Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8200 DK 7500 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 24.46 DK - 25.05 Though they are 8-5, the Ravens are still very much in a fight for their playoff lives over the home stretch of the season. Luckily, they get a dream matchup in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars who rank dead last in the league in defensive DVOA and are slightly worse against the pass than the run. Jackson has 50 or more rushing yards in each of the last seven weeks and 218 in just the last two weeks. In that span, he has five rushing touchdowns after only scoring one in the first five weeks. We’ve seen a return to the 2019 fantasy Lamar Jackson and he has the highest floor of any quarterback this week. It will cost you, but for cash games it hard to get much safer than Jackson against the Jags this week. Jalen Hurts FD 6900 DK 5900 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 19.77 DK - 20.83 We wrote Hurts up as a cash game play in Week 14, especially on DraftKings where he was coming very cheap. It paid off. In his first game as a starter, taking over for Carson Wentz, Hurts led the Eagles to a stunning upset over the New Orleans Saints and their top-2 defense. Hurts wasn’t all that efficient through the air, completing only 57% of his passes (17-30) but he did throw a touchdown. Where he really put it up was on the ground, carrying the ball 18 times and piling on 108 yards. That should be the plan this week as well. The matchup against the Cardinals is more favorable than New Orleans, but this is still a top-10 defense. That being said, Hurts’s ability to run gives you a solid baseline and the DraftKings price is still sub-$7k. Taysom Hill FD 7500 DK 6000 Opponent KCProj Points FD - 22.89 DK - 23.65 We liked Hill for cash as well last week and things were looking real rough to start against the Eagles. Hill was as bad as humanly possible in the first half. But, while playing from behind in the second half he managed to dial things up and finished with 291 yards passing and two touchdowns. This week should be another chance to...

Quarterback Daniel Jones FD 6800 DK 5500 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 17.35 DK - 18.11 Daniel Jones' status is largely unknown heading into the weekend, and carrying a questionable tag for Sunday's tilt with the Cardinals. If he plays, I don't mind running Evan Engram in any format. Heck, Jones himself might be playable at these prices on DraftKings if he has a clean bill of health. If he sits, the entire Giants' passing game is unplayable. Running Back Christian McCaffrey FD 10000 DK 9200 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 McCaffrey appears set to miss another week, opening up room for Mike Davis to shoulder the entire running back load once again. Davis was a highly owned cash game option earlier in the season, but the shine sort of came off him after McCaffrey returns. With 21 touches in each of his last two games, it's hard to argue that he's not seeing RB1 level touches. The Panthers are 3 point favorites in this one, and Davis should be in line for RB1 touches once again. Chris Carson FD 7700 DK 6900 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 14.23 DK - 15.44 The word on Carson is that the Seahawks hope to ease him back toward a full workload, which unfortunately means it will be tough to depend on him for DFS purposes in cash games. Still, he managed 19 opportunities last week against the Giants, and could be in line for even more if the Seahawks have the commanding lead Vegas projects them for here. It's hard to imagine him getting elite, 25+ touches, but he could be a great big tournament option on the basis of his goalline touches alone here. Josh Jacobs FD 7400 DK 6300 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 12.36 DK - 13.53 Jacobs was a limited participant in practice this week, which is a step up from where he was heading into last weekend. Unfortunately we likely won't know Jacobs' status before lineup lock at 1pm, but if we do, we should be prepared. Devontae Booker would be a cash game consideration if Jacobs were to sit, though as we saw last week, opportunity does not necessarily mean production for the Raiders' back-up running back. D'Andre Swift FD 6900 DK 6500 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 0 DK...

DFS NFL Podcast - Week 14 cash game podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Enjoy our week 14 NFL cash game podcast, where Doug and James tell you all you need to know about the cash game plays on the main slate for NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL, NHL and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW!   James and Doug are back to take an early look at cash game plays for week 14 on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a weird week for DFS, with very little value to support paying up at some key positions. Doug and James break down how lineups might look different this week than usual. Can we consider going cheap with Jalen Hurts on DraftKings, or should we just pay up for a safer option like Russell Wilson? Running back is odd as well, with Derrick Henry being the obvious big money play, and a bunch of question marks after that. We have James Robinson and Myles Gaskin, but both of them are 7+ point underdogs. Aaron Jones has a great projected game script, but he's likely in a timeshare once again. We're basically just hoping for value to crop up later in the week at this point. Wide receiver is the first position that presents us with exciting options, with both Michael Thomas and Brandon Aiyuk looking comically under-priced at this point. The position rounds out nicely with the Houston situation, and even Corey Davis is AJ Brown were to miss this week. At tight end, we're basically deciding between Travis Kelce, Mike Gesicki, and possibly Anthony Firkser. Right now it looks like our optimizer is prioritizing Kelce, but that could change as the week develops. Love the DFSR podcast? Go ahead and subscribe and listen wherever you get your daily podcasts.

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14

Posted by on Dec 9, 2020 in featured, News, Weekly Fantasy Football Picks |

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time we're offering a free one week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Russell Wilson FD 9000 DK 7900 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 24.27 DK - 24.76 After throwing for touchdowns on what seemed like every pass to start the season, Wilson has slowed down considerably over the last few games. In his last five, he has only six total touchdowns and five interceptions. The Seahawks are 2-3 in that stretch. But this is a bounce back opportunity against the Jets who’ve been destroyed through the air this year. They rank dead last against the pass and allow the second-most yards per pass attempt. They’ve allowed more than 25 DraftKings points to QBs in four of the last five weeks. This is a smash spot for Wilson who remains expensive but is still a cash game play this week. Taysom Hill FD 7700 DK 6600 Opponent PHIProj Points FD - 21.83 DK - 22.5 It looks like Drew Brees is still anoter week from returning meaning Taysom Hill will spend another game under center. Hill is QB6 in FanDuel over the last three weeks and that includes a game against Denver in which the Saints took their foot completely off the gas in the second half. In the last three weeks, he’s averaged 11 carries and 59 yards on the ground, scoring four touchdowns along the way. And he’s been efficient through the air when asked to put the ball up, completing 68% of his passes, finally getting his first throwing touchdown last week. The Eagles defense ranks 15th on the season, but are much worse against the pass at 24th in DVOA. This is still a fine time to grab Hill who has such a high floor because of the rushing ability. Jalen Hurts FD 6600 DK 5100 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 15.69 DK - 16.63 Let’s do this thing, shall we? Hurts will take over for Carson Wentz a week after it was speculated he’d take the reins for Philly. But after Wentz struggled once again, Hurts came in against the Packers and Doug Pederson waited only a day to name him the starter for Week 14. Hurts was inefficient, going 5-12 but did throw for 109 yards and a touchdown. He added, almost more importantly, 29 yards on the ground on five carries. It’s the rushing ability at this price point on DraftKings...

Injury analysis for week 13 of NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings

Posted by on Dec 4, 2020 in featured, Injuries, News |

Injury analysis for week 13 of NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings Welcome to our weekly injury analysis article! There aren't as many show-stopping injuries as there have been in some weeks, but there is still plenty going on, so let's get right to it. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterback Daniel Jones FD 7100 DK 5500 Opponent SEA Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Jones has been missing practice this week with a hamstring injury, relegated to doing independent drills on the sideline. Currently, it's believed that he won't suit up against the Seahawks, leaving the quarterbacking duties to Cold McCoy. McCoy himself is not a play by any stretch, and his being under center certainly takes the shine off of potential cash game play Evan Engram. Still, Engram caught two of McCoy's 10 attempts last week, so he shouldn't be ruled out entirely given how shallow tight end is once again. Tua Tagovailoa FD 6700 DK 5900 Opponent CIN Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Tua has been limited in practice this week after missing last week's tilt with the Jets, but things appear to be trending in the direction of him playing in this one vs. Cincinnati. Even when he's started, Tua hasn't exactly been an explosive DFS quarterback, so I'm not sure how much his return totally matters for our purposes. Receivers like Davante Parker probably prefer Fitzpatrick being under center, though it's close enough that Tua's status doesn't effect our projections in the passing game too dramatically. Running Back Dalvin Cook FD 10500 DK 9500 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 22.74 DK - 24.06 Cook has been practicing in a limited fashion all week, and while it appears as though he's going to play, his injury should at least give you pause if you're considering investing this much salary in him. It's a great match-up with a great prospective game-script, though, and no one would fault you for running him out there if it appears he's in line for his usual run this Sunday. Chris Carson FD 8000 DK 6300 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 11.42 DK - 12.63 On paper, this should be a smash spot for Chris Carson and the Seattle running game, but it's not totally clear to me that they have any plans of turning the whole workload over to Carson just yet. He took just 37% of the offensive snaps last week, and he's been limited in practice all week with...

DFS NFL Podcast – Week 13 cash game podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW!   James and Doug are back to take an early look at cash game plays for week 13 on FanDuel and DraftKings. The NFL is nothing if not strange right now, with COVID causing us to have a tightened schedule for Sunday's games. As a result, we have a thinner slate than usual to draw our plays from. Quarterback presents some interesting options, all with their own flaws, with Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, and Taysom Hill leading the pack for us right now. Running back has one automatic play in Austin Ekeler, and then several speculative options. Dalvin Cook will be highly owned if he gets a clean bill of health, but after that, we're monitoring a number of situations to see if any cheap value springs loose. Wide receiver is probably the best value spot of the week, with Michael Thomas and Brandin Cooks being far too cheap for their current opportunity, and even guys like Keke Coutee if you want to go deep into punts. Tight end gives us decent midrange options in Hunter Henry and Evan Engram, and little else, so it looks like that position is fairly locked in right now. Love the DFSR podcast?
