NFL DFS, Giants vs. Commanders: Top daily Fantasy picks, lineup advice for 'Thursday Night Football'

The first Week 10 NFL DFS contests you can enter revolve around the 'Thursday Night Football' matchup of the New York Giants hosting the Washington Commanders (+2.5, 41) at 8:15 p.m. ET. Quarterbacks of the 2024 draft class in Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy loom as viable NFL DFS picks as do wideouts such as Malik Nabers and Stefon Diggs. Both teams have dealt with various injuries to their running backs, though Cam Skattebo is slated to return, but going all-in on the passing game could be an option with your daily Fantasy football strategy.

When these teams played to a 27-27 tie last month, the tight ends combined for 190 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. So, Isaiah Likely and Chig Okonkwo should be on your radar, with Theo Johnson a potential sleeper pick from the 'Thursday Night Football' DFS player pool. Other low-cost but potentially high reward players include Treylon Burks, Austin Ekeler and Devin Singletary.

Top NFL DFS picks for Commanders vs. Giants

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for 'Thursday Night Football' is Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, who dazzled with his legs last month versus the Giants. Daniels rushed for 103 yards and 2 touchdowns in what was his first game back from his elbow injury. New York is also vulnerable through the air as it pressures quarterbacks at the lowest rate in the league. Just six teams have allowed more passing touchdowns than New York, and only four teams have given up more Fantasy points to quarterbacks.

McClure's also building around Giants tight end Isaiah Likely, who has already set or tied career highs in receptions (46) and touchdowns (6) as he's the TE3 in PPR leagues this season. Likely had a career day versus Washington in Week 5, posting a stat line of 11-94-2 and then followed that up with a 99-yard outing in his next game. The former Raven had 5 grabs for 53 yards and 1 touchdown last Sunday and is facing the ideal defense to continue his run of success. Washington has allowed the second-most Fantasy points to tight ends this season and has given up 14 TDs to the position over the last 13 games dating back to 2025.
