As NFL Week 9 kicks off, the Jacksonville Jaguars face off against the Baltimore Ravens at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football. The absence of Lamar Jackson due to a thumb injury reshapes the NFL DFS landscape, placing Trevor Lawrence and Derrick Henry at the forefront of player selections.

Key players to consider for your NFL DFS lineups include:

• Bhayshul Tuten and Parker Washington from the Jaguars
• Zay Flowers from the Ravens

A sleeper pick to watch is Brian Thomas Jr., who recently found the end zone after struggling in previous games. If you anticipate the Ravens will struggle offensively without Jackson, consider integrating kicker Tyler Loop into your strategy, especially as the Ravens have scored only one touchdown in their last three games.

When building your roster, don’t overlook the Jaguars' No. 2 scoring defense against a Baltimore offense grappling with recent performance issues. Before finalizing your picks on platforms like FanDuel or DraftKings, consult the expert advice from Mike McClure at SportsLine, a seasoned DFS player with over $2 million in career winnings.

Top NFL DFS Picks

• Derrick Henry: The Baltimore running back has excelled against Jacksonville, averaging 129.1 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in the last ten games against them. With the Jags' defense showing vulnerability to the run, expect Baltimore to lean heavily on Henry.

• Bhayshul Tuten: Coming off a career-high game with 104 rushing yards and 55 receiving yards, Tuten is a strong candidate. He has consistently performed, with at least 87 scrimmage yards in all but one game this season.
