Mike McClure, the legendary DFS pro with over $2 million in career winnings, just locked in his top Sunday Night Football picks for the Chiefs vs. Colts game tonight, and he’s leaning heavy on Patrick Mahomes. When a guy who’s tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and won the FanDuel Million once drops his picks, you gotta pay attention, especially for Week 2 action.
Mahomes Is Back From ACL Surgery and Looking DANGEROUS
If you watched Week 1, you saw Patrick Mahomes make his return from ACL surgery, and man, did he get better as the game went on. He accounted for three total touchdowns in that first game, completing 12 of his last 14 passes by the end. The dude is locked in. It gets even better: last season against the Colts, Mahomes went off for 352 passing yards, a season high for him, and even tacked on 30 rushing yards. And get this: in Week 1, the Colts defense let Lamar Jackson pass for 324 yards, which was the fourth most of his career. You think Mahomes isn’t gonna exploit that? He absolutely will. McClure sees it, and you should too. Beyond Mahomes, Travis Kelce is always a sought-after DFS stack with him. Plus, Kenneth Walker made an impressive team debut and definitely belongs in your daily fantasy discussions.
Colts Have Weapons Too, But One WR Is a Must-Pick
Don’t sleep on the Colts’ side of the ball, though. Jonathan Taylor is as consistent as they come, and Tyler Warren is among the top players at his position, making him a solid addition to the DFS player pool. But the real standout for Indy is wideout Keenan Allen. He led the Colts with six catches in Week 1 and was the *only* Indy receiver to get a target inside the 10-yard line. That kind of usage is gold in DFS. Plus, Allen knows the Chiefs well from his time in the AFC West and has consistently put up at least 55 yards against them. You might also remember Colts tight end Andrew Ogletree, who found the endzone against the Chiefs last November. Even Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who converted five field goals in that same game last November, is worth a look if you’re trying to save on the salary cap.
This Sunday Night Football showdown is gonna be electric. McClure’s using a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap, taking into account matchups, trends, and injuries to find the best values out there.
