by The NFL’s Week 5 schedule concludes with an AFC West rivalry game between Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Chiefs are coming off an impressive win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football, while the Raiders picked up their first win of the season over Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Vegas is projecting this game as a shot with an over/under of 51.5. Does this mean Mahomes and Carr should be starting picks in your NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks? Or does it make sense to build your MNF Showdown NFL DFS strategy around another star receiver, quarterback, running back, tight end or defensive end? Travis Kelce, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs project to be classic and contested NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football.

Kaylor is an NFL and DFS expert for SportsLine who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings’ NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He bested more than 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has several five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Keillor has covered the NFL and college football for nearly a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and making his betting picks. .
In Week 1 Monday Night Football, Keillor ranked Denver wide receiver Jerry Judy as one of his top picks in the DFS Showdown, and the former Alabama star was the game’s highest-scoring fantasy player. In Week 2 of the MNF, Keillor asked for a huge night from Buffalo wide receiver Stefon Diggs and delivered 12 receptions for 148 yards and three touchdowns. In Week 3 TNF, Keylor dominated with Cleveland’s duo of Amari Cooper and Nick Chubb. In Week 3 MNF, he was all over Dallas with CeeDee Lamb, who was the leading scorer in the game. Then in Week 4 MNF, his top two picks were 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, both of whom posted huge numbers.
Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to Raiders vs. Chiefs in Week 5 of Monday Night Football and just locked down the top daily Fantasy Football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis on SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Chiefs vs. Raiders at MNF
One of Kaylor’s Monday Night Football DFS Week 5 picks is Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams. The two-time All-Pro is considered by many to be the best, most complete wide receiver in the NFL today. Through four games, Adams has been targeted 47 times, catching 26 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns. Kaylor expects this MNF matchup to be a track meet, with the Chiefs jumping out to an early lead, opening the door for a highly productive Fantasy night for the 29-year-old wide receiver.
“Adams’ connection with Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is obvious and I see the Raiders playing from behind for most of this game. This is a game where I could easily see Adams end up with 15 or more targets and quite a few garbage time stats, and I just don’t see a player in the Kansas City secondary that can run with Adams for an entire game. He’s expensive on DraftKings and FanDuel, but Adams is definitely a player I’ll put on my roster as Captain and MVP slots in multiple series,” Kaylor told SportsLine.
