My Single Entry Picks for Fanduel:

The NFL season kicks off with an exciting matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens, two of the most dynamic teams in the league. Both teams have a storied history and a roster full of talent. When these powerhouses meet, it’s a clash of styles: the Chiefs are known for their explosive, pass-heavy offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while the Ravens are famous for their aggressive, run-first approach, driven by quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Kansas City’s high-octane passing game, featuring stars like Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, aims to stretch defenses and score quickly. Meanwhile, the Ravens rely on a versatile ground attack that leverages Jackson’s dual-threat abilities to keep opponents guessing, especially with the addition of Derrick Henry this season to further bolster their running game.

While both teams possess strong defenses, their real strength is in their ability to outscore opponents with their unique offensive strategies. For FanDuel players, the challenge in this Single Entry slate is choosing the right players for the MVP spot and flex positions, balancing the explosive potential of Kansas City’s passing attack with the ground-and-pound reliability of Baltimore’s offense.

Here are the 3 players I came up with on this build to start with!

Recap Friday

Well, this game is in the history books. I took a small risk for a big reward by putting Mark Andrews in the captain spot.

Given his recent car accident, I knew he’d be lower-owned, which made the play enticing. Mark Andrew is Lamar Jackson’s usual top target, I expected Andrews to pay off, but it was Isiah Likely the other Baltimore TE who had the monster game and stole the show. Geez!

My flex picks, Rachaad Rice and Xavier Worthy, were solid, but without Andrews hitting, my FanDuel lineup fizzed out and missed cashing.

This lineup was a high-upside gamble that didn’t quite land this time.
