NFL DFS, Broncos vs. Browns: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks for Thursday Night Football

The Browns have used wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. as more of a luxury than a necessity since he joined Cleveland in 2019, but that could change on Thursday Night Football. Running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt won’t play, potentially forcing the Browns to shift to a pass-heavy game plan versus the Broncos. Beckham hasn’t posted a 100-yard game in over two years, but his talent is undeniable, making him highly appealing for Thursday’s NFL DFS lineups.

Add in that wide receiver Jarvis Landry hasn’t played since Week 2 and quarterback Baker Mayfield is day-to-day with a shoulder injury, and Beckham may be the only recognizable Brown in the NFL DFS player pool. Thus, it wouldn’t hurt to have assistance scouring the Browns’ depth chart to locate other NFL DFS picks against Denver. Before submitting your NFL DFS lineups for Thursday Night Football, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy football picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with almost $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 top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1 percent in more than a dozen other tournaments last season.

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.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Browns vs. Broncos NFL DFS slate and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Broncos vs. Browns

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. The former No. 1 overall pick hurt his already-injured shoulder in Week 6 and had to enter the medical tent. But Mayfield didn’t miss a snap and said he will “absolutely” play on Thursday Night Football.

Mayfield is likely eager to be on the field after seeing what Derek Carr did to the Broncos’ defense on Sunday. Despite being shrouded in controversy after Jon Gruden’s departure, the Raiders picked apart Denver’s defense as the Broncos allowed the most yards, most passing yards and most points it has all season. Mayfield has taken a backseat to Cleveland’s run game this year, but with the running back injuries, he will get to show why he was the first overall pick in 2018. He already has two 300-yard passing games this year and owns a 5:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio over his last four games.

Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton. The fourth-year pro ranks 11th in the league with 53 targets and translated those into 33 receptions for 471 yards and two touchdowns.

Over his last two games, Sutton has taken his game to another level with 15 grabs for 214 yards and two scores. Coincidentally, the last two weeks have been the worst for the Browns at defending the other team’s receivers. Cleveland allowed four touchdowns to opposing receivers last week against Arizona, which came after giving up an 8-165-2 stat line to Mike Williams the week before. With Sutton’s recent hot streak and the Browns being exploited through the air, you can see why McClure is high on the Broncos’ top receiver.
