- Bijan Robinson is a top DFS target 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 — and he currently ranks fifth this season in touches (48) and scrimmage yards (254).
- Matthew Golden is a featured value play with 10 catches for 153 yards through two games and at least 58 receiving yards in each, and his opportunity expands further with Jayden Reed sidelined by a back injury.
- The Green Bay Packers rank dead last in rushing yards this season without Josh Jacobs, and SportsLine expects a heavy pass lean against an Atlanta defense that allowed three different wideouts to post at least 64 yards last week.
- Michael Penix Jr.'s potential return at quarterback for Atlanta could open the DFS player pool and boost the values of Drake London and Kyle Pitts, per SportsLine.
- Mike McClure, a SportsLine DFS expert with more than $2 million in career winnings, has locked in his TNF picks using a model that simulates every snap and has produced wins on both FanDuel and DraftKings, including two DraftKings Millionaire Maker finishes.
Why it matters: For DFS players building Thursday Night Football lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings, McClure's model flags Robinson as a must-start against a Green Bay defense that has already surrendered three rushing touchdowns to running backs, while Golden's role expands with Reed hurt and the Packers forced to lean on the pass without Jacobs.
