by Thursday Night Football features the Denver Broncos hosting the Indianapolis Colts, and both teams will be without their starting quarterbacks. Javonte Williams (knee) is already out for the season, while leading rusher Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is out for the Colts. So there should be opportunities for NFL DFS owners to find hidden gems in the Broncos vs. Colts NFL DFS player pool. Melvin Gordon and Nyheim Hines could be targets for Denver and Indianapolis, respectively, but both teams would need more than a single run to put the game away.
Mike Boone had a 29-yarder in Week 4 when Williams was out. Which running backs should maneuver your NFL DFS lineups for Colts vs. Broncos?

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Broncos vs. You can only see his picks and analysis on SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Colts vs. Broncos
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Thursday Night Football is Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton. The lanky wideout scored his first touchdown last week as part of a 5-52-1 stat line. His first three games have seen him average 97 receiving yards per contest and he leads or is tied for the lead among Broncos receivers in targets per game.
During the preseason, there was debate over whether Sutton or Jerry Jeudy would be Denver’s No. 1 receiver, but that debate is clearly over. Sutton has twice as many catches and nearly twice as many receiving yards as Jeudy. With Javonte Williams out for the year, the Broncos may lean more heavily on the pass rush, and Sutton has established himself as the leader of the aerial brigade.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who has yet to hit his stride under new head coach Nathaniel Hackett but had a productive game in last week’s loss to Las Vegas . Against the Raiders, Wilson completed 68 percent of his passes and finished with three total touchdowns. For the season, he has thrown for 980 yards with four touchdowns to just one interception.
Wilson wasn’t credited with a single bad shot last week against the Raiders, and for the season, he’s shooting a poor 13.5 percent, down from last season’s 18.6 overall mark. You can see the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS tips here.
