NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Truck Series 7/11/20

rmferenc@gmail.com
written by rmferenc@gmail.com

Welcome to the first NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Truck series article here at WinDailySports! Hopefully, we can get a clean start to this race unlike the Xfinity series had the previous 2 nights. We have 3 previous winners in this field, including last year’s winner Tyler Ankrum ($9,000) (Matt Crafton and Ben Rhodes have also won here). Ankrum starts 3rd on Saturday and is one of the better plays of the drivers starting towards the front. After leading the most laps in this race last season (40), I think Ankrum could be a dominator contender again.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

Austin Hill ($10,800)

Starting Position: 5th

Austin Hill has been the best (full time) Truck Series driver this season. In 6 races his worst finish was a 9th place finish in Charlotte where he led 26 laps. Speaking of laps led, Hill has led laps in 4 of the 6 races this season and has led at least 11 laps in each of those 4 races. Hill doesn’t have a win this season but I think he gets that win Saturday night.

Chandler Smith ($10,000)

Starting Position: 10th

The 18-year-old Smith ran 4 races in 2019 for Kyle Busch Motorsports and finished in the top 10 in all four races and top 5 in three of those races. Smith is in the truck Kyle usually drives, the #51, so we know it’s a fast truck. I know the price seems steep for a young kid with little experience, but he is a very good driver and if Kyle Busch is confident enough to put him in his truck, I am confident enough to use him

Other Options: Johnny Sauter (P11 – $11,200), Todd Gilliland (P9- $10,200), Matt Crafton (P14 – $9,700)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Parker Kligerman ($9,400)

Starting Position: 37th

Kligerman is running his second truck race of the 2020 season, and he will most likely be the highest owned driver in the field on Saturday. In his one race, this season Kligerman started 40th and finished 15th for 54 DK points. If we can get a score like that here on Saturday, we will be happy.

Both Sheldon Creed ($8,000), and Grant Enfinger ($7,800) are viable plays tonight. These guys are two of the top drivers in the Truck Series, especially Enfinger who has two wins this season already. They both start inside the top 10, so they are definitely better suited for multi-entry GPP as their upside is limited, but they are both threats to win this race on Saturday

Ryan Truex ($7,500)

Starting Position: 18th

Truex has only raced once in 2020, a 13th place finish in Atlanta last month after starting 20th. That race was Truex’s first Truck race since 2017, but he did manage and 8th place finish at Kentucky Speedway last season in the Xfinity Series, so he does have a good history at this track, albeit a small history. I think Truex will be lower owned, but it’s hard to get a gauge on that for me

Other Options: Ben Rhodes (P6 – $8,700), Christian Eckes (P4 – $8,500), Clay Greenfield (P33 – $8,200)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier

Derek Kraus – $7,300

Starting Position: 17th

Kraus is quietly one of the better drivers this season on the Truck Series with 4 straight finishes of 16th or better. There is not a ton of value in this race, but Kraus is the best of this tier in my opinion.

Value Rankings:

  1. Derek Kraus – P17 – $7,300
  2. Brennan Poole – P32 – $7,400
  3. Tanner Gray – P21 – $6,800
  4. Spencer Boyd – P29 – $5,800
  5. Chase Purdy – P19 – $6,500
  6. Trey Hutchins – P40 – $5,400
  7. Timothy Viens – P34 – $4,800

NFL DFS Cash Games – Week 13 Checkdown

StixPicks
written by StixPicks

Week 13! Likely the last week in your season-long league before the playoffs, but we still have plenty of time left to make some money with NFL DFS Cash Games. We’ve had an incredible season so far here at Win Daily and welcome you all in for another week of cashing. We hope all of you enjoy the article and have a wonderful week of Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites. Please check back in on Saturday/Sunday morning for potential NFL DFS Cash Games updates!

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help NFL DFS players make the most of their investments.

Some notes on what I believe to be the “optimal” roster build for NFL DFS Cash Games. I’ll include this in all the Checkdown articles moving forward. For Week 13, please see below for my notes on roster construction:

  • We don’t have to worry about paying ~$10K for Michael Thomas this week as he is off the slate. Lock in a stud at WR1 and then enjoy the value in the mid-tier.
  • My cash build for Week 13 will probably start with Christian McCaffrey. How can you not play him? If you don’t, make sure you have 3 RBs that are going to have a lot of volume and touchdown equity.
  • Plenty of value and positive game-scripts for the cheaper QBs. You can’t go wrong with Mahomes, but you probably don’t need him.
  • Just because a player is not mentioned in this article, does not mean they are not cash viable.

NFL DFS Cash Games Quarterbacks

  1. Patrick Mahomes ($7,400) – Pretty simple here. If you can afford Mahomes, use him. I likely will not be able to afford him in my optimal cash build, but he is 100% the best play on the board for cash if you aren’t considering salary.
  2. Lamar Jackson ($7,000) – How is he not $8k?
  3. Aaron Rodgers ($6,400) – Rodgers has disappointed fantasy players and Packers’ fans as a whole over the last month. This matchup against the Giants is one Rodgers will feast in. Mitch Trubisky was a part of my “Sexy-Six” last weekend simply because he was going up against the Giants (28th in pass DVOA).

    Trubisky paid off in Week 12 – imagine what Rodgers will do.
  4. Carson Wentz ($5,800) – Wentz has been incredibly disappointing in 2019… there’s no way of sugarcoating it. At this price, against the 32nd ranked team in the NFL in pass DVOA, you can fire up Wentz with confidence. This is a perfect “get-right” matchup for Wentz who should finally have a somewhat healthy receiving core.
  5. Andy Dalton ($4,700) – Welcome back, Andy Dalton. Dalton was recently named the starter once again for the Cincinnati Bengals after they saw how inept Ryan Finley is. If you need some more salary relief, I’m fine with you using Dalton in cash as he should be fired up to prove himself against a Jets’ defense who usually gets torched via the pass.

NFL DFS Cash Games Running Backs

  1. Christian McCaffrey ($10,500) – Do we need to say anything about Christian McCaffrey? Just lock him in this week.
  2. Saquon Barkley ($7,400) – It looks like the days of locking in Barkley and knowing you’re going to get 15+ points are over (for the time being). I’m not sure I want to play him in cash, but if there’s any matchup to right the ship, it should be this Sunday against the Packers’ run defense who ranks 28th in run DVOA.
  3. Le’Veon Bell ($7,200) – Bell hasn’t been anything special this season but he has been a model of consistency. Bell has produced double-digit DraftKings’ points in each of his past four games and should be primed up to do that again against this Cincinnati Bengals’ defense.

    The Bengals have given up an average of over 28 DraftKings’ points per game to opposing running backs this season and just allowed the Steelers’ third-string running back to run for over 90-yards. Bell will probably be a staple in my cash lineups this week.
  4. Miles Sanders ($5,400) / Jordan Howard ($4,700) – I’m more interested in rostering Jordan Howard at the discount if he comes into this game 100% healthy. If Howard is ruled out, I think you can get away with using Miles Sanders, but he clearly hasn’t stood out as someone who is going to put up 15+ DraftKings’ points. If there’s any matchup for a blowup game, it’s on Sunday against Miami.
  5. Jonathan Williams ($5,300) – Marlon Mack is out for Week 13, so fire up Johnathan Williams at a discount. Williams was on the field for over 65% of the Colts’ offensive snaps last week and appears to be capable of handling the duties of a three-down workhorse. The Titans’ have been giving up an average of ~33 DraftKings’ points per game over the past month – Williams should be a lock to hit 2.5X value if he gets 60% or more of the snaps.
  6. Ronald Jones ($5,100) – Jacksonville ranks 30th in run DVOA and have been giving up over 40 DraftKings’ points per game to opposing running backs over the last four games… Yikes. Ronald Jones never plays more than 50% of the Bucs’ offensive snaps, but he should get the opportunity to run away with the RB1 job in Tampa Bay this weekend. It’s risky, but the matchup is perfect and the price is right.

Wide Receivers

  1. Davante Adams ($7,000) – At this price, I’m locking in Davante Adams into my cash lineup to ensure I have a strong piece of this Packers’ passing attack versus this Giants’ secondary. Adams is going to see a lot of DeAndre Baker and that is something I want to invest in. I loved Allen Robinson last week for this exact reason and he went off.

    I fully expect Rodgers and Adams to put up season-high numbers on this secondary. If Trubisky and Robinson can do it, Rodgers and Adams will have no problems.
  2. D.J. Chark ($6,600) / Dede Westbrook ($5,000) / Chris Conley ($4,500) – No secrets here, just pick one of these Jacksonville receivers going up against these outside corners in Tampa Bay. Price has me leaning towards Conley or Westbrook, but Chark is a stud, so I have no problems with you going there.
  3. Keenan Allen ($6,500) – Keenan Allen will have the best matchup on the field against a solid Denver secondary. We never want to pick on Chris Harris, but Allen gets the softer end of the secondary in the slot against Duke Dawson. Advantage Keenan. I do have some concerns with the pace of this game, but I have Allen projected for six catches for 99 yards. If he can get in the box, he will have a monster day.
  4. DeVante Parker ($5,700) – Parker has gone for double-digit DraftKings’ points in EIGHT straight games. Low-key, this guy is finally breaking out and having a fantasy season to remember. Parker has seen 31 targets over the last three games and should continue to be peppered with targets as the Dolphins play from behind in virtually every game they play.
  5. Sterling Shepard ($4,900) – The Giants are likely going to be chasing points in this game from the get go. Golden Tate is out. Evan Engram is out. Load up Shepard.
  6. Auden Tate ($3,800) – Bottom of the barrel type of play but the volume should be there and Tate has some solid upside in a matchup against this Jets’ secondary.

Tight Ends

  1. Travis Kelce ($7,200) – Kelce is the McCaffrey at the tight-end position. If you can afford him, you play him. No other tight-end on the slate has the floor Kelce does.
  2. Darren Waller ($5,500) – Waller has been a disappointment for fantasy players recently but this is the matchup to play him, and play a lot of him. Assuming the Chiefs can get out to an early lead, Waller is going to heavily targeted in a pass-heavy game script Oakland is forced to turn to.
  3. Jack Doyle ($3,300) – Ebron is now on the IR and Mo Alie-Cox is currently questionable for this game which essentially gives Doyle all of the offensive snaps at tight-end for the Colts.
  4. Tyler Higbee ($2,500) – Absolutely love this price and the matchup against the Cardinals. Realistically, if we use Higbee’s salary relief, the rest of our lineup should have plenty of upside to get us across the pay-line.

Defense/Special Teams

  • Carolina Panthers ($3,800)
  • Philadelphia Eagles ($3,600)
  • Pittsburgh Steelers ($3,500)
  • Indianapolis Colts ($3,200)
  • Baltimore Ravens ($2,800)

DFS Pro Javier Prellezo Talks DFS with Phil Naessens

Jason Mezrahi
written by Jason Mezrahi

Javier Prellezo is a terrific guy who just happens to be one of the best multi-sport DFS players on the planet. I’ve lost track of how much he’s won in just the short time I’ve been Director of Content at Win Daily Sports. By my count, it’s just over 200K and that’s a LOT of GREEN American Dollars. Javier took time out of his busy day to chat with us about his DFS career and I hope you enjoy it.

PHIL: How did you get your DFS start?

JAVIER: I got my start in Daily Fantasy Sports roughly 3 years ago. I got contacted by a friend to give it a whirl and use his discount code so I gave it a try. I started really getting into it last year around this time, where I felt the first 2 years were preparing me to give it a go for bigger and better prize pools.

PHIL: Were you always this good and if not, what did you do to get where you are today?

JAVIER: So when my friend contacted me to give it a try, it was mainly a 3 person contest between us and another rival because he definitely wasn’t a buddy.  In the 3 man contest, we’d do $5 per day and I ended up with y a losing record of 17 wins out of the 150+ total contests we played. It was safe to say I wasn’t that good. Since I’m super competitive in life, I told myself that couldn’t happen again. I began researching DFS strategies and sites. My goal was to learn how to beat them in the upcoming baseball season. In doing some small cash games and practicing, I learned the tricks of the trades. In turn, I kept researching and practicing then built my bankroll then started playing more and more. Once I built up even more bankroll, I started higher entry fee tournaments and my love for the game grew to an all time high.

PHIL: Which is your favorite DFS sport and why?

JAVIER: My favorite is the NFL. NFL is hands down the easiest because, in NFL, chalky players are actually good plays in most tournaments. As opposed to NBA, NHL, MLB, the chalk play isn’t necessarily good in both cash and GPP, but in NFL, it is! Also, I enjoy NFL game play because it’s less of a grind than the other sports since they are every day.

PHIL: How much time do you spend daily researching and building lineups?

JAVIER: I’d say I spend about 1-2 hours per day on researching and building lineups. On weekends, I spend even more time. I research, listen to radio shows, update my projections, and work consistently on my mutli-entry approach into large field tournaments.

PHIL: What advice, if any, do you have for newbies or folks who are struggling with winning at DFS?

JAVIER: My advice is to join us at Win Daily Sports and ask questions. Pick all the different pro’s brains and find out what works best for you. We have a private discord channel which grants access to all users to ask questions 24/7/365. I spend more time in discord talking to DFS Pros Jason Mezrahi, David Jones, our team, and our subscribers then I do with most of my friends and family. Once you have done your research, go with your gut and don’t second guess yourself. If you’re losing, change your process and change your contest selection. 

PHIL: What are your future DFS plans?

JAVIER: Win a MILLION dollars in one contest. That’s the goal and that’s the plan! Eventually, retire after my second MILLION!! If you see the image below, I came really really really close last week when I finished 3rd. It was my best finish yet!

With results like these, I have no doubt that Javier will win a million and maybe even two. Good luck buddy and it’s a pleasure to have you in the Win Daily Sports family.

NFL DFS Cash Games – Week 12 Checkdown

StixPicks
written by StixPicks

Where has the time gone? It’s already Week 12 in the NFL Fantasy season and hopefully, all of you have clinched a playoff birth in your season-long leagues! If not, we’ve been on an absolute roll in our NFL DFS Cash Games and will continue this run again in Week 12.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites. Please check back in on Saturday/Sunday morning for potential NFL DFS Cash Games updates!

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help NFL DFS players make the most of their investments.

Some notes on what I believe to be the “optimal” roster build for NFL DFS Cash Games. I’ll include this in all the Checkdown articles moving forward. For Week 12, please see below for my notes on roster construction:

  • I don’t like a lot of the “value” plays at the WR position. Lock in your one or two studs and ensure you get a high-floor, mid-tier priced WR2 and WR3.
  • It doesn’t look like there will be any crazy chalk “free-square” type of plays this week at first glance.
  • My cash build for Week 12 will start with Alvin Kamara being locked in.
  • No QB is priced over $7k. There should be no issues playing whoever you want at this position.
  • If you cannot afford McCaffrey, don’t fret. I love these mid-tier running backs that have guaranteed volume.

NFL DFS Cash Games Quarterbacks

  1. Russell Wilson ($6,800) – If Lockett is healthy, is there a better cash game quarterback than Russel Wilson going up against a pass-funnel defense like Philadelphia? Wilson is as safe as they come.
  2. Matt Ryan ($6,700) – Matt Ryan at home against arguably the worst pass defense in the NFL. This game opened up with a total of 52 points, which is by far the highest on the slate. Matt Ryan should explode in this spot as we saw they don’t really have a running game without Devonta Freeman.
  3. Jameis Winston ($6,200) – He’s risky, we know that. But, even when Jameis Winston lays an egg and throws four interceptions, he still finds a way to get to that 300-yard passing bonus on DraftKings. This game will shoot out.
  4. Derek Carr ($6,100) – There is some value here with Derek Carr going up against a slow Jets’ secondary who ranks 24th in pass DVOA. I don’t love this spot, but the Jets’ rushing defense has been incredible all year long and the Raiders are extremely motivated to win football games right now.

    Assuming Gruden attacks the Jets at their weak spot (the secondary), Carr should be able to hit value for us in cash games.
  5. Baker Mayfield ($5,900) – Keeping this simple – Miami’s defense is awful. I’m assuming the Browns come out and make a statement in this game after last week’s antics. Mayfield should have no issues hitting value in this matchup.

NFL DFS Cash Games Running Backs

  1. Christian McCaffrey ($10,500) – Do we need to say anything about Christian McCaffrey?
  2. Alvin Kamara ($8,200) – Alvin Kamara is by far my number one play at the running back position this week and should be a staple in your cash lineups against one of the worst rush defenses in the NFL.
  3. Nick Chubb ($8,100) – Even with the acquisition of Kareem Hunt, Chubb still saw 27 touches last week. The price is steep, but the matchup is prime. I prefer Kamara at this price point, but Chubb is certainly in play for cash and GPP formats in Week 12.
  4. Ezekiel Elliott ($7,500) – This is a great price on Elliott. The floor should always be there, and this matchup against the Patriots is nothing to be afraid of. They sit right in the middle of the NFL in run DVOA. With the assumption Elliott gets 20+ touches, he is in play for cash games.
  5. Jaylen Samuels ($7,200) – James Conner is likely out for this matchup against Cincinatti so it should be an all systems go for Samuels. I don’t love anything he’s done as a ball carrier this year, but his activity in the passing game is hard to ignore against a team that bleeds catches to opposing running backs (and has a poor rush defense in general).

    With a banged up wide receiving core (Johnson and Smith-Schuster both are likely to be out), Samuels should have his hands full in Week 12.
  6. Derrick Henry ($6,900) – Henry is going to be a staple in the cash game article at this price. Tennessee loves to run the ball and there is no one on the Titans who is taking quality snaps away from Derrick Henry. The Jaguars rank 24th in run DVOA and my early projections have Henry with 22 carries for 124 all-purpose yards and a touchdown.
  7. Le’Veon Bell ($6,400) – Bell has been somewhat a model of consistency in PPR formats this year. We have really seen a blowup game from Bell like we remember from his days in Pittsburgh (and we probably never will), but he’s consistently getting to double digits on DraftKings. On the other side, Oakland has been giving up an average of ~27 points a week over the past month. Bell should be safe for 15+ and is more than cash viable at this price point.
  8. James White ($5,300) – If you need 10-points at the flex spot in cash this week, James White is your guy. White has ONE game with less than 10 DraftKings points and it was last week when he finished with 9.6… His upside is limited, but the floor will be there.
  9. Phillip Lindsay ($5,200) – Attacking this Buffalo run defense is something that has paid dividends throughout the 2019 NFL season. Buffalo ranks 27th in run DVOA and at this price, how can you not like Phillip Lindsay? This game is going to be slow-paced and ugly, but at $5,200, I have no problem rostering Lindsay in cash with the assumption he gets 14+ carries and a few catches.

Wide Receivers

  1. Julio Jones ($8,000) – I love Matt Ryan this week so I obviously love his pass catchers. I’ll 100% have some exposure to the Falcons’ offense in cash this week.
  2. Chris Godwin ($7,300) – Clearly, I love getting exposure to this Bucs vs. Falcons game on Sunday. Godwin is reasonably priced and is due for another smash game that we saw earlier in the year. Slot receivers have crushed Atlanta all season long and Godwin may be one of the best they face all year.
  3. Odell Beckham Jr. ($7,000) – No one in Miami’s secondary can contain Odell Beckham. This is the week he goes off and finally pays off for all of you who drafted him in the first or second round of your fantasy drafts. Beckham is my WR1 on the board this week.
  4. Calvin Ridley ($6,500) – The price has risen on Ridley and rightfully so. Assuming Austin Hooper misses another game, Ridley should be in a prime spot to continue his recent production in the Atlanta offense. I have no problem if you pay the premium for Calvin Ridley this week.
  5. D.J. Chark ($6,400) – Chark is becoming a star in the NFL. He is by far the best receiver on this Jacksonville team and will be representing them in the pro bowl this winter. I always love to pick on the Titans’ banged-up secondary, so feel free to roll out Chark in your cash lineup this week. Chris Conley ($4,100) will be my only Jacksonville WR I target in cash games. He’ll see a lot of LeShaun Sims and should have no problem hitting value in that matchup.
  6. Golden Tate ($5,700) – No idea why he isn’t priced up in the mid $6k range… Bears’ slot corner, Buster Skrine is awful, and Tate has become the most effective weapon on this Giants’ offense lately. This is a nice value for a player who is a lock for 15+ DraftKings points.
  7. James Washington ($5,000) – I touched earlier on the likelihood that JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson miss this game on Sunday against the Bengals. Who else is there to throw to in Pittsburgh? If you don’t love Jaylen Samuels, go to James Washington or the other Pittsburgh pass-catcher I’ll get to later in this article.
  8. Tim Patrick ($3,000) – Alright, here is where we have some fun. Tim Patrick made a helluva return last week in Minnesota and made his presence felt for that Denver offense. Patrick draws an exceptional matchup in Buffalo against Levi Wallace and potentially Taron Johnson (if Patrick moves inside). There’s a good chance I have a lot of Tim Patrick this week.

Tight Ends

  1. Zach Ertz ($6,000) – Ertz is always in play for cash games. He is the best receiver on the Eagles’ offense and should continue to see 10+ targets like he has the past two games.
  2. Darren Waller ($5,700) – Always a good idea to get pass catchers against the Jets’ in your lineups. I won’t be on Waller this week, but he is 100% cash viable.
  3. Vance McDonald ($3,500) – If Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson are out for this game, McDonald gets a massive bump up in my model and will be locked into my main cash lineup.

Defense/Special Teams

  1. Pittsburgh Steelers ($4,000)
  2. Cleveland Browns ($3,800)
  3. Buffalo Bills ($3,400)
  4. Detroit Lions ($3,100)
  5. Denver Broncos ($2,400)
  6. Cincinatti Bengals ($2,100) – Punt play for price, but Pittsburgh has a lot of injuries right now, and this is a divisional game that shouldn’t get out of hand.

NFL DFS Cash Games – Week 11 Checkdown

StixPicks
written by StixPicks

Another solid week of NFL DFS Cash Games for the Win Daily Team in Week 10 – the sample lineup from last week’s Checkdown crossed the pay-line yet again in DraftKings single entry cash games (189.50 DraftKings points)! At this rate, just play the sample lineup – it’s been on fire! Let’s get right back to it for the Week 11 Checkdown for your NFL DFS Cash Games.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites. Please check back in on Saturday/Sunday morning for potential NFL DFS Cash Games updates!

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help NFL DFS players make the most of their investments.

Some notes on what I believe to be the “optimal” roster build for NFL DFS Cash Games. I’ll include this in all the Checkdown articles moving forward. For Week 11, please see below for my notes on roster construction:

  • There are a lot of solid high-floor/high-ceiling value options at the WR position. If you can’t afford a stud, I don’t think that will be an issue. It’s hard to pivot off of Michael Thomas, even with the price.
  • Brian Hill is a must play for cash games.
  • I’m starting to lock-in Lamar Jackson in cash. I strongly believe he is the only QB on the slate with a 30+ point ceiling.
  • If you cannot afford McCaffrey, I don’t believe that is a problem – There is a TON of value at the RB position.
  • Per usual, I’ll be updating this article daily throughout the week with additions/revisions.
  • Just because someone is not included in this write-up, does not mean you cannot play them in cash. These are all just my preferred plays for an optimal cash game build.

NFL DFS Cash Games Quarterbacks

  1. Lamar Jackson ($7,700) – Jackson is part running back, part quarterback. Baltimore is hosting a Houston defense that has allowed the 6th most DraftKings points per game on the season and has struggled to generate a pass rush over the past couple of weeks (losing J.J. Watt obviously doesn’t help things).

    This game opened up with a total of 50 points and should continue to rise throughout the week. Shootout city for Lamar Jackson. He always puts up numbers with his legs, imagine what type of fantasy performance he’ll put up if this game stays close and he needs to be active in the passing game as well… By far the number one QB play on my board this week.
  2. Drew Brees ($6,900) – I have no idea what went wrong in Week 10 with Brees and this Saints offense, but I’ll bet they don’t get shut down on the road against a brutal Buccaneers’ secondary (26th in pass defense DVOA). This is another game we’ll need to attack in DFS as it opened with a 51-point total.
  3. Josh Allen ($6,600) – I wish Allen was cheaper, but he’s in play here on the road against a Miami team who ranks dead last in pass defense DVOA. Allen also provides with his rushing ability, so he should easily hit value here.
  4. Jameis Winston ($6,500) – If we think Brees and the Saints are going to put up a lot of points then we should love this potential gamescript for Jameis Winston. Winston has four straight games with 300+ passing yards and should eclipse that number again in Week 11, which is crucial for that three point bonus on DraftKings.

    P.S. – Marshon Lattimore should be out for this game with a hamstring injury.
  5. Kyle Allen ($5,300) – If you need salary relief, Kyle Allen is your guy in Week 11. The Falcons looked good in Week 10 on defense, but they still rank 31st in pass defense DVOA and the price for Allen makes a ton of sense if you’re looking to lock-in expensive studs elsewhere.

NFL DFS Cash Games Running Backs

  1. Christian McCaffrey ($10,500) – Do we need to say anything about Christian McCaffrey?
  2. Ezekiel Elliott ($9,000) – Elliott has struggled to produce in his last two games and that is obviously a bit worrisome. Detroit’s run defense looked the best it has all season in Week 10, but I still have to consider Elliott in a cash build as I’m sure Dallas will want to establish the run early in this game.
  3. Dalvin Cook ($8,900) – Dalvin Cook is clearly the number two option on my board at the running back position in Week 11. He’s in a great zone-running scheme and is heavily targeted in the Vikings’ pass game as well. Denver is a stout defense, but I’ll take the Vikings’ scheme and Cook’s talent every day.
  4. Leonard Fournette ($7,900) – The Colts rank 26th in the NFL in terms of run defense DVOA and Fournette usually gets 25+ touches a game. This one seems to be a no-brainer.
  5. Josh Jacobs ($6,900) – Jacobs is going to be a star in the NFL (if he isn’t already). Cincinatti allows a ton of receptions to opposing running backs and also rank 29th in the NFL in rushing defense DVOA. Jacobs should feast in this matchup at home as a 10-point favorite.
  6. Joe Mixon ($5,500) – Oakland has been solid against the run for most of the season, but over the past month, they’ve given up ~30 DraftKings points per game to opposing running backs. Mixon has been a let down, but it looks like the Bengals are finally starting to run him to ground (30 carries in Week 10).

    If Mixon continues to be active in the passing game as well as the running game, this is an excellent salary save type of play.
  7. James White ($5,400) – Mr. Reliable, James White. White has scored double digits in EVERY game this season on DraftKings, so we don’t need to overthink this one. Philadelphia’s run defense is solid, but they do allow opposing running backs to catch the ball out of the backfield often and that’s where James White shines.
  8. Brian Hill ($4,800) – It looks like Devonta Freeman is going to miss some time with a foot injury, so Brian Hill will jump into that RB1 role in Atlanta. Carolina is DEAD LAST in run defense DVOA as they continuously get shredded by opposing running backs on a weekly basis.

    Hill is going to be~50% owned (maybe higher) in cash games, you cannot fade him in cash. Use his salary relief to bolster your roster elsewhere.
  9. Miles Sanders ($4,100) – If Jordan Howard misses Sunday’s game due to injury, Sanders is going to have a full workload on his hands. At this price, he makes perfect sense for a cash game lineup if you need even more salary relief than what Brian Hill offers.

Wide Receivers

  1. Michael Thomas ($9,900) – I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this price tag on a wide receiver in DFS. Thomas is the McCaffrey of wide receivers. He gets it done week in and week out. Yet again, he is by far my number one receiver in DFS this week.
  2. Julian Edelman ($7,600) – Edelman is a model of consistency in PPR formats like DraftKings. He’s had double-digit targets in four straight games and should have no issues putting up another 20-point PPR outing against this Philadelphia secondary. He’s rather expensive though. I will probably just use James White at $5,400, but if you prefer Edelman, I don’t blame you.
  3. Chris Godwin ($7,300) – Our weekly game of picking on P.J. Williams. Godwin should be in for a big day in what projects to be a shootout against the Saints. Mike Evans at $7,400 is also in play, but we can’t play everyone in cash games, so Godwin gets the nod this week.
  4. Courtland Sutton ($6,000) – Denver is going to be playing from behind in this game, so that should lead to a lot of targets for Sutton. He is an excellent route runner and should have no issues getting open against a very beatable Minnesota pass defense. I wish he was priced in the mid $5k range, but Sutton deserves a high price tag as he’s gone for double-digit DraftKings’ points in all but one game this season.
  5. D.J. Moore ($5,900) – Moore is on fire lately with back-to-back 20+ point outings. The matchup against Atlanta should have him locked in for another 20+ points.
  6. Marquise Brown ($5,600) – Marquise “Hollywood” Brown should have no trouble burning this Houston secondary. Our issues in weeks’ past with Hollywood has been that he hasn’t really played in any competitive games since the beginning of the season. Houston should be able to keep this one relatively close, so I anticipate Brown finally getting eight or more targets once again.
  7. Terry McLaurin ($5,600) – Not in love with the play (especially when Tyler Boyd is $400 cheaper), but McLaurin does provide our cash lineups with some serious upside against this Jets’ secondary. We haven’t seen much out of Haskins, so playing McLaurin certainly comes with risk.
  8. Tyler Boyd ($5,200) – No A.J.Green again, and Boyd gets to see a lot of Lamarcus Joyner in the slot in Week 11? Where do we sign up?
  9. Mohamed Sanu ($5,100) – Sanu is going to see a lot of Avonte Maddox and Ronald Darby in coverage for Philadelphia… advantage Sanu. If you don’t play James White or Edelman, Sanu is an excellent cash game play.
  10. Deebo Samuel ($4,000) – If Emmanuel Sanders is out, lock in Deebo Samuel.

Tight Ends

  1. George Kittle ($7,000) – A tight-end against the Cardinals. Better yet, one of the best tight ends against the Cardinals. His price is high, but rightfully so. Keep an eye on his injury status as he was inactive in Week 10. Doubtful to play.
  2. Darren Waller ($5,500) – I’m quite interested in Waller again now that he is priced under $6k. The targets haven’t been there of late, but this should be a nice spot to get Waller going again like we saw earlier in the year.
  3. Jared Cook ($4,400) – You know what is just as good as playing a tight end against the Cardinals? Playing a tight end against the Buccaneers. Cook should be priced up in the mid $5k range, so take advantage of these savings.
  4. Greg Olsen ($3,900) – There’s nothing sexy about Greg Olsen, but he provides us with a solid floor for NFL DFS Cash Games and should have no issues getting to double digits against the Falcons’ pass defense.
  5. Ross Dwelley ($3,400) – Kittle is out, Dwelley is in play. The snaps will be there and it’s a starting tight end against the Cardinals.
  6. Dallas Goedert ($3,200) – Punt play, but an educated punt play. I strongly believe the Patriots’ are going to scheme to take away Zach Ertz and make others’ beat them. With DeSean Jackson on IR, the Eagles are going to go back to using double tight ends in the majority of their offensive snaps. That should bode well for Dallas Goedert.

    At this price, we don’t need a whole lot of production out of Goedert. Having said that, I’m confident he’ll get to double digits.

Defense/Special Teams

  1. Buffalo Bills ($3,800)
  2. Minnesota Vikings ($3,400)
  3. New York Jets ($3,100)
  4. Baltimore Ravens ($3,000)
  5. Washington Redskins ($2,800)
  6. Detroit Lions ($1,800) – Punt play for salary relief.

NFL DFS Cash Games – Week 10 Checkdown

StixPicks
written by StixPicks

Another solid week of NFL DFS Cash Games for the Win Daily Team in Week Nine – the sample lineup from last week’s Checkdown crossed the pay-line yet again in DraftKings single entry cash games (180.61 DraftKings points)! Let’s get right back to it for the Week 10 Checkdown for your NFL DFS Cash Games.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites. Please check back in on Saturday/Sunday morning for potential NFL DFS Cash Games updates!

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help NFL DFS players make the most of their investments.

Some notes on what I believe to be the “optimal” roster build for NFL DFS Cash Games. I’ll include this in all the Checkdown articles moving forward. For Week 10, please see below for my notes on roster construction:

  • There are a lot of value options at the WR position, but I strongly believe you are going to need at least one of these top-tier WRs.
  • I’m out on Kalen Ballage.
  • It appears to be impossible to fade Christian McCaffrey in any DFS lineup right now – especially cash games. Lock him in!
  • I don’t see much value in paying down at QB this week.
  • Just because someone is not included in this write-up, does not mean you cannot play them in cash. These are all just my preferred plays for an optimal cash game build.

NFL DFS Cash Games Quarterbacks

  1. Lamar Jackson ($7,300) – Jackson is part running back, part quarterback. Baltimore is a double-digit favorite on the road here so we do have to worry about this game potentially getting out of hand, but Lamar Jackson is as safe as they come in DFS cash games.
  2. Drew Brees ($6,700) – Drew Brees at home, in what should be a high scoring game (opening total of 51 points) against a terrible Atlanta secondary. Yes, please.
  3. Kyler Murray ($6,500) – Everyone torches this Tampa Bay pass defense as they are giving up the most DraftKings points to opposing quarterbacks. Kyler also provides us with some rushing yards to help raise that floor a bit. He’s certainly cash and GPP viable this week in what should be a very fast-paced, shootout style of football.
  4. Daniel Jones ($5,700) – Jones is risky, but if you need salary relief, you can certainly do worse against Daniel Jones against the Jets beat-up secondary.

NFL DFS Cash Games Running Backs

  1. Christian McCaffrey ($10,500) – Do we need to say anything about Christian McCaffrey? Locking in McCaffrey should be the first thing you do in your cash game lineups.
  2. Saquon Barkley ($8,800) – Great price for the most talented running back in the NFL. It’s going to be tough to afford both McCaffrey and Barkley, and I would 100% choose McCaffrey if I had to play one, but Barkley is cash viable.
  3. Nick Chubb ($7,000) – Another game, another 20+ touches for Nick Chubb. This guy is a volume monster and we should not worry about the return of Kareem Hunt just yet. Buffalo’s run defense is nothing to be afraid of.
  4. Marlon Mack ($7,000) – We love using running backs against this Miami defense and we love using running backs who are double-digit favorites at home. Mack checks both of those boxes.
  5. Derrick Henry ($6,400) – I don’t usually love Henry on DraftKings due to his lack of work in the passing game, but he is coming off of a monster performance against Carolina and goes up against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL (who are starting to get better as they get healthier).

    The Titans are at home against the Chiefs in Week 10 and should game-plan to get Henry 25+ touches to run clock and keep the Chiefs’ off the field as much as possible. The Chiefs got defensive tackle Chris Jones back last week and he had a huge impact in slowing down Dalvin Cook, but Henry’s price is so affordable so he is definitely in play for cash games.
  6. David Montgomery ($5,300) – Detroit is getting pounded by opposing running backs. David Montgomery is finally starting to run away with the Bears’ RB1 position and should be in store for 20+ touches this week.

    The Bears clearly can’t move the ball via the pass so they will have to lean on Montgomery here at home to keep this game close with Detroit. He’s also coming off of back-to-back 22+ DraftKings’ point outings.
  7. Devin Singletary ($5,000) – It appears as if the rookie running back has finally placed himself atop of the Bills’ RB depth chart. Singletary ran the ball 20 times last week and remained active in the Bills’ passing game as well. I don’t think we need to worry about Frank Gore taking meaningful snaps away from Singletary.
  8. Ronald Jones ($4,300) – If you need salary relief at the running back position, Ronald Jones is your man in Week 10. He’s going to be the main focus in the Bucs’ backfield for the remainder of the season and should have plenty of opportunities to score in this matchup against Arizona.

Wide Receivers

  1. Michael Thomas ($8,300) – Thomas is the McCaffrey of wide receivers. He gets it done week in and week out. He is by far my number one receiver in DFS this week.
  2. Tyreek Hill ($7,700) – If you read the cash writeup each week, you know I love to pick on this Tennessee secondary. The last two weeks we loved Mike Evans and D.J. Moore and they both smashed in this matchup. I love Hill’s chances this week to do the same.
  3. Chris Godwin ($7,300) – Patrick Peterson is an excellent shadow corner who should be assigned the duty of following Mike Evans around the field on Sunday. Evans is still in play this week, but I’ll go to Godwin in cash as Peterson rarely travels to the slot (where Godwin runs a majority of his routes from). This game is going to shoot out, so get some exposure to it.
  4. Christian Kirk ($5,200) – It was either Kirk of Larry Fitzgerald for me. I like Kirk’s upside way more as it appears Larry Fitzgerald is finally slowing down with old age. This is a great matchup against the Tampa Bay secondary so I’m going to go with the receiver with more upside, Christian Kirk.
  5. Sammy Watkins ($5,100) – Similar matchup as why we love Tyreek Hill so much. If you need salary relief and can’t afford Hill, use Watkins.
  6. Marquise Brown ($5,100) – We may need a high flyer if we’re paying down at so many spots to afford CMC and Michael Thomas.
  7. Jamison Crowder ($5,000) – The “little guy” from the Jets finally got his groove back with Sam Darnold in Week Nine against the Dolphins. Crowder should be able to get open early and often against Giants’ slot cornerbacks, Corey Ballentine and Grant Haley (who are not good in coverage).
  8. DeVante Parker ($4,800) – Four straight weeks of double-digit DraftKings’ outings for Devante Parker. Fitzpatrick being under center has certainly raised Parker’s value and he should continue to get seven or more targets a game. Miami will fall behind early in this game against the Colts and that should really help Parker’s chances of getting a strong volume from Fitzpatrick.

    Preston Williams is also out for the season… it should be #ParkerSzn.
  9. Tyler Boyd ($4,700) – Boyd is averaging over 10 targets a game. I don’t think there is anyone priced under $5,500 that has that sort of guaranteed volume, so Boyd is without-a-doubt in play for cash games.

    If A.J. Green were to return, I’m still fine with using Boyd in cash (I may even prefer it). The Bengals are going to be down early against the Ravens so Boyd should see another heavy workload in the passing game.
  10. A.J. Brown (4,300) – I’m starting to like the rapport A.J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill are building together. I don’t love this play at all, but if Kansas City gets ahead early, Tennessee will have to abandon the run-first focus they usually have with Derrick Henry. If you’re a believer in the potential game script of Kansas City scoring early and often, A.J. Brown makes a ton of sense at this price.

Tight Ends

  1. Travis Kelce ($6,400) – If you can afford him, you can always play him in cash. The floor with Kelce is probably higher than any other tight end in the field, but so is his price.
  2. Austin Hooper ($5,500) – Hooper has put up double digit DraftKings points in all but one game this season. His price is affordable and he should continue to be a focal point of this Atlanta offense as they play from behind in New Orleans.
  3. Cameron Brate ($3,700) & O.J. Howard ($3,300)- I’ll probably take Brate out later in the week if his injury status becomes more clear. He barely played last week in Seattle, so obviously, something is off. If he’s out, O.J. Howard is just your classic tight end against the Cardinals play… although there is very little data on the Bucs’ side that supports playing Howard.
  4. Greg Olsen ($3,600) – If we’re paying down at tight end, I strongly prefer Olsen in this spot against the Packers than I do messing around with Cameron Brate or O.J. Howard.
  5. Jack Doyle ($3,600) – Same as last week… when T.Y. Hilton is out, these Indianapolis tight ends get a solid bump up in my projections. There’s nothing sexy here about Jack Doyle, but he should hit value for us in cash games with Brian Hoyer under center.
  6. Mike Gesicki ($3,100) – Punt play if you need more salary relief. Gesicki is coming off of the best game of his career and should be able to ride that momentum into Week 10 against the Colts. Preston Williams is out for the season with a torn ACL, so there are a lot of red-zone targets to be had for Gesicki.

Defense/Special Teams

  1. Baltimore Ravens ($4,000)
  2. New Orleans Saints ($3,700)
  3. Indianapolis Colts ($3,500)
  4. Los Angeles Rams ($3,000)
  5. Buffalo Bills ($2,900)
  6. New York Giants ($2,800)
  7. Tennessee Titans ($2,000) – Punt play if Patrick Mahomes is out.
