2022 USFL DFS picks: Top DraftKings tournament strategy, advice for Week 7 from a Fantasy expert

SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert and CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling editor, R.J. White, shares his Week 7 USFL DFS strategy

By@rjwhite1.bsky.socialPublished: May 26, 2022 8:14PM UTC . 3 min read

Former TCU wide receiver KaVontae Turpin leads the USFL in receiving yards, and he'll look to add to his season total this weekend in New Jersey's game against Tampa Bay on Saturday. Turpin has 341 receiving yards and two touchdowns this season, but faces off against a Bandits defense on Saturday that allowed just 66 passing yards to Philadelphia last weekend. That matchup precedes Sunday's game between the Birmingham Stallions and Pittsburgh Maulers. Birmingham has the league's only undefeated record and a number of players worth considering for USFL DFS lineups.

After getting his start with Birmingham two weeks ago, former Alabama and NFL running back Bo Scarbrough broke out in last week's win against Michigan. Scarbrough trampled the Panthers and finished with 104 yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries in the 33-17 win. Both are compelling names to consider in the USFL DFS player pool for the Week 7 action. If you're on the hunt for Week 6 USFL DFS picks, you can't do any better than SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert, R.J. White.

CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling managing editor, White has delivered consistently on a high volume of picks over the long-term, returning $2,542 to $100 bettors on more than 800 against the spread picks since the start of the 2017 NFL season. It's no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.

He was also 16-4 on all XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations in 2020. That included starting a 13-1 run at the start as books scrambled to correctly evaluate team quality in a league where little was known heading into the season. He also had a successful start to the 2022 USFL season, going 6-2 with his first eight USFL picks. His combination of expert pick knowledge and Fantasy background means he can find the best USFL DFS values.

Now, White has locked in his USFL DFS picks for the four-game slate in Week 6 and also is offering up his analysis.

We can tell you that White is high on Houston quarterback Clayton Thorson, who is listed at $8,600 on DraftKings. White is also high on Pittsburgh wide receiver Bailey Gaither ($8,800 on DraftKings). Even though Pittsburgh has won just one game this season, Gaither is the league's fourth-best wide receiver.He's played just four games, but he's caught 20 passes for 296 yards and four touchdowns on just 32 total targets.

White is also targeting several players who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in Week 7 USFL action! These picks could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any lineups.
