FantasyDraft NFL: Week 1 DFS picks

Football is finally back! Welcome to the Week 1 version of FantasyDraft NFL DFS picks. Throughout this article, I will be breaking down the pricing on FantasyDraft. Week 1 in the NFL is always a question mark. We have seen almost nothing throughout the preseason as many of the starters didn’t even see the field. If there is ever a time to win a large-field GPP, Week 1 is it. Everyone is on a level playing field with so many questions surrounding each team.

If you have not yet signed up for FantasyDraft, this is a site with Rake Free DFS and a $20, $1M Week 1 contest, so now is the time!

The scoring on FantasyDraft is very similar to DraftKings, where it is a full point per reception. There are also bonuses awarded for 300+ passing yards and 100+ rushing/receiving yards. In terms of roster construction on FantasyDraft, there are two running backs, two wide receivers, and two flex spots. This allows a lot of flexibility as you are able to roster four running backs or four wide receivers.

When it comes to full point PPR in DFS, wide receivers become extremely important. Going with four wide receivers in this format offers a high ceiling, while also being a fairly risky build. With how involved running backs are becoming in the passing game, they offer a very safe floor. Considering where everyone is priced will be more of a selling point than what position they play.

In this article, I will feature multiple players at every position who should be considered based on FantasyDraft pricetag. If you’re looking for the full Week 1 DFS slate with the Monday night games includes, you’re in the wrong spot. This is strictly a Sunday-only breakdown, which is the primary slate on FantasyDraft. Let’s dig in!
