NFL Picks: DraftKings Network Staff Predictions for the 2024 season

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

The 2024 NFL season kicks off on Thursday, and at DraftKings Network, we’re fired up for the new season! We’ve expanded our staff to bring you the best coverage from multiple angles including DFS analysis, DraftKings SportsBook picks, season-long advice and plenty of all the hype that accompanies a new season.

With kickoff looming, we asked our staff to send us their top picks for the upcoming season. These are “flag picks” for the 2024 NFL season, and you can let us know if you agree or disagree with our selections on X (formerly known as Twitter). Each member of the staff’s handle is listed next to their name, and you can also find all our staff on this list compiled by Jeff Pratt.
