CROSSING THE LINE: Early-Draft RB Made Riskier by Poor Offensive Linesby Gary Davenport
The running back position in fantasy football is being hit harder than an open bar at a Wisconsin wedding in 2018.

First look DraftKings Pricing
Defenses

Not much I really love on Defense week one. The highest priced defense is the Ravens (3,800) and they are a cash game play at home going up against Rookie Josh Allen and the Bills. The Jags (3,700) are the second highest defense in terms of pric...

DFS Fantasy Preview Week 1 WR Salaries 2018by Bobby Gomes
Top Tier
Antonio Brown (8,600) and DeAndre Hopkins (8,300) are the two highest priced receivers on the featured slate. I like Hopkins more than Brown. My interest in Brown right now is minimal partly due to Ben Roethlisberger's home road splits and partly due to his price. That could change though ...

Top Tier
The highest priced Running Backs are Le'Veon Bell (9,400), David Johnson (8,800), and Alvin Kamara (8,500). At this point, due to his contract situation, Lev is a total fade. Kamara should be the keystone option for the majority of cash game players week one due to Mark Ingram’s suspension...
