Expert DFS Analysis
Daily fantasy expert Mike McClure, a professional with more than $2 million in career winnings, has released his optimal lineups for the single-game slate. McClure's prediction model simulates every snap, accounting for matchups, statistical trends, and injuries.
One of McClure's top picks is Caleb Williams, who has an over/under of 227.5 passing yards. Despite Seattle's stout defense, Williams has been on a roll since returning from a hamstring injury, surpassing 300 passing yards in each of his last two games and completing 83% of his attempts against the Falcons in Week 6.
McClure is also building around Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who commands a 36% target share in Seattle's offense. Smith-Njigba 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.
McClure has identified an additional undervalued player who could deliver a significant return on Monday night. His full lineup recommendations and analysis are available at SportsLine.
