Two teams will move one game closer to Super Bowl 59 on Saturday and both top seeds in the 2025 NFL playoffs will be in action on the first day of the Divisional Round. The top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs (-8.5, 41.5) will host the No. 4 Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET followed by the No. 1 Detroit Lions (-9.5, 55.5) facing the No. 6 Washington Commanders at 8 p.m. ET. The Chiefs and Lions were the only teams with a bye last week, so should Daily Fantasy football players target their top options in the NFL DFS player pool like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Jahmyr Gibbs or Amon-Ra St. Brown? Nico Collins had seven receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown while Joe Mixon rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown last week for the Texans, so how should they factor into your NFL DFS strategy?
Before making any Saturday Divisional Round NFL DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to hear what SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure has to say.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with SportsLine members.
His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. Last year, he won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Anyone who has followed him could be way up.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to Saturday's Divisional Round in the 2025 NFL playoffs and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks.
We can tell you one of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Saturday is Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs ($7,700 on DraftKings and $9.200 on FanDuel). Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Chiefs wide receiver Hollywood Brown ($4,200 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel). The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year, $11 million contract this offseason but a preseason shoulder injury ended nearly his entire regular-season. Brown returned Week 16 and had five receptions for 45 yards against the Texans. He followed with four receptions for 46 yards against the Steelers in Week 17 before the Chiefs rested key players in Week 18. Brown had 15 targets over those two games and McClure expects him to be heavily involved at a cheaper price for Saturday NFL DFS lineups.
