DFS millionaire Mike McClure shares his top daily Fantasy football picks for Washington Commanders vs. Atlanta Falcons on SNF
The Atlanta Falcons will try to remain atop the NFC South standings when they face the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. Atlanta turned to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. last week, benching struggling veteran Kirk Cousins. Penix completed 18 of 27 passes for 202 yards in a blowout win over the Giants, making him an intriguing NFL DFS pick this week. He is facing a Commanders’ pass defense that ranks fourth in the league in yards allowed per game, so how should you approach Penix with your SNF DFS strategy?
Washington can clinch its playoff spot with a win on Sunday or a Tampa Bay loss earlier in the day. The Commanders have scored at least 20 points in four straight games, but should you build NFL DFS stacks around their stars?

Top NFL DFS picks for Commanders vs. Falcons
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday Night Football is Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. The rookie overcame five Washington turnovers in a comeback win over Philadelphia last week. He had five touchdown passes and ran for 81 yards to stay in the overall QB1 conversation heading into this matchup.
Daniels has 3,303 passing yards and 22 touchdowns to go along with 737 rushing yards and six more scores this season. He is facing an Atlanta defense that has allowed 28 touchdown passes this season, which is tied for the sixth most in the league. The Falcons have allowed more than 25 points per game on the road, so this is an outstanding matchup for Daniels. See who else to roster here.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. He continues to excel during his sophomore season, eclipsing the 100-yard mark nine times in his last 10 games. Robinson had 94 rushing yards, nine receiving yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win over the Giants last week.
He leads the Falcons with 1,196 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns this season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Robinson adds DFS value with 56 receptions for 420 yards and another score, and his versatility makes him a strong pick again this week. The Falcons also have a rookie quarterback making just his second start, so they can help Penix settle in by giving Robinson a heavy workload. See who else to roster here.
