DraftKings NFL picks, Week 1: Best DFS fantasy football bargains
By Drew DeLuca
DraftKings Sunday Night: Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Rams
There are two ways to play this game: a Los Angeles Rams stack, or a Dallas Cowboys stack. Choose the former, and root for Jared Goff (LAR vs. DAL, $5,700) to pepper Cooper Kupp (LAR vs. DAL, $6,500) or Robert Woods (LAR vs. DAL, $6,500).
Pile on another layer with Tyler Higbee (LAR vs. DAL, $5,000), or for a budget option, choose rookie wide receiver Van Jefferson (LAR vs. DAL, $3,000). Many DFS sharks will prefer to load up on options from the other sideline, and understandably so.
Those ready to lay chalk on the Cowboys should start with quarterback Dak Prescott (DAL at LAR, $6,900) and wide receiver Michael Gallup (DAL at LAR, $,5600). Terrific add-on options can be had in the form of rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (DAL at LAR, $4,100) or tight end Blake Jarwin (DAL at LAR, $4,700).
DraftKings Monday Night: Steelers at Giants, Titans at Broncos
At long last, Ben Roethlisberger (PIT at NYG, $6,400) reunites with favorite target JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT at NYG, $6,400), and DFS players won’t want to miss the fireworks.

Running back James Conner (PIT at NYG, $6,600) looks like a great value, as do a pair of talented New York Giants receivers: Sterling Shepard (NYG vs. PIT, $5,700) and Darius Slayton (NYG vs. PIT, $4,700). Only two options from the other Monday Night are appealing: reigning rushing champion Derrick Henry (TEN at DEN, $7,800) and the Tennessee Titans Defense/Special Teams ($2,800).
