NFL DFS picks, Chiefs vs. Ravens: NFL Kickoff Game 2024 lineups include Patrick Mahomes on FanDuel, DraftKings

NFL DFS picks, Chiefs vs. Ravens: NFL Kickoff Game 2024 lineups include Patrick Mahomes on FanDuel, DraftKings

The 2024 NFL Kickoff Game will pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game on Thursday. Travis Kelce put together a dominant postseason run, catching 32 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns in four playoff games. The Chiefs beefed up their receiver room this offseason to give Kelce more support, but he’s still the top option in the Kansas City passing attack and will be heavily rostered in NFL DFS lineups on Thursday. How much exposure should you have to the superstar tight end and who else in the NFL DFS player pool should you roster for Chiefs vs. Ravens DFS lineups? Before locking in any NFL DFS lineups for Ravens vs. Chiefs on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure

This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings, including.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Ravens vs. Chiefs in the 2024 NFL season opener and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Chiefs vs. Ravens

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes averaged a career-low 7.0 yards per pass attempt in 2023 but he still finished his season with 4,183 passing yards and 27 touchdowns in 16 games while also rushing for a career-high 389 yards. He’s a generational talent and now he’ll be armed with a better supporting staff after Kansas City made major upgrades at wide receiver.

Free-agent addition Marquise Brown will miss the season-opener with a shoulder injury but first-round pick Xavier Worthy will be in the lineup and Rashee Rice remains eligible to play despite offseason legal troubles. Mahomes completed 76.9% of his passes for 241 yards and a touchdown and didn’t turn the ball over in a gritty win in Baltimore last postseason. Now he’ll have the benefit of playing at home, where he threw 17 of his 27 touchdowns passes last season.

McClure is also targeting Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy in his Ravens vs. Chiefs DFS picks. Worthy led a Texas playmaking group that had five skill position players taken in the 2024 NFL Draft in receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,014) last year. Even in an offense filled with NFL talent, Worthy still shined as the go-to elite option, resulting in the Chiefs trading up to select him with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Worthy matched his elite on-field skills by setting the NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash (4.21 seconds). Speed translates quickly to the NFL, especially when playing with a quarterback with an arm like Patrick Mahomes, and Worthy will be a big-play threat from Week 1. Kansas City is shorthanded on Thursday with Marquise Brown (shoulder) out, which should create more target opportunities for Worthy, who can return value on his price tag on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings even with just one or two big plays. See who else McClure likes right here.
