NFL DFS: Championship Sunday injury impacts and McClure's top picks

Cbssports reports NFL DFS players face their final multi-game slate as Championship Sunday brings the AFC and NFC title games: Broncos vs. Patriots at 3 p.m. ET and Seahawks vs. Rams at 6:30 p.m. ET. Injuries loom large, with Bo Nix (ankle) out for Denver and Zach Charbonnet (ACL) out for Seattle.

The story says Denver will have a new look on offense and DFS players must decide how to value backup Jarrett Stidham and the Broncos' pass-catchers; Nix's absence could affect Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant. SportsLine expert Mike McClure — a DFS pro with more than $2 million in career winnings who uses a prediction model that simulates every snap — has locked in top picks.

McClure highlights Rams receiver Puka Nacua (season line 129-1,715-10; playoffs: 28 targets, 15 catches, 167 yards and a score through two games; three straight weeks with multiple carries; Week 16 vs. Seattle: 12 catches, 225 yards, two TDs) and Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (Charbonnet done for the year; Walker totaled 275 scrimmage yards and two scores against the Rams in their two regular-season matchups).
