On Sunday football fans will be treated to what they've been waiting for since January — a full slate of football games.
With almost every team in the league active (stay safe Miami and Tampa), we're getting a whole slew of games at 1 p.m. that will require multiple screens or a quick trigger finger from Scott Hanson on RedZone, followed by great games to finish the day and even a double-header on Monday night.
With the return of football comes the return of fantasy sports, and while traditional players have already drafted, many players are still toiling with their DraftKings and daily fantasy options, looking to find the perfect combination of players to get them into the money.
Budgeting can get tight fast in daily fantasy — it's tough to leave Le'Veon Bell out of your lineup when you're SURE he's going to run all over the Browns. With this in mind, below are some potential value plays for Week 1 daily fantasy players. Picking these guys up aren't a sure thing, but they'll do well enough to get you some points, and save you some dollars so you can spend more money on studs.
QB: Carson Wentz, $5,300
There are better quarterback options out there for Week 1 than Carson Wentz, but at just $5,300, he's an affordable option if you're looking to allocate your digital capital elsewhere. With new offensive weapons Alshon Jeffrey and Torrey Smith, if you believe in the Eagles this season, this game has the potential to be something of a coming out party.
RB: Christian McCaffrey, $5,400
Christian McCaffrey is anchoring the Panthers running attack and is likely only priced this low because it's his first game. On Thursday night we saw just what rookie running backs are capable of when Kareem Hunt ran all over the Patriots. Against the 49ers defense, McCaffrey and the Panthers have a chance to run up the score and prove that they belong back in the conversation for best in the league.
RB: Isaiah Crowell, $5,400
Isaiah Crowell isn't Le'Veon Bell, but he is the best offensive weapon the Browns have in their game against the Steelers. With rookie quarterback Deshone Kizer under center, expect Crowell to get a good amount of touches as Cleveland helps its rookie settle in.
