The NFL takes center stage again on Friday when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Green Bay Packers in the 2024 NFL Brazil Game. Kickoff at Corinthians Arena is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. The NFL DFS player pool is headlined by big-name players like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jordan Love, and Josh Jacobs. While each of those players will likely have a significant NFL DFS impact on Friday, history has proven that finding NFL DFS sleepers and NFL DFS values is the key to success when building NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks.
Who should be your NFL DFS core plays on Friday? Which players should you fade in your NFL DFS strategy? Before locking in any NFL DFS lineups for Packers vs. Eagles on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS lineup advice, strategy and player stacks from SportsLine NFL daily Fantasy expert Jimmie Kaylor.
Kaylor is a NFL and DFS expert for SportsLine, who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings’ NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He edged out over 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Kaylor, who cashed big all season in 2022, has covered the NFL and college football for close to a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel.
Kaylor hit on epic NFL DFS picks for SportsLine members throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons. In 2022, he was all over Travis Kelce’s four-touchdown performance against the Raiders on Monday Night Football, Kirk Cousins’ 460-yard, four-TD performance on Thanksgiving Day, and T.J. Hockenson’s 13 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15. In 2023, he hit on Ja’Marr Chase’s massive Week 5 performance (15 catches, 192 yards, three TDs), D.J. Moore’s eight catches for 230 yards and three touchdowns in Week 14, and De’Von Anchane’s breakout performance (233 total yards, four TD’s) in Week 3. Anyone who followed his picks is way up.
Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to Packers vs. Eagles in the 2024 NFL Sao Paulo Game and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Eagles vs. Packers
One of Kaylor’s top NFL DFS picks for the NFL Brazil Game 2024 is Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The 26-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, and has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in the NFL since taking over as Philadelphia’s full-time starter in 2021. His ability as a dual-threat quarterback sets him apart from other fantasy and DFS quarterbacks around the league.
In each of his three NFL seasons, Hurts has reached the double-digit mark in rushing touchdowns. In 2023, he finished second in the NFL with 15 rushing scores, and he proved to be nearly unstoppable around the goal line. When you add in the fact that he has arguably the best wide receiver duo in the NFL (A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith), it’s easy to see why Kaylor is high on Hurts’ DFS potential on Friday.
Kaylor is also targeting Packers receiver Jayden Reed in his NFL DFS picks. Reed was solid as a rookie in 2023, catching 64 passes for 793 yards and eight touchdowns. The former Michigan State standout was at his best down the stretch, and enters the season as one of the top targets in Green Bay’s explosive offense.
Reed’s development was a big reason for the success of quarterback Jordan Love to close out the season. Reed has elite speed, and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. With a full NFL season and offseason under his belt, Reed is primed to make a big jump in 2024. See who else Kaylor likes right here.
