Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 9200 DK 7900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 26.3 DK - 26.3 Josh Allen struggled in Week 1 against the Jets in a game that was wild literally from beginning to end. Concerns about Allen’s weak finish to last season didn’t really dissipate here with the QB going 29/41 for just 236 yards, a touchdown, and three picks. Now, that Jets defense might just be out of this world this season so we can possibly take the performance with a relative grain of salt. Here he’ll face the Raiders in what will be a decidedly softer matchup. The Bills have the highest implied total on the main slate at 28 and Allen should be in line for a major bounceback here. It’s a bit risky because of the price, but everything else lines up. Anthony Richardson FD 7500 DK 6300 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 21.84 DK - 21.84 The major concern with Anthony Richardson going into Week 1 was whether the passing could hold up enough to really give him major upside in his first game. Though he was *just* 24/37 for 223 yards, the Colts showed a willingness to let him drop back and that’s a great sign. He also got out and ran 10 times for 40 yards with the latter number seemingly on the low end for this many attempts. The Texans' defense isn’t good here and Indy is actually -1 road favorites here. The price on Richardson, on DraftKings, is still too low and he offers a fantastic cash game floor. Running Back Christian McCaffrey FD 9500 DK 8900 Opponent LARProj Points FD - 22.8 DK - 25.82 Any concern the 49ers would take is easy on CMC or manage the workload for a long season was dispelled in Week 1 when he played 85% of the snap and combined for 27 total touches (22 carries, 5 targets). These were three more than the next-closest guy (Miles Sanders-24). Now San Fran is -8 road favorites going into Los Angeles to face the Rams. The floor is just so high on CMC here and the opportunity is basically better than anyone else in the league all while being in a high-powered offense. He’s worth the salary in this spot. Travis Etienne Jr. FD 8200 DK 6900 Opponent KCProj Points FD - 17.07 DK - 19.05 Travis Etienne played a whopping...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8900 DK 8000 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 23.3 DK - 23.3 Lamar Jackson settled his contract dispute during the off-season is back leading what looks to be a top offense in the NFL season. The Ravens added new weapons through the draft and free agency while also upgrading the offensive coordinator position now that Todd Monken has the reins. It should lead to a lot of scoring from this group and they come in as -10 favorites at home against the Texans. The floor is incredibly high here for Jackson who should still have all of the same rushing floor while also adding significant upside in the passing game that we’ve only seen in fits and starts over the last few years. Of the elite group of QBs, he is priced just a tick below and is clearly right in the same tier. Sam Howell FD 7100 DK 4900 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 18.81 DK - 18.81 Sam Howell started only one game last season and it was in the final week against the Cowboys. But in that one, he showed some glimpses of why he’s seen as something of a fantasy sleeper this season. The 11-19 for 169 yards was meh, but the five rushes for 35 yards and a touchdown is where his bread could get buttered. Howell ran a ton (a ton!) in college, racking up more than 800 yards on the ground in his final season at North Carolina. And that should translate here. Plus, he draws one of the week’s best matchups against a terrible Cardinals team that might have already packed it in before the season even starts. At $4900 on DraftKings, Howell has a high floor at punt QB pricing and allows for tons of roster flexibility.   Running Back Austin Ekeler FD 9000 DK 8400 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 19.74 DK - 23.32 In 2022, Austin Ekeler was first among running backs in receiving targets (127) and sixth in overall RB usage. Oh, and he finished RB1 in DraftKings scoring as well. In Week 1, the Chargers, who have Kellen Moore now as the OC, will square off against the Dolphins in the game with (easily) the biggest total of the main slate at...

Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD 10600 DK 10900 Opponent - SEA (George Kirby) Park - SEAFD - 37.57 DK - 20.74 Despite the difficulty of the day's pitching matchups, Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees stands out as an appealing option. He'll take the mound against the Seattle Mariners, and is pound-for-pound the best pitcher on the slate. Cole has pitched 91 innings in 2023, boasting a commendable ERA of 2.75, 98 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.11. He comes up against a Mariners' lineup with a middling .692 OPS, and the opposing pitcher - George Kirby - has a less threatening ERA of 3.24. In addition, Cole's strikeout potential is immense, with an opponent's strikeout per 9 rate of 7.92. While he does carry a hefty price tag on both FanDuel ($10,600) and DraftKings ($10,900), the potential return on investment is considerable given Cole's proven dominance. Justin Verlander FD 8200 DK 7300 Opponent - HOU (Framber Valdez) Park - HOUFD - 34.73 DK - 19.19 Justin Verlander of the New York Mets has had an inconsistent 2023 season, but his alternating performance trend and favorable pricing on FanDuel ($8200) and DraftKings ($7300) make him an intriguing choice for today's slate. Despite some hiccups, Verlander has still managed to register 39 strikeouts over 45 innings of work with a 4.4 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. While he will be facing a formidable Houston lineup with a solid .712 OPS, the 9.4 strikeout per 9 rate of the Astros provides upside for Verlander's strikeout potential. Today's matchup also features opposing pitcher Framber Valdez, whose performance could provide a path to a win for Verlander. His relatively low price point on both DFS platforms could provide value if he continues to alternate with good games and earns the win. Aaron Civale FD 8400 DK 7900 Opponent - OAK (Luis Medina) Park - OAKFD - 33.57 DK - 17.68 Aaron Civale isn't necessarily known for his high strikeout rate, with only 22 punchouts in 27 innings of work this season. However, he boasts a solid ERA of 2.67, indicating his ability to limit the scoring of opposing teams. Today, he faces an Oakland Athletics lineup that carries a modest .657 OPS. Additionally, Civale has the most favorable moneyline odds at -229, the best win odds on the slate. Even though his strikeout numbers may not be stellar, his ability to control games...
