At $14,500 on FanDuel, Sony Michel is the most expensive running back in NFL DFS tournaments and cash games for the 2019 Super Bowl between the Rams and Patriots. Over on DraftKings, it's Todd Gurley, who's going off at $13,500. With reports on Sunday morning that Gurley and C.J. Anderson will split carries in Super Bowl 53, NFL DFS players have plenty to consider before entering their lineups. Making the right call on who to trust and who to fade is the key to cashing in Patriots vs. Rams single-game NFL DFS tournaments on Sunday. So, before selecting your flex players and naming a "King" or "MVP," you should see the top NFL DFS picks and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure. He's won almost $2 million in his career as a professional DFS player and his strategy and optimal lineups can only be seen at SportsLine.

McClure is rolling through the 2018 season thanks to some spot-on daily Fantasy football picks. In Week 1, his optimal NFL DFS lineups finished in the top 3 percent of tournaments on DraftKings and the top 1 percent of tournaments on FanDuel. In Week 4, he finished in the top 2 percent on DraftKings and top 6 percent on FanDuel. In Week 5, his lineups cashed with ease on both sites. In Week 8, his followers saw massive returns with his DraftKings lineup finishing in the top 1 percent of all tournaments, while his Week 9 lineup cashed with ease on FanDuel.
He cashed yet again on both sites in Week 10, and then his optimal lineup on FanDuel returned almost 3x in Weeks 11, 12 and 13. He followed that up with yet another cash on DraftKings tournaments in Week 15, and then finished in the top 0.1 percent of tournaments on FanDuel and inside the top 5 percent on DraftKings in Week 16. Anyone who has followed him is way, way up.
For the 2019 Super Bowl McClure, we can tell you McClure is targeting Rams quarterback Jared Goff.
Goff has made tremendous strides in just his second full year as the starter for Los Angeles. He finished the regular season with 4,668 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, and just 12 interceptions. And he's proven he can pile up points for NFL DFS owners in a hurry. In fact, Goff has thrown at least three touchdowns on six separate occasions this season. And Goff has played extremely well indoors, throwing for 688 yards and four touchdowns in two games.
Plus, the Patriots had trouble putting pressure on the opposing team's quarterback this season, recording just 30 sacks, which ranked just 30th in the NFL. That means Goff will have plenty of time in the pocket to survey the field and find one of his 1,000-yard receivers. He's one of the top NFL DFS picks who needs to be in Super Bowl DFS lineups.
Part of McClure's 2019 Super Bowl NFL DFS strategy also includes stacking Goff with Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds.
Reynolds comes at an extremely affordable price on DraftKings and FanDuel considering he'll be on the field for a vast majority of snaps as L.A.'s third receiver. He's embraced that role since Cooper Kupp (knee) went down in November.
Reynolds instantly stepped up with six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs in his first game as a starter, and he's been a regular target for quarterback Jared Goff since that point. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is known for taking opponents' top options away, so expect New England's defense to be keyed in on Gurley, Brandin Cooks, and Robert Woods. That gives Reynolds, who has been targeted 11 times this postseason and also has two rushing attempts, a strong opportunity to return tournament-winning value for NFL DFS players in the 2019 Super Bowl.
McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for massive numbers during the 2019 Super Bowl because of a dream matchup. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
