NFL football is finally back. And yes, the preseason counts as real football. The news. The stories. The starters playing one series. The backups vying for roster spots. The veterans clinging to their football lives playing deep into games. The rookies getting their first taste of real action. It’s all so beautiful. And when it comes to preseason DFS, all of that stuff matters. As DBro says, “preseason DFS is gawd’s game.”
Preseason DFS may be for the true degens, but it’s also for those trying to cash in on soft lines from DFS sites. And if you’re following our NFL News Desk and chatting with experts like DBro in the FantasyPros Discord, you’ll have all the information you need to gain an edge over the other degens. In this series of articles, we’re providing our top targets from every team, for every matchup throughout the preseason.

Bears vs. Colts NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Chicago Bears Targets
In the first preseason game, Fields put up a stellar stat line, going 3-3 with 129 and two touchdowns. Although he did it on -7 air yards, that doesn’t play a factor in DFS. We’ll see some passes go past the line of scrimmage this time.
The tandem of Moore and Fields could become one of the league’s best this season. We saw that early on when he took one of those passes in the flat and went to the house for a 62-yard touchdown. Look for them to continue to build this chemistry.
Indianapolis Colts Targets
There is a good chance we’ll never see Jonathan Taylor again on the field for the Colts. This means the team must find someone to fill that role. Deon Jackson got a lot of playing time last year when Taylor was out with an injury, and he was the most efficient runner in the first preseason game, gaining 5.8 yards per carry.
