Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Wild Card Saturday DFS slate and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine. 

Top NFL DFS picks for Wild Card Saturday

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Saturday is Nacua. The third-year player leads the NFL with 129 receptions and is second in receiving yards at 1,715. He had 10 receiving touchdowns and one score on the ground as well. He had a solid 6-72 receiving line against the Panthers earlier this season, but will be on the hunt for bigger numbers in this playoff setting. It was actually Davante Adams who burned Carolina with two scores in that game, but with Adams coming off a hamstring injury, the door could be open for a huge evening for Nacua. See who else to roster at SportsLine, and bet Nacua to go Over 91.5 receiving yards at DraftKings Sportsbook:

McClure is also building his Saturday NFL DFS strategy around Bears receiver Luther Burden III. The rookie out of Missouri has become a huge part of Chicago's passing attack down the stretch. He's been targeted at least six times in five of the past six games. That span includes an 8-64 game against the Browns and a massive 8-138-1 game against the 49ers. The Packers have given up the 20th-most Fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, and Burden had four receptions for 67 yards against them on Dec. 7. See more NFL DFS picks at SportsLine, and bet Burden to go Over 43.5 receiving yards at DraftKings:
