Week 1 Staff Picks

Welcome to the Fantasy Points staff picks! Every Thursday, our crew will pick every game straight up in this space, and our betting writer Tom Brolley will pick every game against the spread. We'll also give tiered picks for Survivor Pools and we’ll rank our picks for Confidence Pools based on our consensus selections. Be sure to head over to our Odds Board page for the latest Spreads, Moneylines, and Over/Unders found on DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, PointsBet, and Sugar House.
