NFL DFS DraftKings GPP Picks: Week 1 (Fantasy Football)

For the purposes of this article, I’ll be highlighting plays that I believe have upside for large field GPPs at reduced roster percentages, but that doesn’t mean we can’t sprinkle in some cash plays into our GPP lineups as well. In fact, most of the best tournament lineups feature some combination of high rostered plays as well as lower rostered plays. For our full breakdown on DraftKings for Week 1 cash games, be sure to check out our DraftKings cash picks here.

When building your GPP lineups, be sure to reference our Roster Percentage Report as well as our DFS Rankings in order to identify plays who have a solid projection yet may be undervalued by the field. In order to compete in GPPs, we’ll want to utilize a combination of cash plays and GPP plays in order to build solid lineups without sacrificing too much in the way of projection. For more on how to use roster percentages and build strong GPP lineups, be sure to check out this episode of the DFS Podcast.

Quarterbacks

Bo Nix $6,300 vs TEN

Nix is no stranger to accumulating 29+ DK points, having done so four times last year as a rookie. Like Maye, the full offseason should boost overall effectiveness and trust from play callers. Notably, Nix added 430 rushing yards and 4 TDs on the ground. The Broncos strut in with a 25.5 implied total, creating multiple TD opportunities. Fantasy points will be plentiful and could serve as a GPP win engine if Nix is the catalyst.
