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.”

Jaguars vs. Lions NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Jacksonville Jaguars Targets
Tank Bisgby has been the darling of the Jaguars’ training camp so far and understandably so. At six feet tall and 216lbs pounds, Tank Bigsby lives up to his nickname. Bigsby game models Damien Harris which is excellent for goal-line situations on a great offense in Jacksonville.
Brenton Strange has been making waves in training camp in 2023. His size (6’4/253lbs) and 86 percentile burst score give the Jaguars another weapon in the tight-end room. In the first preseason game, we watched this come to fruition as the Jaguars used 13 personnel (three tight ends) multiple times. Expect more of the same in this preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
Detroit Lions Targets
This selection is simple. Jared Goff is the starter and should be protected after a few series. Teddy Bridgewater has a limited understanding of the playbook due to just joining the team. Hendon Hooker is still recovering from injury. Sudfeld should become an “innings eater” at the quarterback position.
Remember that bother defense squads and kickers should be in use during this preseason game. The defense selections were because, in the preseason, we have more pressures, sacks, and turnovers due to the level of competition. Kickers should be involved in your player pool because this game is in the dome in Detroit, so we have no issues with the weather.
