Top NFL DFS picks for Giants vs. Steelers on MNF
One of Kaylor's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers. The rookie first round pick out of LSU has gotten off to an outstanding start to his NFL career. Nabers has played in five games this season, going over 100 yards twice.
Nabers enters this primetime matchup with 39 catches for 427 yards and three touchdowns. He averages 10 targets per game, and has a noticeable rapport with quarterback Daniel Jones. In a game where the Giants could be behind early, Nabers should see his typical heavy dose of targets, given the Giants are six-point underdogs.
Kaylor is also targeting Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. The former Georgia standout has developed into one of the most explosive downfield threats in the NFL. In his first game playing with Russell Wilson in Week 7, Pickens caught five passes for 111 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Pickens has 31 catches for 474 yards and a touchdown. He has been targeted a total of 53 times, but Pittsburgh's offensive scheme was far more run heavy when Justin Fields was the team's starting quarterback. Kaylor expects another uptick in targets for Pickens on Monday Night Football in Week 8 in his second game playing with Wilson. Pickens had his first receiving score of the season last week with Wilson under center. See who else Kaylor likes right here.
