Top NFL DFS picks, lineups, stacks for Monday Night Football

One of Kaylor's top DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. The former Oregon standout continues to establish himself as one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks. At 6-6 and 236 pounds, he pairs rare arm strength with impressive mobility for his size, allowing him to make throws from multiple platforms. In Week 1 of 2025 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert completed 25 of 34 passes for 318 yards and 3 touchdowns, leading the Chargers to a 27–21 victory and showing his ability to perform in high-pressure matchups. 

Over the 2024 season, he passed for 3,870 yards with 23 touchdowns and just three interceptions, finishing with a passer rating of 101.7 over 17 games. For his career, Herbert has accumulated 21,411 passing yards and 140 touchdowns, maintaining a career passer rating of 97.1, reflecting both consistency and elite production.

Part of Kaylor's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving. The second-year pro showcased his versatility and playmaking ability as a rookie for the Buccaneers in 2024. At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, he combines compact size with excellent burst, lateral agility, and vision, allowing him to navigate tight spaces and make defenders miss. In his first NFL season, Irving carried the ball 207 times for 1,122 rushing yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry, and scored eight rushing touchdowns, while adding 47 receptions for 392 receiving yards. 

Irving became the first Buccaneers rookie since Doug Martin in 2012 to surpass 1,000 rushing yards. In the 2025 season opener against the Falcons, he recorded 14 carries for 37 yards and four receptions for eight yards, including a touchdown, showing continued involvement in both the run and passing game.
