The Chargers are one of the most effective rushing teams in the NFL this season, ranking second in rushing yards per game (197.5) on 5.6 yards per carry, which ranks fourth in the league. The Chargers are 2-0 this year and J.K. Dobbins leads the NFL with 266 rushing yards in his first two games back from a torn Achilles suffered last season, so should you expect Dobbins to continue that success against the Steelers for Week 3 NFL DFS lineups? Dobbins remains in a timeshare with Gus Edwards and the latter has even more carries than Dobbins (29 to 27). Edwards is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry compared to Dobbins’ 9.9, so how should that affect your Week 3 NFL DFS strategy? Who else from the Week 3 NFL DFS player pool should you consider for NFL DFS lineups? Before making any Week 3 Sunday main slate NFL DFS lineups 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.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Sunday main slate on the Week 3 NFL schedule 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 Week 3
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for the Sunday Week 3 main slate is Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ($8,800 on DraftKings and $9,300 on FanDuel). He had more than 150 receiving yards in four of eight home games last season while averaging 119.4 yards per game at home last year. Lamb was the WR1 in Fantasy football last season and led the league in receptions (135) while finishing second with 1,749 receiving yards.
Raiders WR1 Davante Adams had nine receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown last week against the Ravens and the Cowboys utilize Lamb in a similar way as the Raiders use Adams. They are both the unquestioned top options in the offense and even though opposing teams know that, it’s still nearly impossible to completely remove them from the contest. Adams hauled in nine of 12 targets last week and after Lamb had nine receptions for 90 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown reception last week, McClure believes Lamb is in line for another huge performance to justify his NFL DFS price tag.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs ($6,800 on DraftKings, $7,900 on FanDuel). The second-year running back is matching his production as a rookie, rushing for 62 yards per game on 5.2 yards per carry after rushing for 63 yards on 5.2 yards per carry per game last season. He’s averaging 28 receiving yards through two games after averaging 21 receiving yards per game last season and his production last year made Gibbs RB10 in Fantasy football, including RB8 in points-per-game last season.
The Lions offense is off to a slower start than some expected, averaging 23 points per game through two games compared to 27.1 ppg last season, but a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals can quickly correct that. The Cardinals had the second-worst scoring defense (26.8 ppg) in the NFL last season and opened this year by allowing 34 points to the Bills. Arizona also allowed the most rushing yards (143.2 per game) in the NFL last season as it allowed the opposing team’s RB1 to run for more than 100 yards in four of the final seven games. Those seven RB1s combined to average 97.7 rushing yards and Gibbs can provide value with his pass-catching as well, making him a strong option for McClure in Week 3 NFL DFS lineups.
