NFL DFS Projections
The projections below are created from our custom NFL model for DraftKings and FanDuel. DraftKings projections include bonuses for players projected to achieve them in our model. Projections will be updated for any injury/inactive news that breaks prior to lock.
Join us at 6pm ET on Saturday for the full game-by-game breakdown live, or catch up before lock right here:
last updated: 10:37 am ET – 9/24/23 –
Note: Status quo update, Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially playing, as are DK Metcalf, DeAndre Hopkins, and Isiah Pacheco. Jaylen Waddle has been ruled out for Miami. Austin Ekeler has been ruled out for Week 3, as have Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Jones. Kareem Hunt has been added to both player pools and is expected to play, he has been added to projections. Cam Akers has been added to the FanDuel player pool but not DraftKings, he is not expected to play for the Vikings in Week 3. We are watching the status of Jaylen Waddle, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, DK Metcalf, and Josh Reynolds, among others. Anthony Richardson has been confirmed out, he was not in our original version of the projections, Gardner Minshew will start in his place. Bryce Young has also been ruled out, Andy Dalton has been added to this update in his place. We are currently projecting David Montgomery to miss Week 3, Jaylen Waddle is currently projected in but we are watching his concussion protocol status as well. Cam Akers was traded to the Vikings, he is not currently available on either site but we have adjusted Vikings projections in anticipation of him playing. We have Christian Watson projected in but he is not practicing on Thursday so we will have an eye on that situation as well. Aaron Jones is back at practice and seems like he will play Week 3. Logan Thomas has been ruled out, we have bumped the second and third tight ends for Washington accordingly.
