Top NFL DFS picks for Chiefs vs. Ravens

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is no stranger to playing in the NFL Kickoff Game, doing so after each of his previous two Super Bowl victories. Although Mahomes didn't have his best game last season with 226 passing yards and two touchdowns with an interception, Mahomes had three touchdowns in his first NFL Kickoff Game. He's played under all kinds of pressure throughout his career and nearly every football fan in America tuning in for the NFL Kickoff Game, Mahomes will be ready for the spotlight.

Mahomes has arguably the highest floor of anyone in Thursday's NFL DFS player pool. Everything the Chiefs do offensively centers around Mahomes and Kansas City added depth at pass catcher after selecting Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft and signing Juju Smith-Schuster. Mahomes comes with a steep price tag but as one of the most reliable players in the NFL, he's one McClure doesn't want to be without when building NFL DFS lineups.

McClure is also targeting Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy in his Ravens vs. Chiefs DFS picks. Worthy makes his NFL debut in the 2024 NFL Kickoff Game after being selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. But Worthy didn't just fall into the Chiefs' laps, they saw an opportunity and traded up for him and the fact they moved up for Worthy means they see massive potential in him. Worthy is a deep threat and with a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, that can be a perfect match.

Worthy led one of the best skill position groups in the country at Texas in receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,014) last season. With Marquise Brown (shoulder) expected to miss the first contest, Worthy could see a large target share in Week 1 and after losing last year's NFL Kickoff Game, McClure expects a better performance from Kansas City and Worthy figures to be a key part in that.
