Top NFL DFS picks, lineups, stacks for Bengals vs. Steelers

One of Kaylor’s top DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The four-time NFL MVP has been efficient in his first season with the Steelers. Through six weeks, Rodgers has guided the Steelers to a 4-1 overall record, while throwing for 1,021 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions, which is good for a 105.4 passer rating.

Rodgers is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history, with over 63,973 career passing yards, more than 513 touchdown passes, and one of the highest career passer ratings of all-time. The former Cal standout is a 10-time Pro Bowler and owns a career touchdown:interception ratio of 4.4:1, which is a NFL record. See who else to roster right here.

Part of Kaylor’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. The four-time Pro Bowl selection continued to solidify his status as an elite receiver in 2024, hauling in 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns while capturing the NFL’s receiving “Triple Crown.” That season also earned him First-Team All-Pro honors and another Pro Bowl selection. 

Through the early portion of the 2025 season, he’s recorded 42 receptions for 468 yards and four touchdowns in six games, averaging about 11.1 yards per catch. In his first game with quarterback Joe Flacco, Chase caught 10 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 6. Over the course of his young career, Chase has already been selected to the Pro Bowl every season since entering the league and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2021. You can see the rest of Kaylor’s NFL DFS picks here.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most dominant team of the decade, and the numbers prove it

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are like the rock stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), two teams with a history so big it's hard to top. Since moving from Brooklyn to LA in 1958, the Dodgers have been a force to reckon with, and now in 2025, they're gearing up for their 23rd World Series (26th pennants)-trailing only the Yankees' whopping 41 appearances, according to MLB.com. That's a pretty cool stat, showing they've been in the game for the long haul, racking up eight World Series wins, with their first coming back in 1955 as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tonight, they're bringing that old-school vibe into a modern era, hitting their fifth World Series in the last nine years-all during the Wild Card era that kicked off in 1994, per ESPN.

4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers

Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said. "I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSchneider then called out Mariners fans who booed after Springer rose to his feet and tried to stay in the game.
