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.

Cardinals vs. Vikings NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Arizona Cardinals Targets
The rookie Clayton Tune threw 75% of the team’s passes in last week’s preseason game against the Chiefs, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen again. The only wrinkle here is the recently acquired Josh Dobbs getting action, but I can see Tune at least getting a half of work. Tune led the Cardinals in both passing and rushing against the Chiefs last week.
Michael Wilson (WR – ARI)
Greg Dortch (WR – ARI)
It’s starting to appear that Wilson projects as the starter, but Greg Dortch has had an incredible camp so far as well. I could see both getting extra snaps in this one in a true “camp battle” feel, especially with a QB battle also occurring. A double stack with Tune could yield dividends early on in this contest.
Minnesota Vikings Targets
The Vikings will not play starters in this game, which makes it almost certain that Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall will each get a half of work. Both were awful in week two with a combined 77.7 QBR, but Mullens threw 23 passes to Hall’s seven. Arizona’s rapidly depleting roster SHOULD be a better matchup for Mullens and the offense than the Titans last week.
