NFL Week 1 DFS Value Plays: Targets & Advice (2022)

NFL Week 1 DFS Value Plays: Targets & Advice (2022)

Take a deep breath. We have made it back to football, and with that return, both seasonal and DFS contests. This is the best time of year.

This weekly series aims to identify some of the best values at each position for both DraftKings and FanDuel. Keep in mind, value does not always mean the lowest price, but the best return for the cost.

Happy kickoff weekend. Let’s ride.

Quarterback

DraftKings

Jameis Winston (NO) $5300 vs. ATL

This may seem gross at first and is not intended to be a cash-game play, but Jameis Winston has a lot going for him this week. Namely, a Week 1 tilt against an Atlanta defense that ranked 29th in pass defense and 28th in run defense last season. That defense was so bad, it’s rumored that the 1994 Mighty Ducks could have flying-V’ed their way to victory against the Falcons.

He has the best set of weapons he has had since landing in New Orleans. Michael Thomas is returning and expected to start Week 1, they picked up Jarvis Landry in free agency, and they also drafted talented rookie Chris Olave. Not to mention the versatile Alvin Kamara in the backfield.
