Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris has a touchdown in his last five games. That's a big reason why he is one of the most expensive NFL DFS picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for Week 10. It also helps that he faces a winless Lions squad that's allowed the second-most Fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. Not just looking at stars, but also players facing poor defenses should be part of every daily Fantasy owner's NFL DFS strategy.
Thus, under-the-radar players like Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris of the Saints could be worth rostering this week. They are facing a Titans team that allows the most Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and have given up productive games to players like Cole Beasley and Freddie Swain. It would help to be aware of other NFL DFS matchups to exploit when setting your NFL DFS lineups. Before locking in any NFL DFS picks for Week 10, 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 Week 10 and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Week 10One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Week 10 is Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson ($4,700 on DraftKings and $5,400 on FanDuel). It's already been a tough season for the Browns' running back room, with Nick Chubb missing multiple games with a calf injury and Kareem Hunt on IR with a knee injury. Now, Chubb and Demetric Felton have both tested positive for COVID-19 and are out for Sunday.
Johnson rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown as the starter against the Broncos in Week 7 when Chubb was out, so we know that he can produce if given the opportunity.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth ($3,900 DraftKings, $5,100 FanDuel), who has scored three touchdowns over the last two weeks. The rookie second-round pick has also posted his three best games in terms of receiving yards over the last three weeks.
The Steelers have clearly made an effort to make Freiermuth a bigger part of the offense, which has coincided with them getting back to their winning ways. Through the first five games, Freiermuth had just 11 catches for 100 yards. But over the last three games, he's posted a 16-145-3 stat line and now gets to face a Lions defense that ranks 31st in points allowed. Detroit also gave up over 80 receiving yards to tight ends in its last game, so Freiermuth is poised to continue his solid production.
