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.

Bills vs. Bears NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Buffalo Bills Targets
Justin Shorter saw six targets in his last game for the Bills. He hauled in five receptions for 47 yards and also scored a touchdown. Shorter didn’t play in Week 1, but he’s quickly rising the wide receiver board for the Bills. The quarterbacks are throwing the ball his way with confidence.
Chicago Bears Targets
The Bears elected to wait for the preseason finale to debut Justin Fields. The Bears gave Fields and the first offense 30 snaps last year. If Fields gets 30 snaps in this game, he’ll finish strongly heading into the regular season. Fields has been gaining much traction in MVP voting and is becoming a quality fantasy quarterback due to his running ability.
We can’t expect the Bears’ starters to play forever. Robert Burns led the Bears in carries and yards last weekend. He averaged nearly five yards per carry and hauled in three receptions for 15 yards. He was thrown to five times, which was second-most on the team. He’ll be a significant impact late in this game.
