QUARTERBACKS Russell Wilson FD 8500 DK 7900 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 26.12 DK - 26.96 In terms of safety, I think Russell Wilson offers about as high an implied floor as anyone on the slate. With some other quarterbacks coming into good matchups, I don't think Wilson hits as many radars as he should. But this is a great spot. Miami's coming off a season that saw them rank 29th in DVOA against the pass and while they upgraded some in the offseason they still don't look like an above average unit. Wilson's coming off a season that saw him take a nice jump in terms of consistency with the pass (68% completion rate - 3rd in the league) while also rushing for the third most of any quarterback. The Seahawks are heavy favorites coming in (-10.5, the highest of Week One) which could lend to a possible blowout. But I see Wilson hitting his floor for cash games in this one. Dak Prescott FD 5000 DK 5000 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 18.23 DK - 19.47 He'll likely be about the chalkiest quarterbacks going in Week One for a lot of different reasons, most of them correct. Because FanDuel and DraftKings released prices and contests so early, salaries were locked into place well before the preseason had completed. So when Tony Romo goes down we were able to A: have Prescott still priced as a backup and B: see that he might be a moderately competent rookie quarterback. The latter part is still a wait-and-see, and the hype train could be a little out ahead of reality. But Dak has that uncertainty built into his price. Preseason doesn't tell close to the whole story on a player, but Dak was impressive. He complete 39-50 passes (78%!) for 454 yards while also getting out and rushing for 53 yards on 7 attempts. These numbers point to a guy who could be manageable in his first ever regular season pro game....
