NFL DFS Week 2 Preview: Main Slate Lineups, Picks, Stacks and Ownership I FFT DFS

·1 hr 11 min·4 clips

Mike says Joe Burrow could throw four passing touchdowns in Bengals-Jaguars.

The show breaks down the Week 2 DFS main slate. Sina Jha hosts with Meg Schaup and Mike McClure. They start by framing the week as a chance to sort out what felt real in Week 1 and what still needs more context. The slate has 12 games, and nine of them land in the 1 p.m. window, with only three in the afternoon. That leaves a crowded early board to work through. It also puts several big-name quarterbacks in play. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and Dak Prescott all come up as part of the slate shape. The conversation keeps coming back to early-season chalk and mispricing. The panel treats those as lineup problems, not abstract theory. Rams-Titans is the first major game-by-game stop. The game has a low total of 41.5, and the Rams are a 5.5-point favorite. Puka Nacua's price and expected popularity get attention. Adams, Pollard, and Ridley are all discussed as usable pieces, and Williams comes up as a player Mike likes. The Titans injuries also factor into the read, and the show keeps turning those details into practical DFS language. Players are sorted into pools, fades, and leverage spots rather than talked about as sure things. The panel stays comfortable with uncertainty as long as it can become lineup decisions. Near the end, they briefly touch the Commanders-Packers game and the weather around kickoff, which is projected to be about 68 degrees. The episode closes with a $5 contest reminder and the note that the first 200 entries get in.
