The NFL Week 3 schedule wraps up with a doubleheader on Monday Night Football featuring Bills vs. Jaguars at 7:30 p.m. ET and Commanders vs. Bengals at 8:15 p.m. ET. The NFL DFS player pool is headlined by big-name players like Josh Allen, James Cook, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Terry McLaurin. While each of those players could have significant NFL DFS projections for MNF, history has proven that finding NFL DFS sleepers and NFL DFS value picks is the key to success when building NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks.

Kaylor is a NFL and DFS expert for SportsLine, who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings' NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He edged out over 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Kaylor, who cashed big all season in 2022, has covered the NFL and college football for close to a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel.
Kaylor hit on epic NFL DFS picks for SportsLine members throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons. In 2022, he was all over Travis Kelce's four-touchdown performance against the Raiders on Monday Night Football, Kirk Cousins' 460-yard, four-TD performance on Thanksgiving Day, and T.J. Hockenson's 13 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15. In 2023, he hit on Ja'Marr Chase's massive Week 5 performance (15 catches, 192 yards, three TDs), D.J. Moore's eight catches for 230 yards and three touchdowns in Week 14, and De'Von Anchane's breakout performance (233 total yards, four TD's) in Week 3. Anyone who followed his picks is way up.
This season, in the Sao Paulo game one of Kaylor's top picks was Green Bay wide receiver Jayden Reed, who caught four passes for 138 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 33 yards and a score, and James Cook, who scored three touchdowns on Thursday Night Football against the Dolphins.
Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to Jaguars vs. Bills and Commanders vs. Bengals on Monday Night Football in Week 3 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. Jaguars and Bengals vs. Commanders
One of Kaylor's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The former Wyoming standout has been a mainstay atop the fantasy football quarterback rankings since taking over as Buffalo's full-time starter in 2019. Allen may have the strongest arm in the NFL, and is one of the top pure passers in the game today.
In addition to his ability as a thrower, Allen is also one of the NFL's best running quarterbacks. Since entering the NFL in 2018, Allen has 55 rushing touchdowns, including 15 in 2023. His dual-threat ability makes him incredibly difficult for defenses to contain in the red zone.
Kaylor is also targeting Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Chase has been one of the top wide receivers in the NFL since he entered the league in 2021. The former LSU standout is a threat to score every time he touches the ball, and he plays with one of the best passing quarterbacks in the NFL in Joe Burrow.
Chase has gotten off to a slow start in 2024, but Kaylor expects that to change on Monday Night Football. Through two games, Chase has 10 catches for 97 yards -- numbers he could easily eclipse on MNF. With fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins expected to make his 2024 debut this week, Washington won't be able to exclusively focus on slowing down Chase. See who else Kaylor likes right here.
