After a slow start to the season, Jonathan Taylor and Najee Harris have come on strong. The two guards will share the field on Monday Night Football when the Indianapolis Colts host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their price tags in the NFL DFS player pool have dropped throughout the season, but each has rushed for more than 200 total yards with two touchdowns in their last two games.

Top NFL DFS picks for the Steelers vs. the Colts
Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is one of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football. The surprise hiring of Jeff Saturday as Indy’s head coach did wonders for Taylor and transformed his season. After ranking 37th among running backs in Fantasy points through the first nine weeks of the season, Taylor is third in the final two weeks.
He just had 94 total yards and a score against the Eagles defense that ranks in the top six for points allowed and yards allowed. On the other hand, Pittsburgh’s defense ranks in the bottom seven in both categories. Taylor is averaging 21.5 touches per game, which is important to note because six of the last seven running backs to receive at least 12 touches against the Steelers have scored touchdowns.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes lining up Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. The rookie has received more playing time since Pittsburgh dealt Chase Claypool at the trade deadline. Over the past two weeks, Pickens has rushed for 138 yards and scored twice.
This production is a continuation of what Steelers fans have come to expect from Pickens, who has forged a strong relationship with rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett. Since Pickett made his debut in Week 4, Pickens has been one of the top 25 receivers in Fantasy. Indy has given up an average of 70.5 yards to starting receivers in its last two games, while allowing two wide receiver touchdowns in that span. You can see the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS tips here.
