Notable FanDuel DFS Changes for 2024

FanDuel has now included the Sunday Night Football game on its main slate for the last two weeks. This is something we haven’t seen in a few years, but it looks like it may be back for good. The biggest shift is that this means there are more opportunities to late swap. In cash games, it may not be as important, but it definitely does when it comes to maximizing ROI in tournaments.

And, as mentioned last week, yardage bonuses have arrived! Similar to 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

Kyler Murray – $8000

We’re looking for Kyler to use his legs and boost his floor, as he did last week with 57 yards on the ground. Even if he’s going to average 5.2 yards per pass attempt like he did last week (I expect that number to come up, for what it’s worth), Murray will be fine as long as we’re getting that same level of rushing output, especially in shootout game environments like he could be in against the Rams in Week 2. The Rams’ defense didn’t look like a top-tier unit in a Week 1 loss to the Lions, and that was against Jared Goff, who is not a rushing threat whatsoever.
