Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 2 – 9/17/17

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 2 - 9/17/17 Ah, Week 2 in the NFL: the time where we take everything we saw in Week 1 and completely overreact to it. Week 1 was a equal parts boring and unpredictable with much of the chalk showing up as non-existent and some weird outlier performances that folks will likely put too much weight on. It’s always good to take the first week in the NFL with a relative grain of salt and work to separate the signal from the noise. That can be a difficult proposition.

The Falcons allowed 301 total yards of offense to the Bears in Week 1 and the Packers’ O is degrees better than that group. Rodgers is expensive but I think you realize enough savings at the other positions to warrant it this week. Russell Wilson FD 8100 DK 6800 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 21.63 DK - 22.39 Wilson is a big time candidate for a bounce back week this time around after struggling against the Packers on Sunday.
