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. In addition to the picks we’re providing, be sure to check out DBro’s Guide to NFL Preseason DFS for help determining your overall strategy.

Falcons vs. Dolphins NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Atlanta Falcons & Miami Dolphins Targets
The Dolphins have all the speed you could ever want for a fantasy team. Speed allows simple passes and gets you a lot of yards. Although Mike McDaniel is still unsure whether any starters will play in the first preseason game, Skylar Thompson will probably get at least half of the reps in this game at quarterback. Thompson appeared in seven games last year for the Dolphins and only had a 27.2 QBR. He threw just one touchdown in seven games and completed just 60 passes for 105 yards.
But that experience for Thompson will only help him move forward. He’s also got some tremendous playmakers, including Erik Ezukanma and De’Von Achane. Reports state that Ezukanma has had a nice camp and is fighting for the third WR spot on the depth chart. Meanwhile, De’Von Achane is super speedy and capable of catching passes out of the backfield. I’d stack those Dolphins together.
