"While many NFL fans take the fantasy football or daily fantasy sports (DFS) to participate, others take a long-term approach by joining a survivor pool or elimination challenge. In this format of fantasy sports, a player picks a single team to win every week. Each team is only allowed to be selected once per season. If a player's selected team loses, it's better luck next time until the 2026 NFL season. Leagues typically last until the regular season ends or a sole survivor remains."
"Denver Broncos (vs. Tennessee Titans) While many players might be hesitant to burn a 10-win team from last season in the first week, the Broncos matchup at home against the Titans, a 3-win squad in 2024, is a good one. The bookmakers at Bet MGM agree by favoring Denver by more than a touchdown at league-high favorite (-8.5 points). Broncos' QB Bo Nix did not look overmatched in his first NFL season."
Survivor pools require choosing one NFL team to win each week, with each team usable only once per season and a single loss eliminating the entry. Early NFL weeks are highly volatile; less than 6% of entries reached Week 5 in ESPN's 2024 Eliminator Challenge after many favored teams lost in September. Week 1 safer options include the Denver Broncos at home versus the Tennessee Titans, with BetMGM favoring Denver by -8.5, and the Washington Commanders at home versus the New York Giants, with Washington favored by 6 points. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 66.3% of passes for 3,775 yards and a 29-12 TD-INT ratio in 2024, while Tennessee selected rookie Cam Ward first overall in 2025.
