The 2021 NFL season is upon us. Everyone rejoice! This weekly DFS article will focus on Guaranteed Prize Pool (GPP) recommendations for the full NFL slate, including all of the primetime matchups. It will include some stacking opportunities and one-off plays to consider for your GPP lineups.
Week 1 features five games with a Vegas total of 50 or more points, which gives us a wide range of strong stacking options. The opening week also typically provides some inefficiencies in pricing on DFS sites to exploit. Without any further ado, let’s get to the GPP tournament options for Week 1.
