- CeeDee Lamb is one of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Cowboys-Packers SNF after posting a career-high 17 catches for 189 yards and a score the prior week, then just 9 receiving yards last week on a quad injury; he's practiced in full this week and has averaged 16 catches for 130 yards and 1 TD across two career games against Green Bay.
- Christian Watson is another headliner, having scored 13 touchdowns over his last 13 games while averaging 94.8 receiving yards per game (9th in NFL) — double his 47.2-yard pre-2026 average; he posted 107 yards and a career-high 3 TDs against Dallas in 2022.
- Both the Cowboys and Packers rank among the NFL's bottom three in rushing, and each fields a bottom-10 run defense, making passing-game stacks (Dak Prescott with CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens; Jordan Love with Matthew Golden and Christian Watson) appealing alongside value backs like Javonte Williams, MarShawn Lloyd, and Kaleb Johnson.
- The Cowboys defense ranks 25th in points allowed this season — down from fifth in 2022, the year of Watson's career-best 107-yard, 3-TD performance against them.
- SportsLine expert Mike McClure built his picks using a simulation model that factors matchups, statistical trends, and injuries; he claims more than $2 million in career DFS winnings, including back-to-back tied-first finishes in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker and a win in the FanDuel Million.
Why it matters: Both teams' inability to run or stop the run makes this slate a passing-game DFS bonanza, with Lamb and Watson as headliners given elite production and track records against this week's opponents. For FanDuel and DraftKings players, McClure's two DK Millionaire Maker wins and one FanDuel Million win demonstrate his picks' tournament ceiling.
