SportsLine Expert Recommends Lamb, Coleman for Sunday NFL DFS Slate
Mike McClure, a professional player with over $2 million in winnings, identifies high-exposure options and undervalued sleepers for the 11-game Week 9 lineup.
By Bianca Herrera ·
Three NFL games this Sunday feature a total point line higher than 50, creating a high-scoring environment for daily fantasy football participants. The Week 9 main slate consists of 11 contests, with the first kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. The matchups with the highest projected scoring are the Lions versus the Dolphins, the Cowboys versus the Colts, and the 49ers versus the Raiders.
SportsLine analyst Mike McClure has released his recommended picks for these games. McClure is a professional DFS player who has accumulated more than $2 million in career winnings. His prediction model simulates individual plays based on matchups, statistical trends, and injury reports. This method previously resulted in him finishing tied for first place in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker tournament twice and the FanDuel Million once.
McClure names Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb as a top selection. Lamb is priced at $8,800 on FanDuel and $8,300 on DraftKings. He faces the Indianapolis Colts in a game with a 51.5 point over/under, which is the highest on the Sunday slate. Lamb currently holds a target share of nearly 33 percent and ranks near the top of the league in receiving categories. His season totals stand at 60 receptions for 709 yards and 6 touchdowns.
The analyst also recommends Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman. Coleman costs $6,300 on FanDuel and $5,300 on DraftKings. He serves as the primary ball carrier for Denver while RJ Harvey is out with a knee injury. Coleman has become the preferred option over JK Dobbins in recent weeks. He will face the Carolina Panthers, a defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
Other high-profile names on the slate include Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and Dak Prescott. However, McClure suggests that winning rosters require finding value in lesser-known players. He cites Adonai Mitchell, Drew Lock, and Malachi Fields as potential sleepers who offer better value than the high-priced stars.
McClure notes that identifying undervalued players is essential for differentiating in both cash games and tournaments. His full lineup recommendations and stack strategies are available exclusively to SportsLine members.
