The Week 9 NFL schedule features an 11-game daily fantasy sports main slate on Sunday, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET. Three games carry an over/under above 50 points: Lions vs. Dolphins, Cowboys vs. Colts, and 49ers vs. Raiders, making them popular targets for DFS roster construction.
While high-priced stars such as Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and Dak Prescott are in consideration, identifying value sleepers like Adonai Mitchell, Drew Lock, and Malachi Fields is crucial for tournament success. SportsLine daily fantasy expert Mike McClure, a professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings, has released his optimal lineups for the Sunday slate.
McClure's prediction model simulates every snap, factoring in matchups, statistical trends, and injuries. His track record includes tying for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and winning the FanDuel Million once. One of his top picks for Week 9 is Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, priced at $8,800 on FanDuel and $8,300 on DraftKings. Lamb commands a near 33% target share and has posted a 60-709-6 receiving line this season, while the Cowboys-Colts matchup is tied for the highest over/under on the slate at 51.5 points.
McClure is also building around Broncos running back Jonah Coleman, listed at $6,300 on FanDuel and $5,300 on DraftKings. With rookie RJ Harvey sidelined by a knee injury, Coleman has emerged as Denver's lead back ahead of J.K. Dobbins and draws a favorable matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
The expert has identified an additional undervalued player who could deliver a breakout performance on Sunday. Full details on McClure's complete DFS picks, rankings, stacks, and strategy are available exclusively through SportsLine.
