A potential AFC Championship Game preview looms on Monday Night Football as the Cincinnati Bengals host the Buffalo Bills at 8:30 p.m. ET. Cincy has won seven straight behind Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon, while Buffalo is on a six-game win streak powered by Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. NFL DFS lineups will likely heavily feature the aforementioned players, but an overlooked option could also maneuver his way into Monday's NFL DFS rosters.
Tee Higgins often gets overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase, but his presence essentially gives the Bengals two No. 1 options. The lanky wideout has four touchdowns over his last five games and could very easily top all players in NFL daily Fantasy points on MNF. Before making any NFL DFS picks for Bengals vs. Bills, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice and strategy from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with over $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair of top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1% in more than a dozen other tournaments.
He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
This year, he's already won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Now, McClure has turned his attention to Bengals vs. Bills 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. Bengals
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Allen. Last week, Allen threw for two scores and ran another in to give him 174 total touchdowns in his career. That moved him past Dan Marino for the most passing plus rushing TDs for any player in NFL history through his first five seasons.
Allen has a great chance to extend his record as Cincinnati has suddenly turned into a goldmine for opposing QBs. The Bengals have allowed five passing TDs over their last two games after giving up the same number of touchdowns over their previous five games combined. Allen also has an extra incentive to have a big night as a huge performance in a primetime game against another elite QB would vault Allen's candidacy in terms of the MVP conversation.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Chase. After a midseason hip injury sidelined him for a month, Chase has shown no signs of being hindered over the last four weeks. He's averaged 88.8 receiving yards with two total TDs over this stretch, ranking eighth amongst all receivers in Fantasy points.
While Buffalo fields the No. 4 run defense, it ranks just 15th in defending the pass, so through the air is where to attack the Bills. That's been just the game plan versus Buffalo in recent weeks as the team has allowed five different wideouts to post 50-plus yards over the last three weeks. The Bills have also given up three TDs to opposing wideouts over just the last two games. With six TDs and an average of over 100 yards over his last six games, Chase has a great chance to at least reach one of those thresholds come Monday.
