The Broncos and 49ers bounced back from Week 1 losses to claim their first win of the season in Week 2 and now the two proud franchises will face off on Sunday Night Football. Russell Wilson’s first two games in Denver were far from prolific, but the 49ers will have to readjust to have Jimmy Garoppolo as a starter after Trey Lance’s season-ending injury last week. Signing up a quarterback on a single-game NFL DFS slate is a virtual necessity, so can any of these QBs post big numbers on Sunday night?
The Broncos and 49ers both rank in the top five in scoring defense, which makes your NFL DFS roster decisions even more difficult. So which players should be included in your NFL DFS rosters for the 49ers vs. the Broncos? Before making your NFL DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to see NFL DFS tips, strategy and player projections from SportsLine Fantasy daily expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary DFS professional player with over $2 million in career earnings. His methodology has led to huge wins on FanDuel and DraftKings. He won two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair of top 10s in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His rosters have also finished in the top 1% in over a dozen other tournaments.
It uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every instant NFL action, taking into account factors such as games, statistical trends, and injuries. This allows him to find the best DFS values which he only shares with SportsLine members.
Last week, McClure featured Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams in his Thursday Night NFL DFS picks for Los Angeles against Kansas City. The result: Without Keenan Allen (hamstring) available, Williams gained 113 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Chiefs.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to the 49ers against the Broncos and locked in his top fantasy football daily picks. You can only see his picks and analysis on SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Broncos vs. 49ers
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. Denver has only managed to score 16 points in its two games this season, but Wilson has actually been quite productive. He’s averaging 7.7 yards per pass attempt and has thrown for 559 yards and two scores with just one interception.
Wilson hasn’t had a particularly big impact with his legs so far this season, rushing for just five yards in the first two games. However, he has rushed for 4,694 yards and 23 touchdowns in his career and has rushed for at least 20 yards in five of his last six games against San Francisco.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes lining up 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The league’s most versatile offensive threat is coming off a massive season where he produced 1,770 yards from scrimmage. He also scored 14 touchdowns to earn a three-year, $71.55 million extension this offseason.
With his contract in place to eliminate any concerns about his potential use out of the backfield, the 49ers are now free to use him as they see fit and Samuel is once again making an impact as a runner and receiver. He had seven catches for 58 yards and rushed the ball 12 times for 105 yards and a touchdown. You can see the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS tips here.
