In this weekly article, we’ll use the early betting lines from Vegas to take a deeper look at which games to target and avoid for NFL DFS. Implied team totals have positive correlations with fantasy output, especially for quarterbacks. Plus, we’ll highlight some potentially under the radar teams with high implied team totals despite a lower over/under. Note that these lines will probably change over the course of the week, which is why we call it ‘starting’ points.
Target:
Atlanta at New Orleans, Total 51.5
Saint minus-4.5
New Orleans is the fourth-highest scoring team in the league, and Atlanta is the second-most generous in terms of overall fantasy points allowed to opponents.
