Week 1 DFS: The best time to be contrarian on DraftKings and FanDuel

Quick, who were the top fantasy football performers in Week 1 in DFS last season?

Answer: They were mostly Kansas City Chiefs.

Remember the opener from last season, when the Chiefs ruined the Patriots' victory lap with a 42-27 victory? It was filled with fantasy goodness, and if you played that Thursday game on a large slate, you were sitting pretty entering the weekend.

While most of the action went to the Patriots side, rookie RB Kareem Hunt ran for 148 yards and a touchdown and hauled in five catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns, and Alex Smith threw for 368 yards and four touchdowns.
