Few teams boast the 1-2 punch at receiver like the Seahawks have with Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. They each have three receiving touchdowns, making them one of two teams in the league with multiple wide receivers who have at least three scores. The NFL‘s leader in receiving touchdowns will be on the other sideline for Thursday Night Football, Cooper Kupp. He has five TDs through the air and will be part of a deep NFL DFS player pool at receiver for Rams vs. Seahawks. Which NFL DFS picks and NFL DFS stacks can you trust?
Should Kupp be the first receiver you slot into your NFL DFS lineups for this pivotal NFC West matchup? Can the Lockett-Metcalf tandem continue to beat coverage in the end zone for quarterback Russell Wilson?

Top NFL DFS picks for Rams vs. Seahawks
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. As has been the custom throughout his entire career, Wilson made plays with his arm and his legs in Week 4 versus the 49ers. He threw for 149 yards and two TDs, while also rushing for 26 yards and a touchdown.
Last season, Wilson used his legs quite often versus the Rams, as he rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown over three games against L.A. The Rams have struggled against scrambling QBs, allowing the fifth-most rushing yards to the position entering Week 4. The Cardinals laid out the blueprint on how to puncture the Rams’ defense with Kyler Murray being a factor through the air and on the ground. Seattle should employ a similar strategy, making Wilson highly valuable as one of Thursday’s NFL DFS picks.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson. The second-year wideout is coming off a strong showing against the Cardinals, catching all six of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson led the Rams in receptions and receiving yards against Arizona, and with defenses continuing to build their game plans around stopping Cooper Kupp, he should continue to see an uptick in usage.
Jefferson has been targeted 12 times over the last two games and is expected to be a major part of Los Angeles’ game plan against a Seattle defense that’s giving up 444.5 yards per game on average, which ranks dead-last in the NFL. Confidently lock Jefferson into your NFL DFS lineups and look for a big return against the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football.
