The 2026 NFL Kickoff Game features a thrilling matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on Wednesday, September 9, at 8:20 p.m. ET. As daily Fantasy football enthusiasts prepare their lineups, many names from Super Bowl 60 re-emerge, including Sam Darnold, Drake Maye, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and TreVeyon Henderson.

New faces also join the mix, with A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, and Jadarian Price aiming to make significant impacts. It's crucial for players to consider undervalued options, as they can be pivotal in achieving success. Notably, Mack Hollins and AJ Barner, who scored touchdowns in last year's Big Game, may offer great value in this matchup.

Daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure from SportsLine has provided insights and strategies for this matchup. With over $2 million in career winnings, he utilizes a sophisticated prediction model that analyzes matchups, trends, and injuries to identify top DFS values. In 2023, he notably tied for first in both the DraftKings Millionaire Maker and FanDuel Million.

Among McClure's top picks is A.J. Brown, the three-time Pro Bowler, who previously made impressive debuts with his former teams. Despite the Seahawks having the top scoring defense last year, they struggled against opposing wide receivers, making Brown a solid choice for DFS lineups.

Another key selection is Jadarian Price, the Seahawks' running back. With Kenneth Walker III moving to Kansas City, Price is set to take on a significant workload, especially with Zach Charbonnet doubtful for Week 1. Price, a first-round pick, excelled at Notre Dame, and he faces a Patriots defense that allowed the sixth-most Fantasy points to running backs last season.

McClure also highlights another undervalued player, which could be crucial for success in cash games and tournaments. For those looking to maximize their DFS potential, McClure's full analysis and picks are exclusively available at SportsLine.
