Mike McClure's Top NFL DFS Picks and Lineups for Week 1 Sunday on DraftKings, FanDuel

The first full main slate arrives for NFL DFS players on Sunday as a dozen Week 1 games will kick off between 1 p.m. ET and 4:25 p.m. ET. Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Bijan Robinson, Josh Allen and Jahmyr Gibbs are just some of the big names in the NFL DFS player pool. Anchoring NFL DFS lineups with a couple big names like those is generally a good plan, but the salary cap structure makes is so that you'll need to find some daily Fantasy sleepers as well.

That might mean picking some lesser-known players from the projected high-scoring matchups, or it could mean rolling the dice with some players in a projected lower-scoring game like Titans vs. Jets or Browns vs. Jaguars. Before making Week 1 NFL DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure .

Top NFL DFS picks for Week 1, Sunday

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for the Week 1 main slate on Sunday is Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase at $7,800 on DraftKings and $8,000 on FanDuel. Chase is coming off another 1,400-yard campaign and he remains arguably the top receiver in the game. His Week 1 matchup is particularly juicy as the Bengals take on the Bucs in the Sunday game with the highest over/under on the board at 50.5 points. See who else to roster at SportsLine .

Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes a receiver on the other side of that matchup: Emeka Egbuka of the Bucs, who is $6,200 on DraftKings and $6,400 on FanDuel. Mike Evans is now with the Niners and Chris Godwin is coming off back-to-back injury-plagued campaigns. That leaves Egbuka as the top target for Baker Mayfield as he looks to build on a big rookie campaign where he caught 63 passes for 938 yards and six touchdowns.  See who else to roster at SportsLine .
