TL;DR DFS Week 1

• In his brief time as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, Jalen Hurts was the overall fantasy QB10 in points per game (23.0).
• The key to making two to three studs with a premier passer work is some combo of sub-$4K WRs—Elijah Moore ($3,000), Rondale Moore ($3,000), Terrace Marshall Jr. ($3,000) & Marquez Callaway ($3,000) all pop as top-11 WR values with E. Moore and Callaway ranked in the top five. Each receiver has a floor close to zero but that’s the nature of a true stars-and-scrubs build—their floors are more than made up for by the top-end players that this build allows.
• Jakobi Meyers should line up against Justin Coleman this week. Coleman dealt with injuries last season and ended up appearing in 11 games. Over his 276 coverage snaps, he allowed a 91.7% completion rate on catchable targets.
• The Bills ranked 20th against opposing RBs last season, and Najee Harris is competing with absolutely no one for touches in the Pittsburgh backfield. He should command 90%-plus of the Steelers’ quality backfield opportunities (targets and carries inside the five).
