NFL Fantasy Picks: Best Starts, Sits & Value Plays — 2026-06-26

Welcome back to SportsPulse.com's DFS Edge! After last week's slate, we're honed in on the key plays for DraftKings and FanDuel. It’s crucial to find the right balance of high-floor studs, undervalued gems, and contrarian plays to take down those tournaments. Let's dive into Week X with some actionable picks.

Top 3 Players to START This Week:

1. Jalen Hurts (QB, Philadelphia Eagles): Hurts is coming off back-to-back 25+ fantasy point performances and faces a struggling Commanders pass defense that ranks 28th against QBs. His rushing floor is elite, averaging 50+ yards and a touchdown per game in his last three, perfectly complementing his aerial prowess. This matchup screams another dominant outing. 2. Christian McCaffrey (RB, San Francisco 49ers): CMC is simply matchup-proof. He's seen 20+ touches in his last four games, including 7+ targets per game, securing his elite floor. While the Rams run defense isn't terrible, McCaffrey's involvement in both the run and pass game (120+ scrimmage yards in three of his last four) guarantees massive volume and upside. Lock him in. 3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, Detroit Lions): The "Sun God" is scorching hot, with 10+ targets and 90+ yards in his last two outings. This week, he draws a Vikings secondary that has been particularly vulnerable to slot receivers, allowing the 5th most fantasy points to the position. Expect another target-heavy performance
