- Bijan Robinson is McClure's top TNF DFS pick after surpassing 4,000 career rushing yards last week, making him the third-youngest player in NFL history with 4,000 rushing yards and 200 receptions; he ranks fifth this season in touches (48) and scrimmage yards (254).
- Matthew Golden is McClure's other featured build — the Packers rookie has 10 catches for 153 yards in two games and sees more targets with Jayden Reed (back) sidelined, already matching last season's games with 58+ receiving yards.
- The Green Bay Packers host their first home game of 2026 dead last in rushing yards without Josh Jacobs, a profile that points to heavy pass volume against an Atlanta secondary that allowed three different wideouts at least 64 yards last week.
- Atlanta's passing game hinges on Michael Penix Jr.'s return under center, which could elevate Drake London and Kyle Pitts in DFS lineups after the Falcons leaned on the run (Brian Robinson Jr. had 20 carries through two games) amid QB injuries.
- The Packers' run defense has already surrendered three touchdowns to running backs this season, reinforcing Robinson's volume-based DFS case.
- Mike McClure brings a prediction model built on matchups, statistical trends, and injuries; per the article, his track record includes more than $2 million in career DFS winnings and back-to-back top finishes in the DraftKings and FanDuel Millionaire Maker contests.
Why it matters: For Thursday's compressed Week 3 slate, DFS players who fade Robinson leave points on the table — he averages 24 touches and 127 scrimmage yards per game against a Packers defense that has already allowed three rushing TDs. Golden offers a sharper leverage angle: with Reed (back) out and Green Bay dead last in rushing, his target share rises on a team forced to throw, giving McClure's subscribers a tiered plan rather than a chalky home-fade-Robinson construction.
