NFL DFS, Saints vs. Jaguars: DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks for Thursday Night Football

The Jaguars became the first team to play back-to-back games in London and they won both their contests on the other side of the pond. They returned to the United States last week and there was no way of knowing how they’d perform. But the Jaguars showed no ill travel effects in their 37-20 win over the Colts and will now play in Saints on Thursday Night Football to kick off the Week 7 NFL schedule. The Jaguars have playmakers like Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Evan Engram and Travis Etienne Jr., who will all be in the NFL DFS player pool. Chris Olave and Michael Thomas make a quality passing duo for the Saints, so which receivers should you utilize when forming a Thursday Night Football NFL DFS strategy and entering NFL DFS stacks?

Top NFL DFS picks for Jaguars vs. Saints

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Saints receiver Michael Thomas. The three-time Pro Bowler played only 10 games over the previous three seasons after battling multiple injuries. However, he has stayed healthy to begin the 2023 NFL campaign and ranks second on the Saints in receptions (31), targets (47) and yards (329).

The Jaguars have allowed the fifth-most yards to receivers this season and their seven touchdowns surrendered to opposing receivers are tied for the third-highest in the NFL. Three receivers have posted at least 100 yards against the Jaguars over the last two weeks. Thomas is getting steady usage, seeing between seven and nine targets in all six games this season, giving him one of the highest floors in this matchup. He’s still seeking his first touchdown and if he can find the end zone against the Jaguars, he could be a huge asset to NFL DFS lineups.

Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Jaguars tight end Evan Engram. The 29-year-old has at least seven targets in five of six games this season and despite playing in an offense with high-caliber receivers like Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk, Engram leads the team in receptions (36).

Engram had seven receptions for 41 yards last week against the Colts. Texans tight end Dalton Schultz had four receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown against the Saints last week, the second time in three games New Orleans allowed a touchdown to an opposing tight end. Engram is a strong play for Thursday Night Football NFL DFS lineups. See the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS player pool right here.
