The 2023 Week 2 NFL schedule opens with a high-profile Thursday Night Football matchup when Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles host Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET. In an NFL DFS player pool that features two high-end fantasy quarterbacks and multiple elite wide receivers like Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith, there will be tough decisions to be made when building NFL DFS lineups. Should Hurts or Cousins be part of your Thursday Night Football DFS lineups or NFL DFS stacks?

Before locking in any playoff NFL DFS lineups or NFL DFS stacks for Eagles vs. Vikings on Thursday Night Football on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Jimmie Kaylor has to say.

Kaylor is a NFL and DFS expert for SportsLine, who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings' NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He edged out over 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Kaylor, who cashed big all season in 2022, has covered the NFL and college football for close to a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks.  

Kaylor hit on epic NFL DFS picks all season in 2022. He was all over Travis Kelce's four-touchdown performance against the Raiders on Monday Night Football, Kirk Cousins' 460-yard, four-TD performance on Thanksgiving Day, and T.J. Hockenson's 13 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15.

Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to Eagles vs. Vikings on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks.

We can tell you that one of Kaylor's top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. "At this point, Justin Jefferson is basically becoming a must-start player in Showdown DFS formats. There's really no way around it," Kaylor told SportsLine. Part of Kaylor's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is one of the best dual-threat QBs in the league.

Kaylor is also targeting another under-the-radar player for TNF who could post HUGE numbers and carry your lineups to victory! His NFL DFS picks could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any lineups!
