Whenever you have an offense led by Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, other players on the Bills can often get lost in the shuffle. Receiver Isaiah McKenzie rewarded those who slotted him into NFL DFS lineups last week with over 100 total yards and a touchdown. His only previous game with over 100 scrimmage yards came in Week 16 of last year, against the New England Patriots. Does his track record against New England and performance last week make him someone you can’t pass up on in TNF NFL DFS lineups? Before you make your NFL DFS picks for Bills vs. Patriots on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with over $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair of top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1% in more than a dozen other tournaments.
He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
This year, he’s already won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Now, McClure has turned his attention to Bills vs. Patriots and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Bills vs. Patriots
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Part of crafting a winning NFL DFS strategy isn’t just grabbing players with high ceilings, but ones with high floors as well. Stevenson has as high of a floor as any running back in the league, as he’s either scored a TD or produced 82 total yards in his last nine games.
He leads the team with 680 rushing yards and tops all Patriots with 50 receptions. His 1,039 scrimmage yards are more than the combined totals of Jakobi Meyers and Damien Harris, who rank second and third, respectively, on the team in yards. With Harris (thigh) doubtful to play on Thursday, even more of the offense should be on Stevenson, who has proven to be up to the task both on the ground and through the air.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis. Playing in one of the most exciting offenses in the league, Davis has become the bonafide big-play threat across from Stefon Diggs. In the last three seasons, Davis is averaging 17.5 yards per reception, and nine of his 18 touchdowns have been from 20 yards or more.
He’s been targeted at least five times in every game he’s played except one this season, and his 19.7 yards per catch ranks second in the NFL entering Week 13. Now, he’ll take on a Patriots pass defense that gave up 310 passing yards and three touchdowns to the Vikings last week. With all the attention focused on Diggs this week, look for Davis to get loose in the New England secondary and have the opportunity to make a couple of splash plays on TNF.
