Marquez Callaway, Tee Higgins Top WR DFS Bargains For NFL Week 1

  • Marquez Callaway odds to surpass 51 receiving yards is -114 on Bovada.
  • Tee Higgins odds of surpassing 61 receiving yards is set at -114 on Bovada.

NEW ORLEANS - Nailing the wide receiver position week in and week out is one of the most challenging things to do when it comes to NFL DFS. While running backs are a little bit more projectable, wide receivers are strictly the opposite.

Most teams have at least 3-5 different receiving mouths to feed, so projecting WR target volume can get particularly hairy.

After having a superb preseason, Marquez Callaway has caught the attention of most of the daily fantasy community, and is looking like an easy plug and play for Week 1. He is sitting at $3400 on DraftKings and is going to be a staple in lineups this weekend.

Callaway has an extremely low yardage prop on Bovada, with -114 odds to surpass 51 receiving yards. With Callaway's deep threat ability and Jameis Winston's propensity to chuck it down field, Callaway could pass that total in as little as two catches.

While Green Bay is not the best matchup, many are not accounting for the severe QB upgrade the Saints now have with Winston. Fresh off Lasik eye surgery, Winston is in for a decent year, and will elevate the entire Saints passing offense.

Using Tee Higgins Odds For DFS

Tee Higgins will certainly be heavily in the mix Sunday for Joe Burrow, as the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Minnesota Vikings. While question marks still loom around the status of Joe Burrow, Burrow has reassured us that he is not worried about his injury at all.

Sportsbooks seem to not believe Burrow though, as Tee Higgins yardage prop is only set at 61 yards, with -114 odds on Bovada.

Similar to Callaway, Higgins could pass this mark in as little as 2-3 catches. Higgins is the #1 weapon in this passing attack, and has a strong established connection with his quarterback Joe Burrow.

It also doesn't hurt that Tyler Boyd is coming off an injury, and draft pick Jamar Chase has not impressed at all in training camp or the preseason.

Expect Tee Higgins to be peppered this weekend against a pretty vulnerable Minnesota Vikings secondary, in a game the Bengals are expected to be trailing. Take advantage of his DFS price tag of $4700 and jam this #1 wideout in your lineups.
