NFL Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Preseason Week 1, Lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel
===================================================================
Jimmie Kaylor, a renowned NFL DFS expert, has revealed his top picks for the preseason Week 1, which takes place on Sunday, August 10. The two standout players in Kaylor's lineup are Chargers quarterback Trey Lance and Bears running back Ian Wheeler 14.
Lance, who is competing for the Chargers' backup quarterback job with Taylor Heinicke, is expected to see significant playing time in the second half against the Saints' backups 1. In the Hall of Fame Game, he demonstrated a strong performance, completing 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns 4.
Wheeler, who suffered a torn ACL during his rookie season, is now healthy and ready to make an impact 3. The speedy, versatile player is battling for touches and a roster spot in Chicago 1. His home run threat potential, every time he touches the ball, makes him an intriguing DFS option 3.
Kaylor is also targeting another under-the-radar player who could post huge numbers and be a difference-maker in DFS lineups on Sunday 1. Unfortunately, the specific name of this player was not disclosed in the search results. Kaylor emphasizes that rostering this unknown player is crucial to winning DFS tournaments and cash games that day 1.
The Sunday slate features two main games: Chicago Bears vs. Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers vs. New Orleans Saints. With many established starters resting, the focus should be on backups and situational opportunities 1.
The Saints' quarterback competition is one of the most closely watched battles of training camp, with rookie Tyler Shough, second-year players Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener contending for the starting position 5. However, Kaylor suggests Lance is the safer top QB DFS pick for Sunday, rather than betting on the Saints' uncertain quarterback situation 4.

The Week 1 NFL preseason schedule concludes on Sunday, August 10. If you're looking to win your DFS contests, consider Kaylor's top picks: Chargers QB Trey Lance and Bears RB Ian Wheeler. And don't forget to keep an eye out for Kaylor's under-the-radar player, who could help you clinch a victory.
