The Week 6 NFL schedule concludes with 'Monday Night Football' as the Washington Commanders make the cross-country trip to take on the San Francisco 49ers at 8:15 p.m. ET. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders will be tested by the NFL's fourth-ranked defense in terms of total yardage and scoring. Still, the total for this matchup is 52, so daily Fantasy players can still expect a decent amount of offense. Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) are among the DFS-relevant players with the questionable tag. Washington running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was ruled out for this game over the weekend and went on IR on Monday.

Top NFL DFS picks for 'Monday Night Football'
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for 49ers vs. Commanders on 'MNF' is McCaffrey. McCaffrey remains one of the elite NFL DFS producers because of his ability to make any impact in the running and passing games. He's had at least 14 touches in every game this year with an average of 16 per contest. He's still the clear lead back near the goal line as he has five touchdown runs over the past four weeks. Game flow could work in his favor as well with the Niners favored by 7.5 points and potentially needing to run clock late.
McClure's also building around Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo. The 2026 free-agent addition was injured in Week 1 and then missed the next two weeks. Now fully healthy, he's looking like the TE1 they signed him to be. He had four catches for 60 yards against the Giants last week. With the Commanders dealing with some injuries in their skill positions and potentially playing from behind in this one, Okonkwo is a strong addition at a a lower price point despite the challenging matchup.
