Lions vs. Packers on Sunday is one of the highlights of the Week 9 NFL schedule with first place in the NFC North on the line.

Top NFL Week 9 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the Optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels ($7,500 on DraftKings and $8,700 on FanDuel). The No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft hasn’t only firmly inserted himself in the NFL Rookie of the Year race, he’s also entering the NFL MVP conversation. Daniels has 11 touchdowns (seven passing) with two interceptions as he’s led the Commanders to a surprising 6-2 start this season. Nothing this whole season may be as surprising as the final play of Washington’s game last week when Daniels threw a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown as time expired and Daniels flung the ball 65 yards in the air for the winning score, but that play showcased how Daniels can defeat teams in multiple ways.
Daniels can also score NFL DFS points in multiple ways as he’s rushed for 424 yards, the second-most for a quarterback. He’s rushed for at least 40 yards in six of eight games this season and has rushed for at least 50 yards in back-to-back contests. Daniels has thrown for more than 225 yards in all six games following his NFL debut where he started and finished the contest and with the different ways he can score NFL DFS points, the Optimizer views him as a strong value to NFL DFS lineups against the Giants, who are allowing 27 points per game over their last two contests.
The Optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore ($6,500 on DraftKings and $6,600 FanDuel). The 27-year-old was held to two receptions for 27 yards against a Washington defense that has performed better than many expected entering the season. Moore had his best performance in Week 5 with five receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns against the Panthers.
Moore had a career-high in receptions (96), yards (1,364) and touchdowns (eight) last season as he’s become the clear go-to pass-catching option in Chicago. Although he’s still perfecting his timing with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, Moore still leads the team in receptions (33), targets (51) and receiving yards (341) this season. The Bears play the Cardinals, who rank 27th in yards allowed (376.5 per game) and 26th in passing yards allowed (235.6). You can see the rest of the Optimizer’s NFL DFS picks here.
