- Mike McClure locked in his top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football's Week 3 opener between the Falcons and Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET, Green Bay's first home game of the year
- Bijan Robinson is McClure's top Falcons pick after becoming the third-youngest player in NFL history to surpass 4,000 rushing yards and 200 receptions; he ranks fifth this season in touches (48) and scrimmage yards (254)
- Matthew Golden is another key McClure pick with 10 catches for 153 yards so far, positioned for more targets with Jayden Reed sidelined by a back injury and matching his 2024 season total of 58-yard games in just two contests
- The Green Bay Packers rank dead last in rushing yards without Josh Jacobs, signaling a heavily pass-oriented approach against Atlanta on Thursday
- The Atlanta Falcons allowed three different wideouts to post at least 64 yards last week, boosting Golden's value as an economical DFS option
- Michael Penix Jr.'s potential return under center for Atlanta could open up the Falcons DFS player pool beyond Robinson
Why it matters: DFS players building Thursday lineups need to weigh Green Bay's last-ranked rushing attack against an Atlanta secondary that let three different receivers hit 64 yards last week. Robinson's milestone run and Golden's expanded role with Reed sidelined make both players the core building blocks for McClure's optimal lineups.
