuel). The 29-year-old rushed for 64 yards and added four receptions for 18 yards last week against the Colts. Jones had 21 carries last week and he’s seen the vast majority of snaps this season, playing at least 72% of snaps in each of the last three weeks, including 92% of plays in Week 8.
He’s been a focal point in the surprisingly efficient Vikings offense this season with more than 90 rushing yards in four of eight games this year. Not many football fans expected the Vikings to be in the postseason mix but their No. 8 scoring offense (26.1 points per game) has been a key reason for their success. Jones has rushed for more than 90 yards in four of eight games this season entering a matchup against the Jaguars, who are surrendering the third-most Fantasy football points to opposing running backs this year.

McClure is also targeting another undervalued player who could explode for huge numbers on Sunday. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is, and the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS picks, at SportsLine.
