Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season continues with a great Monday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for Monday Night Football.
Amon-Ra St. Brown More than 0.5 Rush + Receiving Touchdowns
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a touchdown machine over the past three seasons. Since the start of the 2023-24 season, St. Brown is tied with Ja’Marr Chase for the NFL lead in receiving touchdowns. He had a sensational game last week against the Bears, catching nine balls for 115 yards and three touchdowns. In this game against the Ravens, the Lions will need to be aggressive on offense. The Ravens will score points, as they always do. The Lions will need to throw against the Ravens if they want any chance, which means Jared Goff will be looking to Amon-Ra St. Brown. These teams played back in 2023, and St. Brown had an incredible 19 targets. Goff should look for his main man just as much on Monday night, giving St. Brown a great chance to score a touchdown.
Lamar Jackson More Than 1.5 Passing TDs
Lamar Jackson has been playing the quarterback position at an unreal level over the past several seasons. He has been an unstoppable force, which is why the Ravens rank second in the NFL in offensive EPA/play. Last season, Jackson threw for 41 touchdowns, an average of 2.4 per game, the second-most in the NFL. Jackson has already started this season throwing for touchdowns, tossing two against the Bills and four against the Browns. He should keep that streak going and throw for at least two against the Lions. The Detroit secondary has been poor to start the season, ranking 20th in defensive EPA/dropback. Caleb Williams and Jordan Love both threw for two touchdowns against the Lions already this season, and Jackson should as well.
Jahmyr Gibbs More Than 57.5 Rushing Yards
The Lions need a big game from Jahmyr Gibbs if they want to upset the Ravens. Gibbs is a member of the best running back duo in the NFL, Sonic and Knuckles, along with David Montgomery. However, Gibbs has established himself as the clear lead back over the past two seasons. Gibbs finished fifth in the NFL in rushing yards last season, averaging 83.1 yards per game. The entire Detroit offense got dominated in Week 1, but Gibbs bounced back in Week 2. He had 94 rushing yards in Detroit’s win over the Bears. The Ravens rank 24th in defensive EPA/rush and 28th in defensive rushing success rate this season. The Bills were able to gash them on the ground in Week 1, and the Lions will try to do the same. The more the Lions run the ball, the less time the ball is in Lamar Jackson’s hands. Gibbs should get over this number on Monday night.
