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 enter as 3.5-point favorites with an over/under of 46.5 points.
This game features a strength-versus-strength clash: Seattle leads the NFL in total defense, while Chicago ranks third in total offense. Notable players for daily fantasy lineups include quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Sam Darnold, receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, tight end Colston Loveland, and running back D'Andre Swift. Seattle running back Jadarian Price has been activated from injured reserve ahead of the game.
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. His past successes include tying for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and winning the FanDuel Million once.
One of McClure's top picks is Chicago quarterback 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 two games since returning from a hamstring injury, including an 83% completion rate against the Falcons in Week 6.
McClure is also building around Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who commands a target share around 36% and leads the NFL with 867 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns. 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 production makes him a must-roster regardless of matchup.
