NFL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel is back, with a full slate of games over the next several days. The RotoGrinders team is excited to produce picks, previews, NFL player projections, and NFL DFS optimizer tools once again for our favorite daily fantasy sport.

Kyle Murray and Chris Gimino have a combined experience in NFL Preseason DFS, College Football DFS, and the NFL Draft process that is matched by few others, and they will be leading our team to bring you their top selections, broken down into tiers. Our NFL experts track all of the depth charts and injury reports in addition to any actionable information shared by coaches and beat writers to help guide their selections and DFS picks.

We have a smaller 2-game slate on our hands for the first slate of the week and the first multi-game slate of the preseason. We have the full roster to fill out this time, compared to last week’s Hall of Fame Game slate, which was a Showdown contest. That means no kickers this time, and now we also have to roster a tight end. Our chart of tiered plays will help you analyze the slate and find the best plays at each position.
