NFL DFS, Cardinals vs. Packers: FanDuel, DraftKings daily Fantasy football picks for Thursday Night Football

Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers have been one of the most dynamic duos in the NFL, but the former will have to make due without his No. 1 receiver in a critical Week 8 showdown on Thursday Night Football. The Packers placed Adams on the reserve/COVID-19 list after a positive test, which means the NFL DFS player pool for Cardinals vs. Packers no longer includes the star receiver. Adams has 52 receptions this season, while no other Packers wide receiver has more than 15. Who can you trust in your NFL DFS stacks and NFL DFS lineups?

Fellow Packers receiver Allen Lazard joins Adams on the COVID list, so which secondary receiver should be part of your NFL DFS strategy for Thursday Night Football? Before locking in your NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with almost $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 last season.

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 Thursday Night Football and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Packers vs. Cardinals

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. The third-year QB has accumulated the third-most fantasy points at the position this year and is coming off a three-touchdown game in Week 7. He's on pace to pass for 41 touchdowns this season after tossing 26 all of last year.

Apart from his arm, what makes Murray so dynamic is what he can do with his legs. He has 126 rushing yards and three TDs on the ground. Green Bay has been shredded by QBs running against it all year and just gave up 95 rushing yards to Taylor Heinicke. It also allowed over 80 rushing yards combined to pocket QBs Jameis Winston and Jared Goff. With his dual-threat ability against a Packers team likely missing its defensive coordinator (COVID-19), Murray is a must-start for Thursday Night Football.

Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Packers running back Aaron Jones, who is averaging over 84 scrimmage yards per game to go along with six touchdowns. You might be inclined to try to figure out which Packers receiver will see the majority of the target volume with Adams and Lazard out, but Jones is actually the No. 2 receiver in Green Bay and the next most dynamic offensive player on the team.

Jones has 26 receptions for 186 yards and four scores, and it wouldn't be entirely surprising to see the Packers move him around to get A.J. Dillon on the field to supplement the lack of playmakers in the offense. Meanwhile, Jones has also carried the ball 89 times for 404 yards and two scores and could be a strong bet to get a large number of touches on Thursday.
