The 2023 XFL season is underway and Week 2 will begin on Thursday with a showdown between the St. Louis Battlehawks and Seattle Sea Dragons. The Battlehawks managed a win in their opener against the San Antonio Brahmas with AJ McCarron throwing for a pair of late touchdowns to finish off an epic comeback. Meanwhile, the Sea Dragons suffered a 22-18 defeat on the road against the DC Defenders but Josh Gordon had a big day with six catches for 74 yards and a score. Gordon and McCarron are sure to be popular options for Thursday XFL DFS lineups but who else should you be targeting? Be sure to see R.J. White's XFL DFS strategy before you make any XFL DFS picks.

White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks during the 2022 NFL season, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors.
