My first foray into props and daily fantasy bargains went about as well as I could have hoped. All three of my player bets hit, giving me that incredibly sustainable 100 percent success rate that will in no way set realistic expectations for the rest of the season. My Pharoah Brown punt play was a thick slice of nothing, but Chuba Hubbard and Terrace Marshall Jr. each provided decent value for DFS lineups relative to their cost.
The real trick is doing it again over a full slate of games rather than a single matchup that so badly screamed “Thursday Night Football throwaway” it’s amazing the Jaguars weren’t involved. Sunday is the backdrop to 14 regular season games, 13 of which will be eligible for a nine-spot classic DFS lineup. We’ll take a look at the inexpensive plays that can carry you into the money, as well as some prop bets that look pretty interesting through the lens of the first two weeks of the season.
