- Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL this season with 583 receiving yards and 7 receiving touchdowns, and is one of Mike McClure's top TNF DFS picks against a Denver defense that has slipped to 22nd in yards allowed this year from second last year.
- Emanuel Wilson, Seattle's third-string running back, has produced at least 72 yards and a touchdown in back-to-back weeks, positioning him as a potential sleeper pick after Denver allowed 155 rushing yards to the Chargers on Sunday.
- Jaylen Waddle has averaged 56.3 total yards with one touchdown over his last four games, making him part of a Denver DFS stack pairing McClure is building around, alongside Courtland Sutton.
- The Seattle Seahawks defense has allowed 8 of its 10 touchdowns through the air this season, including a pair to San Francisco last week where Mike Evans caught 7 passes for 113 yards — a clear vulnerability Denver's passing game can exploit.
- Mike McClure, a SportsLine DFS expert with more than $2 million in career winnings, uses a prediction model that simulates every snap and shares picks only with SportsLine members, with his optimal TNF lineups accessible via the platform.
Why it matters: DFS players targeting TNF gain specific data-backed edges: Smith-Njigba's NFL-leading 583 receiving yards face a Broncos pass defense that fell from 2nd to 22nd in yards allowed year-over-year, while Seattle's 8-of-10 touchdown allowance through the air gives Denver's Waddle-Sutton stack a concrete matchup advantage — and Wilson's back-to-back 72+ yard games make him a viable low-rostered sleeper.
