Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8800 DK 7500 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 22.71 DK - 22.71 It can feel weird paying all the way up for quarterback on these NFL DFS slates, though it does get a bit easier to do so on FanDuel than DraftKings. There is just a class of guys considerably safer than the rest of the pack, mostly because of the overall rushing attempts and ability to keep the scoring floor higher because of what they can do on the ground. Lamar Jackson is one of those guys, Jalen Hurts is another. Jackson ran a whopping 16 times in the first game of the season, just five in Week 2 against the Raiders. But this is a core part of his game, making up for the lower completion percentage (63%) so far to start the year. The Ravens have the second-highest implied total on the slate heading into Dallas who just got shredded in Week 2. Baker Mayfield FD 7700 DK 6300 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 18.97 DK - 18.97 We usually default to running quarterbacks in cash games, for some of the reasons listed with Lamar Jackson, but there is a case for Baker Mayfield here. He's facing off against the Broncos who've been bad on defense, ranking 6th-worst in defensive DVOA through the first two weeks. Mayfield ranks first in QB fantasy scoring through two weeks, is completing 74% of his passes, and has taken off on the ground eight times through three games. I don't mind the floor here and he fits right into that pricing middle ground at the position. Deshaun Watson FD 7300 DK 5500 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 20.16 DK - 20.16 Ok, I know, but stick with me here. The Giants stink on defense, and Deshaun Watson is coming very cheap on DraftKings. Where QB savings really matters on that site, I don't mind punting the position from time to time. The completion percentage (58%) is garbage, but there are still weapons here. He does take off and run as well. Again, this is more about the matchup than the actual player. Running Back Alvin Kamara FD 8400 DK 7500 Opponent PHI Proj Points FD - 19.95 DK - 22.29 Through two weeks, Alvin Kamara is the leader in DraftKings scoring (69), and it isn't even close. He's nearly a full decent RB...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Fred VanVleet FD - $8300 DK - $8300Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 46.52 DK - 49.19 The Rockets were already without Alperen Sengun, and now won’t have Jabari Smith Jr. following his one-game suspension. That’s going to leave a lot of shots and production open against one of the worst teams in basketball. So basically, this is the perfect spot to stack everyone playing on Houston. Fred VanVleet had struggled a bit in the scoring department, but broke out of it last game, going 11-16 from the field and finishing with 34 points against the Jazz. That will be on the high end of expectation, but his price is just too low on both sites considering the context around this Houston team. Jalen Green FD - $8500 DK - $8800Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 45.09 DK - 49.02 Jalen Green is on such a heater right now, taking a total leap since Sengun left the lineup, and leading the Rockets on their current eight-game winning streak. Over the last five games, Green is averaging 34.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and four assists, taking more than 20 shots per game. It’s a leap for sure, and we actually still probably haven’t hit the right price point for him. Having FVV and Green as the core of cash games is almost certainly the right move here and they will be popular on both sites. Miles McBride FD - $5900 DK - $5400Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 34.55 DK - 36.22 It’s hard to argue with a guy who plays 48 minutes a game, something Mile “Deuce” McBride did last game against the Nets. In fact, over the last three games, McBride has only *not* played in five minutes. This is basically insane in modern basketball, something that no player ever does. And yet, here we are. He has scored 26, 11, and 29 points in those affairs, getting hot in two games from beyond the arc. He actually doesn’t do tons on the rebounds and assists front, but you really just can’t bet against the crazy minutes. Even coming off the bench, Dalano Banton (FD 5600 DK...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12800 DK - $12700Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 65.87 DK - 70.9 The Mavericks come in as huge favorites in this one, -12.5 against the Jazz who are clearly in tank mode. That being said, it’s such a good matchup for Luka Doncic and the rest of Dallas that we have to strongly consider playing him in cash even at these high prices. He’s triple-doubled in eight of his last ten games, averaging 32/10.6/10 over the month of March. It’s an elite run, unlike much else we’ve seen from a fantasy perspective. If there are any savings at all throughout the rest of the slate (and there will be), then Luka makes as high floor a play as you can make. De'Aaron Fox FD - $9600 DK - $9300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 50.52 DK - 53.35 If you don’t want to pay through the nose for Luka and can stomach the fade, then De'Aaron Fox and the Kings guys are in as good a spot as you can get for a DFS slate. They play the Wizards, who aren’t only the worst defensive efficiency team in the league but also run the fastest pace as well. If the game can stay close (a big “if”), then Fox should see high 30s minutes, putting up shots in the high teens. He’s had some ceiling games of late for sure, and this matchup is just too good to pass up. Miles McBride FD - $5200 DK - $4700Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 28.16 DK - 30.23 Miles McBride got the start last game with OG Anunoby back on the shelf and should again here on Thursday. In true Tom Thibodeau fashion, Deuce went out and basically ran the entire time. He played 47 in regulation, finishing with 29 points on 9-13 shooting. Now, it should be mentioned that there was very little else to speak of, tallying just two assists and a rebound in all that time. That’s at least a little concerning, but you really just can’t argue with that many minutes from anyone at these price points. If Giannis...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Immanuel Quickley FD - $8500 DK - $8600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 43.2 DK - 47.26 The Raptors are still without RJ Barrett for this game, and of course, Scottie Barnes is basically out for the rest of the season. Immanuel Quickley should see a steady diet of on-ball time and the results have been fantastic with him in a lead ball handler role. He’s taken 21 and 19 shots over the last two games, averaging 21 points and 10 assists over his last six games. This is a pretty easy play even in a tougher matchup against the Orlando Magic on Friday. Bones Hyland FD - $4100 DK - $4300Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 26.45 DK - 29.37 James Harden looks like he’s going to sit out again on Friday after missing Thursday’s game against the Bulls with Bones Hyland getting the start. The latter was chalk on both sites, crushing his projection in a big way with 17 points, 11 assists, and four steals. The shooting was a little run hot (6-9 FG, 4-7 3PT), but the 32 minutes are encouraging. They should be there again for him tonight. This is an easy play considering the price didn’t really move. Gradey Dick FD - $5300 DK - $5200Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 25.75 DK - 28.4 If Gary Trent remains out, I think we are still getting moderate value on Gradey Dick here who has been starting, running 30+ minutes in each of the last four games. During that time, he’s putting up 11.5 points on double-digit attempts per game. He needs to knock down threes to really hit a ceiling, but that is for sure in his range of outcomes. Small Forward Paul George FD - $8200 DK - $8000Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 44.17 DK - 47.69 As with Bones Hyland, it looks like James Harden could sit out again, meaning Paul George would see a usage spike. Now, that didn’t totally come to fruition on Thursday, putting up just 12 shots in 35 minutes. He did make 11 of them, scorching from the field. It’s a back-to-back, so...
