Week 1 of NFL DFS action is in the books. It was an…interesting slate that showcased how diving deep for value is important to the success and how variance can be such a big factor. There were plenty of disappointments to be had and a lot more scoring from players not typically shoveled into lineups. Now, with a week of seasonal data to sift through, we forge ahead.
As we build our core lineups for Week 2, let’s discuss some values at each position on both DraftKings and FanDuel.
Quarterbacks
DraftKings
Carson Wentz (QB – WAS) $5,800 vs. DET
OK, we can all admit this one feels kind of gross. However, there is a method to this madness. Wentz finished Week 1 as the QB3 overall, behind only Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. DraftKings is convinced that this is merely an anomaly, and we have all seen enough of Wentz over the last few seasons to be rightfully hesitant to lock him into a lineup. All of this is true.
