We've made it! The 2024 NFL season is here and with it comes NFL DFS projections as well.

But, before we jump into our top NFL DFS Week 1 picks, we need to at least mention the obvious change to our DFS content this season – and that is the passing of the torch from the great Howard Bender to myself as your 2024 NFL DFS Playbook analyst! 

 

 

 

This is my 13th NFL season with Fantasy Alarm and my fingerprints have been all over the DFS content in all sports for many years. This includes the occasional spot-start with the DFS NFL picks when Bender is out Phishing, so I know I have big shoes to fill!

Don’t worry, Howard is still very much part of our NFL DFS content. You can find Howard Bender’s DFS Watch List, which will get updated throughout the week with his thoughts and core play grid with his top NFL DFS projections. It’s a perfect compliment to this Playbook.

Howard also will continue to record the DFS Contrarian Corner, DFS Value Plays and weekly Fantasy Alarm DFS Show.

So, with that bit of news out of the way, let's dive into the NFL DFS Week 1 action!

NFL DFS Week 1 Picks & Playbook For DraftKings & FanDuel

If you are new to the #FAmily, welcome and please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush these NFL DFS projections and contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team and when you should expect to see these articles this season!

We have a LOT more NFL content each week, but these DFS Coaches, Howard’s Watch List, and this Playbook are our flagship articles.

With it being Week 1, I just wanted to welcome you all personally. We plan to have a ton of fun this season and keep you in the green!

Speaking of getting into the green, let’s get after our NFL DFS Week 1 picks.

 

 

 

Winning With This Playbook

Do you like doing lots of research for your DraftKings & FanDuel games? If so, this Playbook will be the perfect way to put it all together with winning DFS lineups. And, if you want to skip the research, this Playbook can serve as your cheat sheet and still guide you to DFS success.

My recommended DFS Player Pool for NFL Week 1 is below. You can find quick analysis on each of these picks, and then just as quickly plug them into your lineups by using our Lineup Generator.

Pretty sure that sums up the basics. As always, if you have any questions, we are all available via the Fantasy Alarm Discord chat, so please do not ever hesitate to ask for help. Helping you win your DFS NFL picks is what we are here for!
