DFS millionaire Mike McClure shares his top daily Fantasy picks and advice for Buccaneers vs. Bears on 'Sunday Night Football'

Nov 8, 2026 at 1:04 pm ET • 3 min read

A pair of NFC squads will meet in Week 9 of 'Sunday Night Football' as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Chicago Bears at 8:20 p.m. ET. Caleb Williams and D'Andre Swift are coming off an impressive showing in a win over Seattle on 'MNF', making them an attractive NFL DFS stack. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield didn't complete a single pass in a downpour win over Atlanta. So, are Mayfield, Chris Godwin and all Bucs' pass catchers ones to avoid with SNF DFS picks?

While skill players get most of the attention with daily Fantasy football lineups, one shouldn't overlook each team's respective kicker. Chicago's Cairo Santos leads the NFL in extra points made, while Tampa's Chase McLaughlin tops the league in both made field goals and total points. Low-cost options like these in the NFL DFS player pool are essential to constructing a winning lineup. Before making any Bucs vs. Bears DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to 'Sunday Night Football' and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Bears vs. Bucs

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for 'Sunday Night Football' is Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams. Since returning from his hamstring injury, Williams has been nearly flawless over three games. He's completing 74% of his passes, averaging 286.7 passing yards and thrown for four touchdowns with zero turnovers. He's facing a Bucs defense which controls the trenches with the No. 2 run defense. Thus, look for Chicago to lean on the pass versus a Tampa defense which struggles to generate pressure as no team has a lower QB knockdown rate than the Buccaneers.

McClure's also building around Tampa running back Bucky Irving, who has averaged 121.8 rushing yards over the last four games while scoring five touchdowns over this span. The Bucs have 62 passing yards, total, over their last two games as they're all in on the ground game, with 49 rush attempts in Week 7 and 56 in Week 8. Irving is the main benefactor of this approach and gets to face a Bears team a bit susceptible to the run. Chicago is allowing 4.4 yards per carry, which is the 11th highest in the NFL. See who else to roster at SportsLine.
