FanDuel Scoring Changes for 2024
Bonuses are here! Just like DraftKings, players now get three-point bonuses for games where they accumulate 100+ receiving yards, 100+ rush yards, or 300+ passing yards. While it doesn’t drastically change our strategy, it gives us a bit of an easier time comparing a player’s value between FanDuel and DraftKings. It also makes the platform much less touchdown-dependent than it was in the past. Simply, there are more ways for players to score.
Quarterbacks
Josh Allen vs. ARI – $9200
Allen has the highest floor and ceiling of any quarterback on the slate. In 2023, Arizona ranked 28th in yards allowed per play and 31st in points per play. Meanwhile, Allen, who ranked third in QBR and fifth in total EPA per play, led a Bills offense that averaged the sixth-most points per play on offense a season ago.
