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.”

Raiders vs. Cowboys NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Las Vegas Raiders Targets
O’Connell has been a darling of the preseason, as he gets a significant amount of playing time. He has a stellar 71.4% completion rate with three touchdowns in two games. Josh McDaniels has indicated that most of his starters will not play the final preseason game, which should allow O’Connell to see a significant amount of snaps once again.
In the next couple of weeks, Josh Jacobs might decide to come back and suit up for the regular season, but in the meantime, the Raiders want to make sure they have his replacement. White continues to see the heaviest workload and has been the best producer with 83 yards and a touchdown.
Dallas Cowboys Targets
Without Dak Prescott suiting up in the preseason, it’s allowed Will Grier to get a lot of playing time. He’s done well in both preseason games, throwing for over 130 yards in each, and has a touchdown. The volume opportunity makes it a great play.
