FanDuel.
QB – Josh Allen ($ 7,900) vs. NYJ RB – Christian McCaffrey ($ 10,000) vs. LV RB – Dalvin Cook ($ 8,700) vs. GB WR – Tyler Lockett ($ 6,800) at ATL WR – Stefon Diggs ($ 6,800) vs. NYJ WR – DeSean Jackson ($ 5,700) at WAS TE – Jack Doyle ($ 5,300) at JAC FLEX – Tarik Cohen ($ 5,200) at DET DST – Colts ($ 3,700) at JAC.
Im opting for a Bills stack with Allen and Diggs, and Allen is our Start of the Week for Week 1. I expect him and Diggs to have a huge game against the Jets.
I invested big for the top 2 running backs this week in McCaffrey and Cook, and both should have amazing games. While pricey, they deserve it, and I didnt wreck my group by plugging them in my lineup.
Week 1 Sleepers.
Edwards has been a star in training camp, according to reports, and this is a homecoming of sorts for the previous South Carolina standout. He benefits the most with Tyrell Williams (shoulder) being out, and Carr should like throwing to Edwards, who is a big target at 6-foot-3.
And after that theres Renfrow, who closed last season on a high note with 13 catches for 209 yards and two goals on 18 targets in his last 2 games. None of that is replicable on a constant basis, however he plainly has the very best relationship with Carr. And like Edwards, this is close to a homecoming game for the former Clemson product.
This might be one of the best offending games for the Raiders. And while Jacobs and Waller are must-start Fantasy options, do not overlook the other ability gamers in this match with the Panthers.
Im stacking Carr and Waller as stated above, and the Panthers should have a difficult time sticking with Waller this week. Going cheap at quarterback gives me the alternative of playing one high-end running back, and I anticipate Ekeler to control the Bengals in his first video game as the included rusher for the Chargers.
Mack is my 2nd running back, and I like his match versus the Jaguars. Well see how much he comes off the field for Jonathan Taylor, but Mack is worth the price in this area.
My receivers all have big-play capability in Chark, Ridley and Jackson, as well as Hilton in the flex. You desire that type of upside if youre trying to win, and these 4 guys might all have big trips..
Week 1.

While Josh Jacobs and Darren Waller are must-start alternatives in re-draft leagues, there are other gamers to target for Las Vegas in Week 1.

My receivers behind Diggs are exceptional with Lockett and Jackson, and both could have big getaways. Doyle, as specified above, should benefit from his match with the Jaguars. And Cohen should benefit with David Montgomery (groin) hurt, making him a great flex play at his cost.
Now, lets check in on the rest of the sleepers for Week 1, as well as some DFS lineup suggestions for FanDuel and DraftKings.
The FFT team breaks down essential Week 1 lineup decisions on the Fantasy Football Today podcast. Follow all our podcasts and subscribe here.
Lets start with Carr, who certainly wasnt prepared as a starting Fantasy option, however hes a good banner this week. The Panthers have a rebuilt defense, specifically in the secondary, and we could see Carr get where last season ended when he scored a minimum of 21 Fantasy points in 3 of his last four outings.
His top receivers, in order of their Fantasy worth, are Ruggs, Edwards and Renfrow. For Ruggs, he might place on a show in his NFL debut. Im hoping he leads the Las Vegas receivers in targets, and I would not be surprised if there are a few splash plays.
