What a disappointing start to the NFL season last night. That game was boring and I wish I went to sleep much earlier. Instead, I watched most of that game and could have skipped it and missed nothing. I was happy that my wager of the Packers +7.5 came in last night though. In this blog every Friday, I will be posting my daily fantasy sports (DFS) player pool. I am currently considering these players for my lineups for the weekend. Not all of these players will end up in my lineups, but they are on my short list. You can find some of my contrarian stacks I am thinking about here.
Quarterback
Jameis Winston – Best game environment and he will be throwing a ton.
Dak Prescott – The Giants defense is bad, they may limit Zeke in week one.
Jimmy G – Same reason as Jameis.
Jacoby Brissett – He is so cheap and should be my QB in cash on Draft Kings.
Nick Foles – Ohhh he is sneaky this week.
Cam Newton – I love Cam this week. He will be low owned and is actually healthy.
Running Back
Chris Carson – I love him this week and may play 100% of him.
Dalvin Cook – Does everyone recall that Atlanta is awful against running backs?
Leonard Fournette – I kind of really like the Jags this week.
Mark Ingraham – Is only $5.1K and gets to play the Dolphins in week one.
Christian McCaffrey – I love the Panthers too. He is whom I am spending up for this week.
Austin Ekeler – Someone has to get the MG3 Carries!
Wide Receiver
Mike Evans – This game should be fun and have lots of scoring.
Chris Godwin – How many times can I say it?
Amari Cooper – Great pivot off Zeke and gets the Giants.
Dede Westbrook – He will be highly owned, but for a reason.
Ty Hilton – Sneaky good spot against the Chargers.
Cooper Kupp – He is healthy and produces when he is.
DJ Moore – I want all the Carolina offense.
Curtis Samuel – More Panthers!
Adam Thielen – The Atlanta secondary was awful last year and he should be a PPR monster.
Tight Ends
George Kittle – THIS GAME!
Evan Engram – The Giants have to throw to someone.
OJ Howard – You can play everyone from this game.
Travis Kelce – Pricy, but worth it in this matchup.
Hunter Henry – Hello, to my cash game tight end.
Defense
Baltimore – They get Miami.
Seattle – Have you seen the Bengals offensive line?
Dallas – ELI!
NCAA Bets
In terms of college wagers, I only like three games this weekend. The key is to not force the situation and allow the games to come to you. One of these teams is my team however and well, that scares me. I am staying away from Penn State again as they could easily blow out Buffalo as we saw last week. Buffalo is better, but barely beat Robert Morris.
Pitt -4
They are playing Ohio. They were winning at half time. If they cannot score on this team it is going to be a long year.
Boise St -12
This game is Friday night and should help you start your weekend off with a win. Boise just calmly came back and beat Florida State so I think they should be able to play well in their home opener.
Ohio State -16
I watched the entire Cincinnati game last week. Despite UCLA giving them the game multiple times, the Bearcats could not really open the game up. This is a bad sign heading into this week.
