- Drew Allar threw two touchdowns and rushed for a third in preseason Week 1, and the former Penn State quarterback headlines Friday's DFS pool as Pittsburgh hosts the Jets
- Friday's three-game slate features Steelers vs. Jets, Panthers vs. Jaguars, and Packers vs. Broncos
- Kenny Pickett, now on his fourth team in four years after signing with Carolina, completed 84.2% of his passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, with more pass attempts than all other Panthers QBs combined
- Braelon Allen is priced at $5,500 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel, and is expected to see first-team reps with Breece Hall sidelined by a groin injury after leading the Jets with 44 yards and a touchdown on four carries last week
- Germie Bernard, a second-round rookie out of Alabama where he posted 64 catches for 862 yards and 7 TDs, drew a team-high five targets and hauled in four passes for 51 yards in Week 1; coach Mike McCarthy said only Allar and Will Howard will take quarterback snaps Friday
Why it matters: For DFS players, the Friday slate is uniquely compressed into three games, making player selection and stacking decisions more leveraged than a full Sunday card; with Breece Hall sidelined and Pittsburgh committing to young passers, Allen and Bernard sit at the intersection of expanded roles and modest price tags ($5,500/$6,000), the kind of value spot that historically separates cashing lineups from busted ones.
