The first full week of the NFL preseason schedule kicks off with a two-game slate on Thursday, August 8 featuring Patriots vs. Panthers and Giants vs. Lions. Both games begin at 7 p.m. ET. Several notable rookies will make their professional debuts and could be among the most popular options in the NFL DFS player pool. Given their status as top-10 picks, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and Giants wide receiver Malik Nabors could be among the most popular NFL DFS picks on Thursday if they suit up. Should either player be a part of your NFL DFS stacks and preseason NFL DFS lineups?
