While the 2022 NFL schedule is shaping up as another lost year for Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, rookie Chris Olave has taken advantage of additional opportunities. The No. 11 overall pick will get a primetime stage to showcase his talents when the New Orleans Saints host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. With Baltimore having a run-heavy offense with the likes of Lamar Jackson and Kenyan Drake, Olave could be the most sought after receiver in the NFL DFS player pool. Given New Orleans' recent success in featuring Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara, will the Saints' passing offense take a backseat in Monday Night Football NFL DFS lineups? Before you make your NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Top NFL DFS picks for Saints vs. Ravens
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. He already has 15 passing touchdowns this season, including four games with two-plus scores through the air. He's a true dual-threat and also has 553 yards rushing this season on 75 attempts.
Jackson has four games with double-digit carries and now faces a Saints defense that let Kyler Murray run for 30 yards in a game this season, Joe Burrow scamper for 25 yards and a touchdown, and Marcus Mariota run wild for 72 yards and a score on the ground. Jackson has arguably the highest ceiling of any player in the Saints vs. Ravens DFS player pool.
McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who is coming off 62 rushing yards, 96 receiving yards and three total touchdowns last week. Kamara leads all players in scrimmage yards (581) over the last four weeks.
One of Kamara's biggest strengths is his effectiveness in the passing game, and that also happens to be one of Baltimore's biggest weaknesses. The Ravens have allowed the fourth-most receptions to opposing running backs and the seventh-most receiving yards to the position. The last three starting running backs the Ravens have faced have found the end zone, and they've combined to average 86.7 yards from scrimmage over those games.
