The NFL Week 7 schedule comes to a close with a doubleheader on Monday Night Football. The first game of the night is Ravens (-3.5) vs. Buccaneers at 8:15 p.m. ET, followed by Chargers (-1.5) vs. Cardinals at 9 p.m. ET. Reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson headlines the MNF NFL DFS player pool, but the three other starting quarterbacks (Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, and Kyler Murray) are all capable of bolstering NFL DFS lineups. Should Jackson still be a part of your NFL DFS picks and NFL DFS stacks for Monday Night Football in Week 7?
Other proven options for the MNF DFS slate include Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, Trey McBride, and Mark Andrews. Who should you target in your Monday Night Football NFL DFS strategy?

Top NFL DFS picks for Buccaneers vs. Ravens and Cardinals vs. Chargers on MNF
One of Kaylor's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. The reigning NFL MVP is one of the most dynamic offensive players the league has ever seen, and he is capable of erupting for massive numbers anytime he plays. Jackson already has two career 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and is on pace to finish with over 1,100 rushing yards in 2024.
Jackson has been a mainstay atop the fantasy football quarterback rankings since becoming a full-time starter. HIs dual-threat ability makes him incredibly difficult to defend in the red zone. Jackson enters Monday's matchup with 1,529 passing yards, 10 touchdown passes, and two interceptions, and 403 rushing yards and two scores.
Kaylor is also targeting Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Oregon has made it hard for Tampa Bay to keep him off the field. Irving is coming off his most productive game in the NFL in Week 6, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, and catching two passes for 24 yards.
Irving is facing a Ravens defense that has been strong against the run in 2024, but his ability as a pass catcher out of the backfield gives him added fantasy value. For the season, Irving has carried 58 times for 328 yards and two touchdowns, and he's caught 10 passes for 70 yards. See who else Kaylor likes right here.
