Mike McClure's top NFL DFS picks for 2026 divisional-round Sunday

Cbssports reports SportsLine DFS expert Mike McClure has locked in his top daily fantasy picks for the 2026 NFL divisional round Sunday, which features the Houston Texans at the New England Patriots at 3 p.m. ET and the Los Angeles Rams at the Chicago Bears at 6:30 p.m. ET. Weather could be a factor in the late game, with wind chill in the single digits and wind and snow both in the forecast, a consideration McClure notes when crafting DFS lineups.

McClure is described as a legendary professional with more than $2 million in career winnings who uses a prediction model that simulates every snap and accounts for matchups, statistical trends and injuries; his methodology has led to large cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings, and in 2023 he finished tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once.

Among McClure's top picks for Sunday are Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs — who had a quiet game in a low-scoring wild-card win over the Chargers but posted strong late-regular-season lines including a 9-138 receiving line against the Ravens in Week 17 and a 6-101-1 line against the Jets in Week 17, and who previously played for the Texans in 2024 — and Rams tight end Tyler Higbee, a value pick after finishing the regular season strong and recording 45 receiving yards in the wild-card round; Higbee had five receptions for 91 yards and a score against the Cardinals in the regular-season finale.
