NFL Fantasy Picks: Best Starts, Sits & Value Plays — 2026-06-23

Welcome back to SportsPulse.com, DFS fanatics! Another exciting week of NFL action is in the books, with the Seattle Seahawks putting on a clinic against the New England Patriots, winning 29-13. That game highlighted which teams are gelling and which are struggling, giving us crucial insights for our DraftKings and FanDuel lineups. Let's cut right to the chase and get you those winning picks for the upcoming slate.

Top 3 Players to START This Week

1. Kenneth Walker III (RB - Seattle Seahawks): Walker looked fantastic against the Patriots, rushing for 63 yards and punching in a touchdown. He's the undisputed lead back in a Seattle offense that is finding its rhythm, and he gets a fantastic matchup this week against a defense known to give up chunk plays on the ground. Lock him in for high volume and scoring upside. 2. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR - Detroit Lions): The "Sun God" remains one of the most consistent target hogs in the league. He commands an elite target share, especially in the red zone, and has a knack for finding soft spots in any defense. Facing a secondary that has shown vulnerability, expect St. Brown to feast on targets and deliver a high floor with immense ceiling potential. 3. Anthony Richardson (QB - Indianapolis Colts): Richardson's rushing upside gives him an incredibly high fantasy floor, and he's showing flashes of brilliance as a passer. He faces a defense that struggles to contain mobile quarterbacks, setting him up for a huge week both through the air and on the ground. He's a true cheat code in DFS with his dual-threat ability.

1. Rhamondre Stevenson (RB - New England Patriots): The Patriots' offense looked anemic against Seattle, and Stevenson managed a meager 52 total yards with no scores. While his volume might be consistent, the overall inefficiency and lack of red zone trips for the Patriots make him a risky play against a potentially tougher defensive front this week. His scoring upside is severely limited right now. 2. George Kittle (TE - San Francisco 49ers): Kittle remains a phenomenal talent, but his target share in the potent 49ers offense can be inconsistent, often behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. He's also used heavily as a blocker. Against a stout defense that is strong against tight ends, Kittle's path to a big fantasy day is more reliant on a big play, making him a risky proposition at his salary.
