· CBS Sports

The 2024 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend schedule is loaded with exciting NFL matchups, creating a massive NFL DFS player pool. Star quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Allen are all in action this weekend, making it difficult to narrow down the top NFL DFS picks at each position. Cold weather is expected at several games this weekend, while several will be played indoors. Which players should you include in your NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks during Super Wild Card Weekend? Before making any NFL DFS picks for Super Wild Card Weekend on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs.

Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years, posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past few seasons, according to Fantasy Pros. 

Now, Gibbs has turned his attention to Super Wild Card Weekend and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Super Wild Card Weekend

One player Gibbs is especially high on for Saturday's slate: Texans wide receiver Nico Collins ($7,000 on DraftKings, $8,300 on FanDuel). The third-year wideout has gone over 100 receiving yards five times this season, three of those coming in the last six weeks. Houston was without its next three wide receivers in the pecking order due to injuries last week against Indianapolis, leaving Collins as the only real threat besides tight end Dalton Schultz. The Texans will need Collins to have another big game on Saturday, making him one of the top NFL DFS picks for Super Wild Card Weekend.

On Sunday, Gibbs is expecting big things from another rookie, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua ($7,200 on DraftKings, $8,000 on FanDuel). Nacua has doubled up teammate Cooper Kupp for the team lead in receiving yards this season, catching 105 passes for a whopping 1,486 yards. He went over 110 receiving yards in back-to-back games against the Saints and Giants at the end of December before catching a touchdown against the 49ers last week. 

This game has the highest betting total of any game during Super Wild Card Weekend, so oddsmakers are expecting a shootout on Sunday Night Football. Nacua will be the key for Los Angeles in this matchup, especially since Detroit's defense ranks No. 27 in the NFL against the pass. The Lions gave up 192 receiving yards to Minnesota's Justin Jefferson last week, and Nacua could put up similar numbers this week. See the rest of Gibbs' NFL DFS picks here.
