Vegas thinks Washington's Monday night game with Pittsburgh is going to be a high-scoring affair, giving Jordan Reed some nice upside. What other players should you target this week on DraftKings?

With Week 1 about to kick off, we're all eager for not only the return of football and everything that comes with it, including DFS.

Last year, we took a look at key matchups to exploit on DraftKings utilizing Vegas spreads and totals, our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric, and some daily fantasy gamesmanship.

The Week 1 slate offers us a full 16 games if playing the Thursday to Monday slate, so there's a ton of options to choose from. Three games are currently have an over/under at 50 or above, per Vegas, which means points galore for our rosters if we choose our players well.

Of course, numberFire offers a great tool for premium members, allowing you to build customizable lineups by inputting your players and seeing what our projections offer for the week. There's even an optimization function that uses our algorithms to help fill out the rest of your daily lineup and give you the best chance of succeeding on game day.

Let's get into Week 1 and check out which studs and value plays should you target on DraftKings?
