Top NFL DFS picks for Texans vs. Chiefs

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for 'Sunday Night Football' is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. After a couple mediocre years from a Fantasy perspective, Mahomes enters Week 14 leading the NFL in Fantasy points per game among quarterbacks. It's undoubtedly a tough matchup, but the Texans are dealing with several injuries on the defensive side, including missing defensive tackle Tim Settle Jr. and safety Jaylen Reed, setting the table for Mahomes to return value in a must-win primetime spot. He's also had, essentially, nothing but success versus Houston with a 15:1 TD:INT, all-time, versus the Texans. See who else to roster at SportsLine.

McClure is also building his 'Sunday Night Football' NFL DFS strategy around Houston tight end Dalton Schultz. He had no more than six targets in any game through Week 6, but he's been a bigger part of the offense since that point. He's been targeted 43 times and has 39 catches for 366 yards over the past seven weeks, drawing at least eight targets in four of his last five games. Kansas City has solid numbers overall against opposing tight ends, but has allowed 289 yards and two scores against the position over the past four weeks. See more NFL DFS picks at SportsLine.
