The first week of the 2022 NFL season is in the books and daily Fantasy football players are trying to hone in their NFL DFS strategy as we head towards Week 2. Giants running back Saquon Barkley appears to be healthy after battling through injuries the last three seasons and racked up 164 yards rushing with a touchdown while adding six receptions for 30 yards in Week 1. Now, Barkley could be a popular option for Week 2 NFL DFS lineups as the Giants take on a Panthers squad that allowed 217 yards rushing to the Browns last week.
However, Barkley comes at a steep price point at $8,800 on FanDuel and $7,300 on DraftKings. Affording upper-echelon talent like Barkley with a solid matchup means you’ll have to find more affordable options in the NFL DFS player pool to balance your lineup. Before making any NFL DFS picks for Week 2 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs.
Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation’s most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years, posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.

He carried the ball 13 times for 47 yards while also catching five passes for 26 yards, whereas Akers only played 12 snaps and received three touches. With Henderson now looking like the top option in the backfield and still priced affordably, he’s one of Gibbs’ top options for his Week 2 NFL DFS picks.
Another one of the NFL DFS picks that Gibbs is eyeing: Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk ($5,600 on DraftKings, $6,500 on FanDuel) as Jacksonville takes on Indianapolis. After posting a…
