Those who rostered Steelers QB Drew Allar in NFL DFS lineups for preseason Week 1 were surely rewarded as the former Penn State star threw two touchdowns and ran for another. Allar is back in Friday's NFL DFS player pool as Week 2 of preseason continues with a three-game slate. Broncos comprise Friday's schedule.
In addition to Allar, another quarterback who's taken snaps for Pittsburgh is hoping to carry over his production from Week 1 into Week 2. Former first rounder Kenny Pickett is on to his fourth team in four years and is now in Carolina. He completed 84.2% of his passes, with 92 yards and 1 touchdown last week, and Pickett had more pass attempts than all of the other Panthers QBs combined.
Monitoring playing time is NFL DFS advice that would serve you well for Friday's action, where all three games have an over/under between 37.5 and 41.5.

Now, White has turned his attention to the 2026 NFL preseason Week 2 schedule for Friday, and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks.
You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine. One of White's favorite DFS picks for Friday, where every player is $5,500 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel, is Jets running back Braelon Allen. Coach Aaron Glenn has hinted that starters will play on Friday, and with Breece Hall (groin) sidelined, Allen should see reps with the first team.
Even as a backup last week he led the team with 44 yards and 1 touchdown over just four carries. Allen missed most of last year due to an MCL injury but had 482 scrimmage yards and 3 TD as a rookie in 2024, despite being the NFL's youngest player at the time at 20 years old. He's also building around Steelers receiver Germie Bernard, who had 4 grabs for 51 yards in preseason Week 1, also leading Pittsburgh with five targets.
