Top NFL DFS Picks for Jaguars vs. Saints on TNF One of Kaylor’s standout NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Jacksonville’s Travis Etienne Jr. This former first-round pick has excelled recently with back-to-back multi-touchdown games and is on track for a Pro Bowl-caliber season. With 451 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, and 21 receptions for 172 yards, Etienne is expected to handle an increased workload on TNF, especially with Trevor Lawrence’s status uncertain.
Kaylor pointed out, “With Trevor Lawrence nursing a knee injury, the volume is going to be there for Travis Etienne Jr. on Thursday night. The Saints are outstanding against the run, but Etienne has the ability to break off explosive plays every time he touches the ball. I am expecting the Jaguars to lean heavily on the 24-year-old running back, who averages 4.7 yards per touch, which should result in at least 20 touches for Etienne on Thursday night.”
Kaylor’s TNF DFS strategy also includes rostering New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara. As one of the NFL’s most dynamic backs, Kamara is a scoring threat every time he touches the ball. Although he’ll face a solid Jaguars run defense, which allows only 75.3 rushing yards per game, Kaylor anticipates a productive game for Kamara.
“Alvin Kamara has only played three games this season, but it’s clear he is going to be a focal point for the Saints going forward. The veteran Pro Bowler is averaging 66.3 rushing yards per game and has caught 23 passes for 86 yards. With the Jaguars’ strength up front, I am expecting this to be a big receiving game for Kamara,” Kaylor noted.
