After nearly a decade of T.Y. Hilton being the team's No. 1 receiver, Michael Pittman Jr. has ascended to that role in his second season. Pittman has already set career-highs in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns and will be the top wideout playing for the Colts on Thursday Night Football. Indianapolis hosts the New York Jets, and Pittman could be one of the most coveted NFL DFS picks. He's posted 14 receptions for 191 yards and three TDs over his last two games and now faces the No. 30 scoring defense. Should he be part of your NFL DFS strategy and NFL DFS stacks?
Pittman is one of the most recognizable names in the Colts vs. Jets DFS player pool, but you may need some assistance filling out the rest of your NFL DFS lineups for Thursday Night Football. Can someone like Hilton turn back the clock and put up solid numbers? Before locking in your NFL DFS picks for Jets vs. Colts, 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 Jets vs. ColtsOne of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. He has been nothing short of brilliant over the last five weeks, as he's averaged nearly 135 scrimmage yards. He just racked up 122 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in Week 8 versus the Titans.
Taylor ranks second in the NFL with 649 rushing yards and will be the leader to win the rushing crown with Derrick Henry (foot) injured. The Colts have realized that putting the ball in Taylor's hands gives them their best chance of winning, as they are 3-0 when he rushes for 100 yards, but 0-5 when he fails to reach the century mark. Thus, expect Indy to feed Taylor early and often on Thursday Night Football.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Jets quarterback Mike White, who last week became the second QB in NFL history to throw for 400 yards in his first career start. White was a fifth-round pick in 2018, but didn't make his NFL debut until replacing Wilson last Sunday.
The Colts' defense has been shredded by opposing quarterbacks this year and just allowed Ryan Tannehill to throw for three touchdowns. That marked the sixth time in eight games that Indianapolis allowed the other team's quarterback to toss multiple TD passes.
How to set NFL DFS lineups for Colts vs. JetsMcClure is also targeting an undervalued player who is set to explode for huge numbers on Thursday Night Football. 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 here.
