Week 1 DraftKings NFL DFS Pricing

NFL DFS is BACK. DraftKings’ Week 1 pricing was released EARLY this season, giving us six full weeks to prepare our lineups. On the Contrary host Chris Spags joins the world’s #1 fantasy player, Alex ‘Awesemo’ Baker, and From the Slot writer Nolan Kelly to discuss their initial impressions from the slate. Alex likes some interesting contrarian quarterbacks, including highly priced Patrick Mahomes, who might see an ownership discount with a tough road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on tap. Chris Spags is all in on Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and Nolan Kelly likes a lot of cheap Tight Ends, including Hunter Henry priced below $4k.

Check back in shortly for more videos, as well as preseason NFL DFS articles that’ll cover Week 1-4 DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo contests.

Thanks for watching!

After graduating with a degree in mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis in 2008, he began developing advanced statistical models and applied his unique skill-set first to poker, then as a full-time DFS player. He has since dominated DFS, becoming a fixture on leaderboards and cementing his position as the top-ranked overall player according to RotoGrinders. Competing in most guaranteed prize pool tournaments, he has ranked in the top 3 across major sports, including NBA, NFL, NHL, PGA, and MLB. He enjoys sharing his knowledge of fantasy sports with new and experienced players alike. Career Highlights: No. 1 Overall Ranking; 14x FanDuel $100k winner, 11x DraftKings Hundred-Thousandaire; 20x Live Final qualifier.
