If you are looking for DraftKings NFL fantasy football picks, you came to the right place! This post will cover QB picks only, so check out my other post for the full DraftKings NFL lineup.
NFL week 1 QB Picks and Sleepers
I am not going to pick Rodgers, Luck, Manning in posts like these. This post is to attempt to find great values, sleeper picks, and long shots that could score big for the week. The key early in the season is to play the match-ups (obviously). But that can be harder than what you think since many things change during the first few weeks of the season.
For week 1 I see quite a few good value plays.
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Projections |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Matthew Stafford | Detroit | 7000 | Sure, he was a bit down last year, but him and Megatron will not take another year like last. At 7000, he is a good pick against the chargers. 280 yds and 2 TD. |
| QB | Kirk Cousins | Washington | 5000 | A QB for 5000? Amazing and he is starting. If he could just put a decent game together the extra value will allow you to load up on running backs. 240 yds & 1TD. |
| QB | Carson Palmer | Arizona | 6500 | Arizona should (better) score more points than last year. What better way than to start at home against the Saints. 300 yds 2 TD. |
| QB | Ryan Tannehill | Miami | 7400 | Not a great bargain, but the Redskins have a terrible defense. I doubt they improved from last place overnight. |
| QB | Jay Cutler | Bears | 6800 | Will he finally prove everyone wrong? Sure he has some good games, but always disappoints. At home against GB he should at least put up some stats for us. |
The first week is a good learning experience. Be sure to use it, but do not value fluke games by average football players.
Stay tuned.
