- Mike McClure has released his top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football's Week 2 game between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams, set for 8:15 p.m. ET at the Rams' home stadium.
- Jaxson Dart is one of McClure's top plays, after completing 79.3% of his passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 54 rushing yards in his Giants debut under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
- Isaiah Likely is McClure's stack partner with Dart, posting an 8-catch, 78-yard, two-touchdown debut with New York after arriving via free agency from the Ravens, where the source notes he is now out of Mark Andrews' shadow.
- The Rams enter 0-1 after losing their opener in Australia to the 49ers, with receiver Puka Nacua (hip) listed questionable; per the source, Los Angeles is also without Myles Garrett (knee) and could limit Aaron Donald in his return to the NFL.
- The game's over/under sits at 47.5, and Los Angeles safety Kamren Kinchens (hamstring) is also out, weakening the Rams' secondary for the Giants passing attack.
- The New York Giants were one of Week 1's biggest surprises after upsetting the Cowboys, a result the source cites as fueling confidence in stacking New York's offensive pieces on the single-game DFS slate.
Why it matters: With the Rams missing multiple defensive starters per the source and the Giants coming off an upset win, Monday's single-game DFS slate hinges on whether the Dart-Likely stack delivers correlation. Likely's free-agent move from Baltimore into Harbaugh's system is the storyline DFS entrants may underweight if Nacua sits, making the stack a contrarian pivot against the public chasing Los Angeles receivers.
