DraftKings Week 1 Preseason DFS

The preseason kicks off on Thursday night with a six game slate. This is an entirely different animal than the regular season games as it involves much more research. In the preseason, most of the starters play limited time or might not play at all. The second and third stringers are the ones getting most of the play time. Some of these players are essentially playing for a job, so how they perform is very important. One of the things I suggest is to read a lot of work from team’s beat writers. These are the people that know these teams very well and are keeping tabs on the day-to-day news. It’s also wise to know who is playing for what. For instance, a young running back can be playing for a backup role or even a starting role, so having a good preseason can be the difference between a job or being buried in the depth charts. Knowing the situations on each team will give you a huge edge during the preseason and could translate to a high ROI in the preseason.

Below I’ll breakdown one of my lineups for the exception of my flex and defense positions.

Quarterback

Chase Daniels - $5,500 – Daniels is currently the back up to Sam Bradford and could play the entire first half of Thursday night’s game. He was a backup last year for the Chiefs where Doug Pederson was the offensive coordinator. Daniels threw five touchdowns in 53 pass attempts during last year’s preseason in Pederson’s offense.

Running Back

Chase Daniels - $5,500 – Daniels is currently the back up to Sam Bradford and could play the entire first half of Thursday night’s game.
