The first full main slate arrives for NFL DFS players on Sunday as a dozen Week 1 games will kick off between 1 p.m. ET and 4:25 p.m. ET. Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Bijan Robinson, Josh Allen and Jahmyr Gibbs are just some of the big names in the NFL DFS player pool. Anchoring NFL DFS lineups with a couple big names like those is generally a good plan, but the salary cap structure makes is so that you'll need to find some daily Fantasy sleepers as well.
That might mean picking some lesser-known players from the projected high-scoring matchups, or it could mean rolling the dice with some players in a projected lower-scoring game like Titans vs. Jets or Browns vs. Jaguars. Before making Week 1 NFL DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to picks. .
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes a receiver on the other side of that matchup: Emeka Egbuka of the Bucs, who is $6,200 on DraftKings and $6,400 on FanDuel. Mike Evans is now with the Niners and Chris Godwin is coming off back-to-back injury-plagued campaigns. That leaves Egbuka as the top target for Baker Mayfield as he looks to build on a big rookie campaign where he caught 63 passes for 938 yards and six touchdowns. .
So who is Mike McClure including in his optimal NFL DFS lineups for Week 1 Sunday, and which under-the-radar player offers huge value?
