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.”

Titans vs. Vikings NFL Preseason DFS Picks
Tennessee Titans vs. Minnesota Vikings Targets
The Minnesota offense didn’t impress me against the Seahawks. The Vikings added 13 points behind Nick Mullins and Jaren Hall. Hall completed just 6-for-14 and averaged 2.6 yards in the air.
Meanwhile, the Titans weren’t much better. The offenses added 17 points against the Bears. However, the offense still added 372 yards, 20 first downs, and 73 plays against the Bears in Week 1 of the preseason.
Malik Willis had his ups and downs. But I thought he was much better than Will Levis in that game. Willis completed 16-of-25 passes and added 189 yards with one interception. However, he earned a touchdown on the ground and rushed thrice for 22 yards. Willis and Levis were both sacked four times and didn’t have much time in the pocket. But Willis is a little bit more seasoned.
I also liked what I saw out of Tyjae Spears. He added 32 yards on six carries, averaging 5.3 yards per rush. Spears was incredible with Tulane last season and should be a nice little underdog story for Tennessee moving forward.
Lastly, Mason Kinsey saw a team-high six targets for the Titans last weekend. He hauled in four of those balls for 40 yards and had a long of 21 yards. Kinsey earned at least two more targets than anyone on the team against the Bears.
