NFL DFS DraftKings GPP Plays: Week 1

Week 1

It is finally here! NFL has arrived and we are back at it for the first week of the 2020-21 season. This year, I will be writing an article every week to identify some of my favorite DraftKings plays for large field GPPs. I will look to focus on players with upside that project to be lower owned and set up nicely for DK scoring. This article will focus strictly on the DraftKings main slate.

We find ourselves in a unique Week 1 situation as we do not have our typical training camp or preseason games to work off of. The first week of the season is historically a great time to go contrarian in tournaments due to the general lack of information. That strategy becomes even more appealing this week, as we have more unknowns than ever following this offseason. All in all, this is a great week for tournaments and there are a ton of different options for us in the DraftKings lobby. Let’s dive in to some of my favorite plays!
