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.”

Buccaneers vs. Jets NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Jets Targets
The New York Jets have already played two games in the preseason. In both games, Tim Boyle has thrown at least ten passing attempts. However, the Jets released Chris Strevler last week due to an injury. He stole playing time from Tim Boyle in that first game. In the second preseason game, Boyle went 9-for-10, adding two touchdowns and an interception. New York had 16 different receivers catch a pass in its win against the Panthers.
Meanwhile, Israel Abanikanda has been the featured back for the Jets’ running game. He added 12 carries for 56 yards last weekend and finished with three receptions for 31 yards. Abanikanda touched the ball 15 times and was inches away from scoring a touchdown last week.
On the other hand, did anyone see Trey Palmer beating Sauce Gardner one-on-one in joint practice? I certainly did. With Russell Gage out of the mix, Trey Palmer figures to be a big piece of the Tampa Bay offense now. He added four receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers last weekend. I think he can mimic that again.
