- SportsLine DFS expert Mike McClure, with over $2 million in career winnings, locked in his top picks for the 49ers vs. Commanders Week 6 Monday Night Football matchup at 8:15 p.m. ET using a prediction model that simulates every snap and has finished tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once.
- Christian McCaffrey leads McClure's DFS recommendations, averaging 16 touches per game with at least 14 in every contest and five rushing touchdowns over the past four weeks; the 49ers are 7.5-point favorites and could lean on the run game to drain the clock late.
- Chig Okonkwo, the Commanders' free-agent tight end who returned from a two-game absence after a Week 1 injury, posted four catches for 60 yards against the Giants last week and is positioned as a lower-priced TE1 with Washington potentially playing from behind and dealing with skill-position injuries.
- The 49ers-Commanders game total sits at 52 points, with Washington led by Jayden Daniels and Brock Purdy under center for San Francisco, whose defense ranks fourth in the NFL in total yardage and scoring.
- McClure's remaining DFS picks — including one described as a potentially tournament-deciding 'undervalued player' — are gated behind a SportsLine subscription, leaving McCaffrey and Okonkwo as the only two recommendations disclosed in the article.
Why it matters: McCaffrey's workload — at least 14 touches every game with five rushing touchdowns in the past four weeks — combined with the 49ers' 7.5-point favorite status and potential late-game clock running, anchors McClure's DFS recommendations for the Week 6 MNF slate. Okonkwo offers a lower-priced TE1 option coming off a 60-yard Week 5 performance, though the rest of McClure's optimal lineup remains behind SportsLine's subscription paywall.
