Who's ready for some NFL Week 1 DFS? We're finally here – the Sunday main slate – and we couldn't be more excited. We’re all about cashing lineups, winning DFS tournaments and making millionaires, so it’s time to buckle in and get to work before lineups lock at 1pm ET. By now you should have read through all of our DFS content and watched all of the videos. If you haven't, there's still time, so start with the DFS Playbook and work yourself around through all of the DFS coaches and all the reports we've laid out leading up to this beautiful day! Remember, these example lineups should be your last stop in your research before finalizing your own lineups. Get all the work done, build yourself a lineup and then come back here to see if maybe there are some tweaks or changes to make. Sometimes there are and sometimes there aren't. Just like winning a fantasy football championship, there's more than one way to build a lineup and take down a contest! 

Just a few notes here about the lineups below...

The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the DFS Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. 

You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show or even on the Fantasy Alarm Sunday Gameday Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. Sometimes, correlation is needed.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you; a sounding board, as I said. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.

**Be sure to check the Playbook and Dart Board for late changes

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

SUNDAY MORNING NOTES:

According to Adam Schefter:

Travis Hunter is expected to serve as an “every-down wide receiver and situational corner” in Sunday’s season opener against the Panthers.

Dolphins elevated RB Jeff Wilson to the active roster for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts.

49ers activated WR Russell Gage Jr. from their practice squad for Sunday’s game vs. Seattle.

Micah Parsons, who is listed as questionable for Sunday due to a back injury, is expected to make his Packers’ debut vs. the Lions, but he also is not expected to be in on every down, per sources.

OTHER NFL NEWS:

Giants have prepared a “package of plays” that they may use today for Jaxson Dart

Bears RB Kyle Monangai is off the injury report and will play in Week 1 against the Vikings.

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports Patriots OT Will Campbell is “on track” to play in Week 1 against the Raiders.

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports Buccaneers NT Vita Vea (foot) is likely to play in Week 1 against the Falcons.

WEATHER REPORT:

PIT/NYJ – Low impact, light showers early in the game but won't last long.

CAR/JAC – A few storms could pop up in the Jacksonville area near the stadium but nothing considered major

LV/NE – Rain expected throughout the game. Should be wet, though not windy.

TEN/DEN – chances of a passing shower

SF/SEA – Some sprinkles, mist and/or drizzle but nothing heavy or lasting.

GPP STACKS:

As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.
