NFL DFS, 2022 Super Bowl: Best DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks, lineups for Rams vs. Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will enter Super Bowl 56 on Sunday relatively healthy, with the exception of one position. Both teams lost their starting tight ends to knee injuries on Championship Sunday, and each is in a race to be ready for the Big Game. C.J. Uzomah of the Bengals and Tyler Higbee of the Rams weren’t major focal points of their respective offenses, but their potential absences could have a trickle-down effect for other players. One or both missing the 2022 Super Bowl would also allow unsung players at the position to creep into your NFL DFS strategy. Can you trust any of the backups in your NFL DFS lineups?

Perhaps a player like Rams tight end Kendall Blanton can factor into your Super Bowl DFS strategy after his performances over the last two games. He posted a 5-57 stat line against the 49ers after scoring his first career touchdown the prior week. There have been seven touchdowns by tight ends over the last five Super Bowls. Before making your NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 56 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with almost $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1 percent in more than a dozen other tournaments last season.

He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best NFL DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Super Bowl LVI and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for 2022 Super Bowl

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl LVI is Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase. The talented rookie has looked like a sage veteran in his first NFL postseason, as he started off with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games before posting a 6-54-1 stat line in the AFC Championship Game. Not counting Week 18 in which he played just five snaps, Chase has averaged 7.6 receptions, 139.6 scrimmage yards and 0.8 TDs over his last five games.

The Rams struggled against the pass all season, allowing the fourth-most receiving yards and the seventh-most Fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Across the regular season and 2022 NFL playoffs, 14 wide receivers had at least 90 yards against L.A., including Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans over the last two games. Chase has ravaged far better defenses than what the Rams possess this year, and he’s in line for another stellar performance in Super Bowl 56.

Another part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy includes rostering Rams receiver Cooper Kupp. He is perhaps the biggest no-brainer of all when it comes to assembling NFL DFS lineups for the big game. After chasing the league record for most receiving yards in a single season this year, Kupp is one of the top contenders to finish as the 2022 Super Bowl MVP. The numbers it would take for him to do that would also certainly translate into a mammoth Fantasy performance.

Kupp has been on the field for every one of the Rams’ offensive snaps in the 2022 NFL playoffs and has caught 20 of his 25 targets over Los Angeles’ last two games. He’s bested Edelman’s MVP numbers in both games and scored three total touchdowns. Kupp’s routes run in the NFC Championship game finished comparably to Tennessee’s A.J. Brown in the Bengals’ divisional round win, where Brown finished with five receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown.
