Notorious' NFL DFS Picks - Core Plays: Week 1

Want to know who you should build your NFL DFS lineups around each week? Derek “Notorious” Farnsworth, one of the most legendary daily fantasy sports players around, will focus on his core picks in this weekly in-depth feature for Premium subscribers.

Week 1

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…

Week 1 is finally here!

This article will focus on my very favorite plays of the week. These are plays that I plan to use for both cash games and tournaments. I want to make the article as transparent as possible, so I will go through the plays that I love for all sites and then hit on a couple are more site-specific. For instance, I love the spot for Jamies Winston this week at home against the Niners, but he’s overpriced compared to his peers on DraftKings. He’s a much better point-per-dollar option on FanDuel, which is why he’ll be featured in the “Additional FanDuel Plays” section.
