Friday night NFL preseason action features a two-game slate that could yield decisive DFS pivots. The New York Jets host the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife, while the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead. The fantasy focus centers on Chicago’s quarterback depth, especially Tyson Bagent, with Bears backup Ian Wheeler also in the mix as a cost-effective dart. Patrick Mahomes and Caleb Williams are noted as likely to play in the Chiefs-Bears tilt, but usage could be limited. SportsLine’s Jimmie Kaylor provides the weekend’s top picks and stacks, emphasizing charting value and leverage plays for large-field tournaments. Monitoring snaps and game plans will shape Friday’s optimal lineups.

Expect Bears discussions to orbit Bagent as a potential value QB with a lucrative contract extension and a track record of accuracy in college. Wheeler is highlighted as a burst player who could contribute in both the run and pass game after a rehab-filled return. On the Chiefs side, Mahomes brings marquee upside if he logs meaningful snaps, while Caleb Williams’ inclusion adds intrigue for future fantasy conversation. In the Jets-Eagles game, rostering a value receiver or a contrarian stack becomes a viable way to differentiate lineups in a volatile preseason setting.
