Fantasy Football Week 1 Projections Are Now Live

Gird your loins, friends. NFL Week 1 cometh.

FanDuel Research is here to help you prepare for that glorious day.

With Week 1 NFL DFS contests going live on FanDuel, FanDuel Research's NFL Week 1 fantasy football projections are posted, as well.

You can use these projections for everything from DFS to setting your redraft lineups to betting player props at FanDuel Sportsbook. And because they're powered by numberFire's analytics, you know you can trust them, as well.

Of course, if you're looking for season-long fantasy football projections, FanDuel Research has you covered there, as well. To access any projections, just click or hover over the NFL tab in the site menu and click "projections."

You can find the full NFL Week 1 projections there. You can also toggle to see just the main slate NFL DFS projections if you prefer that.

But here's a sampling of the players with the five highest projections at each position.
