  There are few things in life more joyous than the opening week of the NFL season. For me, it means a full day on the couch, chicken wings and a pizza in the oven (at different times...Im not an animal) with a pint of ice cream on deck. Glorious. What am I hoping to witne s in the midst of all that? My lowest-owned NFL DFS players hitting paydirt and pushing me ahead of the field. Week 1 is different than most given that we have months of lead-in time, and I think its a time when casual daily fantasy football owners are a Cal Quantrill Jersey little afraid to veer off the beaten path in FanDuel and DraftKings contests.

  My goal here will be to touch on a few players that are likely to be more popular than they should be while also trying to find some hidden gems that could be GPP difference makers. We'll be using numbers as a reference. Lets get into it

  Week 1 Non-PPR Rankings: | | | | |

  Week 1 Projected NFL DFS Ownership: Quarterback

  High: Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Lions (10.5 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 11.8 percenton DraftKings).In his regular season debut, Murray is expected to be one of the three most popular QBs on both major sites. We have certainly seen some rookies come out with a bang before, but Im expecting Murrays first game to leave his owners wanting more. There are plenty of reasons to be pe Eric Hosmer Jersey simistic. For as much as Kingsburys offense has been raved about since he was hired, we havent seen it succeed here yet. Does that mean it cant? Obviously not, but I struggle to put that much faith in a chalky QB. Arizonas offensive line is still an i sue, and Detroits defense has plenty of talent up front. Detroit is also the favorite here and if they are able to control the ground game and burn clock, it could lead to fewer opportunities for Arizonas offense. I will be far underweight on Murray shares come Sunday.

  Low: Josh Allen, Bills @ Jets (2.1 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 1.8 percenton DraftKings).I dont expect Allen to be as efficient of a runner as he was last season, but the upside he adds with his legs cant be ignored. I would also expect his pa sing chops to improve and his receiving corps has at least been upgraded mildly, with John Brown presenting the first real weapon hes had. The Jets also dont boast a plus secondary. The floor here isnt exceptionally high in a game with one of the lowest totals of the weekend if you're in Pennsylvania and interested in , the total sits at 40.5 as of now -- but there is going to be a GPP-winning ceiling with Allen most weeks, so why not take a shot while hes being slept on?

  Week 1 Projected NFLDFS Ownership: Running Back

  High:Austin Ekeler, Chargers vs. Colts (17.5 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 16.8 percenton DraftKings).We wont see Melvin Gordon on Sunday, which sets up nicely for Ekeler. However, hes not the only DFS-viable back on this team (hello Justin Jackson), and his counterpart may have some qualities that make him a preferred Fernando Tatis Jr. Jersey DFS target. When Gordon was out last year, Ekeler was absolutely the lead back in terms of touches, but we saw Jacksons usage pick up with time and Id expect to see closer to a 60-40 split here, which makes Ekeler a far tougher sell given how popular hes expected to be. Id rather look elsewhere in the mid-range (namely Chris Carson)and may take some GPP shots at Jackson, but I likely wont be too high on either Chargers running back compared to the field.

  Low: Damien Jake Cronenworth Jersey Williams (3.7 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 2.4 percenton DraftKings).Before the LeSean McCoy signing, Williams was one of the more sought after backsfor fantasy purposes running with the leagues most potent offense. As much as I loved Shady in his days with the Eagles, he is not that same player and has been with the team for about a week, so I think its fair to question how involved hell be right out of the gate. Sure, hes familiar with Andy Reids system, but hes not going to seamle sly transition. Given the projected ownership on Williams, Ill aim to be overweight and hope he takes on the lions share of the work against Jacksonville. On another note, the line in the Chiefs-Jaguars game has moved from -4.5 (KC) to -3.5 since opening despite almost three quarters of the bets being placed on the KC side. However, about half of the money has been placed on Jacksonville, indicating some sharp action on that side. The line sits at KC -3.5 on the , and Ill probably be staying away at that number.

  Week 1 Projected NFL DFS Ownership: Wide Receiver

  High:Curtis Samuel (20.6 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 27.3 percenton DraftKings).Im actually a fan of Samuel and think hes in store for a nice season, but if hes going to be one of the most popular WRs on the slate hes projected to be the most heavily owned WR on DK Im Austin Hedges Jersey perfectly content being underweight in Week 1. If he falters Sunday, Ill likely look to buy back big in the next few weeks. Carolinas offense is still led by the ground game, and Christian McCaffrey commands plenty of attention as a receiver. D.J. Moore is also a fine option, and Im not sure Samuel has cemented himself far enough away from Moore for the projected ownership on Garrett Richards Jersey the two to make sense. Id rather play Moore at le s than half the ownership.

  Week 1 Projected NFL DFS Ownership: Tight End

  Low: George Kittle (5.5 percentpOWN on FanDuel, 10.4 percenton DraftKings). Kittle is more of an against-the-grain play on FanDuel at his asking price, but I would put him right behind Travis Kelce at the top of the TE pool, so the pOWN here still seems low. The 49ers-Bucsgame has as much shootout appeal as any on the slate (it has one of the highest totals on the ), and while the TB pa sing game is drawing more attention, I think San Franciscos deserves plenty, as well. Jimmy G still doesnt really have a true No. 1 WR, and there isnt loads of depth at the position, which sets up really nicely for Kittles floor and ceiling in terms of targets and production. Hell likely end up being the most popular TE in my personal builds, but that doesnt look like itll be the case for most of the public.
