DraftKings' NFL Sunday Ticket promo adds real juice: a $5 first bet nets $300 in bonus bets, plus over $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket with YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channel. Eight $25 bonus slips arrive within 72 hours of a win and expire after seven days.

Week 1 features Rodgers vs Fields in Jets-Steelers, Flacco leading the Browns against the Bengals, and Jones steering the Colts against Miami. The promo invites sharp bets and DFS edge, with Sunday Ticket’s multiview letting fantasy managers chase four games at once and track live line moves across a packed opening slate.

Josh Downs lands as a Week 1 start in 12+ team leagues with upside in a Colts offense leaning into his after-the-catch potential. The Miami matchup is favorable for a quick-hitting role, and Downs has shown the ability to haul in heavy targets when the QB is accurate. If he continues to command a larger slice of the target pie than Pittman Jr. and Tyler Warren, Downs could push into usable WR2 territory early in the season.

His path hinges on a more reliable quarterback connection and a healthy dose of targets in Indy’s air attack. If Downs seizes the opportunity, Week 2 could cement him as a trusted WR3 with WR2 upside, especially if Daniel Jones’ influence translates to improved offensive efficiency in the short passing game for Indianapolis.

Zach Banner, 6-8, 358, worked out for the Bears as Chicago eye’s depth at tackle. The Week 1 O-line projection lists Braxton Jones, Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, Jonah Jackson and Darnell Wright, leaving Banner as a potential swing option if he proves movement and technique can keep pace with NFL speed. No signing yet, but the workout keeps him on the radar.

Banner, a 2017 Colts fourth-rounder who never played for Indy, also spent time with Cleveland and Pittsburgh and most recently surfaced in spring action with the Houston Roughnecks. The Bears’ interest signals a broader interest in veteran, size-first depth while they ride with an established starting group.

Fantasy takeaway: Banner isn’t a ready-made starter, but his size and NFL résumé could land him in a camp battle for swing tackle depth. If he signs and earns rotational reps, a few spot snaps in run or pass packages could appear, especially on heavy formations or after injuries.

Miami’s rookie Ollie Gordon II is climbing into the Dolphins’ backfield mix as a potential No. 2 behind De’Von Achane, with Mattison’s injury clearing a path for expanded early involvement. Miami’s emphasis on a power run game alongside faster backs aims to open up downfield shots for Tua Tagovailoa to target Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. If Gordon starts or shares carries, the Colts front must respect a two-pronged attack that could elevate the entire offense.

Staff stress that Gordon’s role will hinge on workload and execution, not hype. A successful run-push could loosen Colts run defense and create time for play-action passes, boosting both Hill’s big-play chances and Waddle’s target ceiling. The opener at Lucas Oil Stadium pits a run-first mindset against a Colts interior rotation led by Buckner, Stewart, and Franklin, with Slowik’s two-shell philosophy giving the pass game a path to efficiency.

Dolphins offseason aims to unlock downfield play. Slowik, now senior pass game coordinator, helps rebuild the interior with Daniels and Savaiinaea, while Hill and Waddle remain focal points alongside a bigger inside-run presence. The plan targets more diverse looks to threaten space beyond deep balls.

Last year Miami faced a league-high two-deep looks (53%), with only a few TDs beyond 20 yards and a 7% deep-pass rate. McDaniel says the attack must threaten defenses in multiple ways, using run, play-action and faster drives to generate points while keeping Tagovailoa healthy.

Blockers upgrades and inside-running punch aim to rebalance after pass-block and rushing struggles. Sunday’s opener in Indianapolis will test whether these changes translate into a dynamic, fantasy-friendly attack for Hill, Waddle and Tagovailoa.
