Week 1 of the NFL season features a full slate of games on Sunday.
For daily fantasy players, the difference between winning and losing comes down to finding the best value plays at every position.
This week, Insider expects Phillip Rivers, Antonio GIbson, and DeSean Jackson to outplay their prices in DraftKings and FanDuel.
Football season kicks off in full this Sunday, much to the delight of fantasy football players around the world.
While most fantasy enthusiasts have settled their drafts already, those that take part in daily fantasy leagues like DraftKings and FanDuel are still toiling away to set the perfect lineup before kickoff.
Daily fantasy is all about finding value. With a limited budget at your disposal, the most important part of building your lineup is finding players who are cheap to add but could put up a big performance that pays off beyond their listed price. If you can find enough value in players with lower costs, you'll have more budget to spend elsewhere in your lineup to load up on studs.
With this in mind, below are some potential value plays for Week 1 daily fantasy players.
