Week 2 of the NFL preseason kicks off Friday with a two‑game slate: Titans vs Falcons at 7 p.m. ET and Chiefs vs Seahawks at 10 p.m. ET. Atlanta sits without Michael Penix Jr., opening the door for Cam Ward to take the spotlight for Tennessee, while Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes is unlikely to play and Seattle’s Sam Darnold is expected to see some action. With a mix of starters, backups and roster longshots, DFS rosters must dive deep into the QB pool on Friday. The spotlight leans toward Ward’s first chance to stick to a Week 1 roster push, Stick’s reclamation arc for Atlanta, and Darnold’s audition for Seattle as weapons like Tory Horton emerge in camp. The game plan for Friday hinges on value plays and micro-stacks, with SportsLine’s Jimmie Kaylor providing the top Friday NFL preseason DFS guidance, lineups, and stacks.

Ward’s opportunity is the talking point in Tennessee, given Penix’s absence, while Easton Stick could seize the Falcons’ early snaps and push for roster consideration after a strong preseason showing. Horton has been turning heads in Seattle, earning first-team reps and a potential breakout night, while Darnold’s stint for Seattle adds a pivot for late-game exposure. Mahomes sits, but the rest of the quarterback landscape on Friday is ripe for under-the-radar plays and contrarian stacks to gain an edge in tournaments and cash games.
