NFL PRESEASON DFS:
Only DFS degenerates play NFL Preseason DFS, right? Probably…but there is reason for you to join them this year. When people were scoffing at the idea of playing WNBA DFS “if there’s money to be made, you know we’re playing” and the NFL Preseason will be no different. So, if you are reading this, you already have an edge over most DFS players!
One main reason to play NFL Preseason, you’ll get a chance to re-familiarize yourself with the NFL DFS game. Also, it’s a fun and great way to build a bankroll cushion. On DraftKings the last 2 NFL Preseasons, I played $41.25 of entry fees and won $306.00, which gave me a great bankroll for the NFL season.

Minnesota:
QB: Kirk Cousins is expected to play a couple of series at most. Trevor Siemian, Kyle Sloter to split the rest of the snaps. Both have a revenge narrative if that’s your thing.
RB: Mack Brown and Mike Boone will see the bulk of the carries tonight. Boone is more of PPR guy if you need to pick one.
WR: Laquon Treadwell is deep in the depth chart but the Vikings will still be running him tonight. After that, its journey man Kendall Wright and if he plays, Brandon Zylstra are the only interest here.
TE: Rudolph will be in one series. Rookie Conklin is a 5th rounder than should get most of the reps after Morgan.
Denver:
QB: Case Keenum is going to play two series max. He’s going to hyped since he’s playing the team that didn’t want him. Paxton Lynch will run the 2nd unit to play into the 3rd Q. After that’s it’s Chad Kelly will get the rest. Kelly has a big arm and pedigree but he’s best know for trying to slide into a porn star’s DMs. And she blasted him for it. Despite all that, he’s the best option for Denver tonight.
RB: Devontae Booker and Royce Freeman will take care the ball the first two series. Every RB will play according to Joseph. Last year, De Angelo Henderson busted on the scene, and now he’s the #3RB and should get some run into the 2nd half. From there’s it’s Phillip Lindsay and Dave Williams to finish up.
WR: Only two that come up for consideration for this receiving corps: Desean Hamilton and River Cracraft. Both have shined in camp and I’d expect them on the field with Kelly if you like that QB-WR combo.
TE: Roughly a quarter for Jake Butt with the starters. The TE1 Jeff Heuerman is OUT. Lacrosse and Traytor will be on the field the most.
Before we move to the Ravens squad, I want to take a minute and show you our proprietary research tool….The Research Station. Loaded with all your stats, salaries, trends, projections, and more this tool gives you an advantage no one in the industry possesses. Add that with our Domination Station Optimizer (test drive the tutorial) and you can hone in on key plays that put you in the winner’s circle. We are undergoing some additions currently but will have it fully functional by Week 1 of the regular season. However, I thought you’d love to see a screenshot of what this bad boy is going to look like!!
LA Chargers:
QB: Rivers will play a series. The Chargers first unofficial depth chart, had Geno Smith and Cardale Jones as their No. 2 quarterbacks. Jones has a year under his belt with the playbook. He should be a nice option tonight. But there’s an UDFA Nic Shimonek that should see 4th quarter snaps.
RB: Melvin Gordon will get a few snaps, and Austin Ekeler broke out last season and has a firm grip on #2RB. Newsome and Hansbrough should get the bulk of the carries tonight. Hansbrough is getting the love from the beat reporters for what its worth.
WR: Dylan Cantrell is OUT. Mike Williams will be popular name, but the beat reporters are saying he won’t get many snaps this game. Artavis Scott is player who has reportedly shined during camp. There’s a definite competition for the final spots at receiver with guys.
TE: Hunter Henry is lost for the season, the TE spot is wide open. Virgil Green is the man now, but he’s not a typical TE for this role. Next you have Sean Culkin, Braedon Bowman, and two undrafted rookies in Ben Johnson and Cole Hunt. Green is the only one that has a single career catch. Yikes.
Arizona:
QB: Sam Bradford is unlikely to see much action, so it’s No. 10 overall pick Josh Rosen, Mike Glennon and Chad Kanoff. Though Rosen won’t be throwing to Fitz or DJ, he will get a lot of game time in with fellow rookies Christian Kirk and Chase Edmonds. Problem here is there is 4 QBs and they will all get snaps, Rosen the most.
RB: DJ is healthy and will be in a series. Then backups Chase Edmonds, T.J. Logan, DJ Foster. Logan is an interesting play. He’s a shifty back with speed. Camp darling is Chase Edmonds, who is slated as DJs back up will be highly owned but has a nice floor in cash games. Foster has been successful with the Pats during preseason. All can be considered.
WR: Brice Butler got the nod as the No. 2 wide receiver in the team’s first depth chart, but Chad Williams, Christian Kirk, Greg Little and J.J. Nelson will compete for the starting role. An UDFA Jalen Tolliver was a DIV II stud and has a chance to make the team with a good preseason, so he might get some run late. Kirk and Little will be the higher own and should get reps with Rosen.
TE: Arizona hasn’t really ever had a great fantasy TE. This game, according to beat reports, they want to focus on blocking. You don’t get points for that.
