NFL DFS, 2020: TOP FANDUEL, DRAFTKINGS and MONKEY KNIFE FIGHT TOURNAMENT PICKS, ADVICE FOR NFL THANKSGIVING DFS 2020 FROM A DAILY FANTASY PRO
DFS millionaire Mike McClure shares his top NFL Thanksgiving DFS lineups for Thanksgiving Day 2020.
Before setting your NFL DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings, Monkey Knife Fight and FanDuel for the Thanksgiving Day 2020 games, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say. McClure is a predictive data engineer and pro DFS player with almost $2 million in career winnings.
He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action in every game, 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 members at SportsLine.
McClure absolutely crushed his DFS picks during the the 2019 NFL regular season, finishing as high as the top 1 percent of tournaments on DraftKings and Monkey Knife Fight returning as much as 40x return in some higher-stakes tournaments. He then continued his roll in the postseason, cashing on every single lineup he posted for the divisional round. Anyone who has been following him has seen some HUGE returns!
In Week 11, McClure had Saints quarterback Taysom Hill in his player pool for both FanDuel, Monkey Knife Fight and DraftKings: The result: Hill passed for 233 yards and rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start at QB, returning over 25 Fantasy points on both sites! Anybody who had him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
We can tell you one of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thanksgiving Day 2020 is Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Part of his optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who dominated the Patriots to the tune of over 30 points on DraftKings last week.
McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for MASSIVE numbers on Thanksgiving Day 2020! This pick 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.
