Before you set your NFL DFS lineups on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings for Thursday's action in Week 1 of the preseason, you NEED to see what Scott Engel has to say.

Engel is a prime source to consult for DFS success. Engel is an inaugural member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame and has been a premier analyst and Fantasy personality for 25 years. He is a four-time FSWA Award Winner and 10-time nominee. In 2020, Engel was a finalist for the FSWA Fantasy Football Writer of the Year Award, which he also won previously.

His expertise allows him to find the best DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only with members at SportsLine.

For the 2021 NFL Hall of Fame Game, Engel had Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins as one of his top picks. The result: Haskins went 8-for-13 for 54 yards, receiving the most playing time out of Pittsburgh's quarterbacks. He outplayed starter Mason Rudolph, who committed a turnover, and anybody who had Haskins in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

For 2021 NFL Preseason Week 1 on Thursday, we can tell you Engel is high on Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer. Part of his optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Washington running back Peyton Barber, who should get plenty of touches.

Engel is also targeting a player who could go off for MASSIVE numbers on Thursday! This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any lineups.
