NFL Week One Thoughts – Four things to keep an eye on in the daily fantasy landscape

Daily NFL Fantasy Football Thoughts for FanDuel and DraftKings Heading into Week 2 Well, we made it. Another glorious NFL Sunday in the books for Week 1. There were definitely some good news/ bad news situations going on across the NFL landscape. But there is a piece of great news, we have many more months of this yet to come. Chris Raybon handled our Week one NFL picks and if you followed his advice, plus a little nudge from our system, there's a good chance you were sitting in the green by the end of Monday night. Let's look at some pieces of Week One that we can use as takeaways going forward. Out with (some) old, in with (some) new QBs Marcus Mariotta y'all. From a fantasy perspective, dude looked every bit the Heisman winner in his first game. And for those of you who, like us, played college football DFS last season, this is what we saw week in and week out. He filled it up about every Saturday for Oregon and came out of the gate with four touchdown passes in his first NFL game on only 206 total yards. The truth on these numbers lies somewhere in between. While he didn't need to throw all that often (with Tennessee curb-stomping Tampa Bay early), he was also incredibly efficient on 13/16 passing. A quarter of his yards came on the long (after the catch) touchdown to Wright. But Mariotta didn't need to do a whole lot as the game was out of hand early.

Additionally, Tyrod Taylor managed a well-balanced game for the Bills - going 14/19 from the field for 195 and a touchdown and throwing in 41 yards rushing on 9 carries as well. Somewhat like Mariotta, a quarter of Taylor's passing yards came on the first touchdown pass of the game, a 51 yarder to Percy Harvin. While the Bills won't all of a sudden turn into a crazy passing team, it's nice to see the accuracy from Taylor. That he also added 40 yards on the ground bodes well for his floor on any given week. The Bills aren't a prolific offense, but their defense should get them back on the field in a lot of situations and Taylor's first game had a lot of positive signs. Jameis Winston on the other hand? Oof. Injuries and what they could mean for week 2.  With injuries to Dez Bryant and T.Y. Hilton in week one, their backups (and a couple of...
