- Mike McClure is a DFS expert with more than $2 million in career winnings, having finished tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once using a simulation model
- Isaiah Likely (TE, Giants) is among McClure's top Week 3 DFS picks at $5,600 on DraftKings and $4,700 on FanDuel, with 13 receptions for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns through two weeks after leaving Baltimore
- Kenneth Walker III (RB, Chiefs) is another top pick at $7,400 on DraftKings and $8,300 on FanDuel, ranking 2nd in the NFL in carries (47) and rushing yards (290) plus 9 catches for 79 yards and a score
- Week 3 Sunday main slate features 13 games, though scoring has dipped from nearly 50 points per game in Week 1 to closer to 40 in Week 2
- Key injuries: Jaxson Dart (knee) and Jayden Daniels (elbow) ruled out, while Sam Darnold (glute) cleared to play
- The Chiefs are favored by double digits against the Dolphins, who have allowed the second-most Fantasy points to opposing running backs this season
Why it matters: For DraftKings and FanDuel DFS players, McClure's model-driven picks target two specific value spots: Likely's price drop following Dart's injury and Walker's heavy workload against a Dolphins defense surrendering the second-most Fantasy points to running backs. With scoring trending down from Week 1's ~50 PPG to Week 2's ~40 PPG, identifying underpriced players on a 13-game slate becomes more decisive for cash games and tournaments.
