Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8200 DK 7400 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 26.51 DK - 27.26 After a massive Monday night performance against the Colts, Lamar Jackson is now the third-highest scoring player on DraftKings through the first five weeks of the season behind only Derrick Henry and weirdly Tom Brady. Jackson provides so much floor on his scoring simply because the Ravens just run the ball so much with him. In fact, he is 8th overall in the NFL in rushing yards total. It’s an unreal feat for a quarterback. Plus, he’s averaging more than 300 yards passing per game to boot. This is a pretty easy call and the game could be a higher scoring one against the Chargers who rank 31st in defensive DVOA against the rush. This is a perfect spot for Lamar. Taylor Heinicke FD 7300 DK 5800 Opponent KCProj Points FD - 19.38 DK - 20.21 Going a little off-board with this one, but things line up pretty well for Heinecke in this game. For starters, the Chiefs rank dead last in defensive DVOA this season, having been brutalized week in and week out through the first five games. There aren’t many paths for them to get significantly better either. Heinecke is coming pretty cheap on DraftKings and does have a higher floor considering how he scores points. He’s averaged more than 25 yards on the ground since becoming the starter and has been significantly more efficient over the last two weeks through the air, completing 73% of his passes in that stretch. The matchup is just so good here and he is coming cheap. Running Backs Jonathan Taylor FD 7500 DK 6600 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 18.5 DK - 20.25 Houston has been a funnel defense on the season, ranking 9th against the pass, but 30th against the run. That bodes well for Taylor here who does remain the touch leader out of the backfield for the Colts. I don’t love the snap share considering Indy has been fine rolling out three running backs, but he is averaging about 14 carries and three targets per game this season. It’s just so hard to pass up on this matchup with the Colts coming in as -9.5 home favorites against the Texans. Darrel Williams FD 5200 DK 4900 Opponent WASProj Points FD -...

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 5

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 and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 22.06 Don’t look now, but Daniel Jones is fantasy QB7 on the season through the first four weeks. It’s thanks to a couple of things working in the third year’s favor. For starters, he’s increased his accuracy to 67%, up from 61% the last two seasons. And it’s come from actually throwing the ball downfield with more accuracy, ranking third overall in average completed air yards per NFL Next Gen stats. And he also ranks third overall in quarterback rushing yards behind only Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. From a fantasy perspective, Jones is putting it together this season and should be playing from behind against the Cowboys on Sunday. Ryan Tannehill FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.78 DK - 21.42 Yes, Ryan Tannehill and the Titans lost to the lowly Jets in Week 4, a brutal loss for a team that has stumbled out of the block early. But they draw another easy matchup in Week 5 against the Jags who, unlike the Jets, have been completely terrible on defense this season. Jacksonville ranks 30th in defensive DVOA and dead last against the pass. It sure looks like we can stack Tannehill and Henry (see below) in cash and feel pretty good about it leading into Sunday. Running Backs Derrick Henry FD 10400 DK 9000 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 24.42 DK - 25.83 The usage has been borderline insane the last couple of years and this season is making those years like total child’s play. Through four games Henry has 128 total touches (rushes + targets) which is 36 more than the next-closest guy (Joe Mixon). Basically, Henry has played something like 1.5 more elite touch games than anyone else. It’s nuts. The wheels have to come off at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. Things are lining up for another million touches in this game and he’s a tough fade, especially on DraftKings ay $9K. Ezekiel Elliott FD 8000 DK 7000 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 19.15 DK - 20.13 The good news on Zeke is that in a downhill game last week against the Panthers he played 75% of the offensive snaps and put up a whopping 143 yards on 20 carries. He only saw...

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 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 and MLB (NBA and NHL coming soon) - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8500 DK 8000 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 26.65 DK - 27.43 After a couple of mediocre weeks for Allen to start the season, he blew it out of the box in Week 3 against Washington and looked very much like one of the best fantasy (and real-life) quarterbacks in the league again. Allen completed 74% of his passes, something that wasn’t happening in the first couple of games, and finished with 358 yards and four touchdowns. He didn’t need to get out and run as much as the first couple of games, but we know it’s in his bag. This should be a cakewalk for the Bills against the Texans and there is some blowout risk. But frankly, that happened in Week 3 and Allen was still the best quarterback on the week. Jalen Hurts FD 7900 DK 6900 Opponent KCProj Points FD - 22.12 DK - 22.95 I much prefer the DraftKings price here on Hurts going against the Chiefs in a game that’s tied for the highest total (54.5). From a fantasy perspective, Hurts has been solid in two of the first three weeks, ranking as QB8 in DraftKings scoring. He has the second-most quarterback rushing yards on the season with 179 (15th overall in the league) and has gotten into the end zone once as well. This is a fantasy smash spot for Hurts if the Eagles are playing from behind and the damage he does on the ground makes up for some inconsistency through the air. Again, this is more a DraftKings play than anything else, but he has a high floor at $6900. Running Backs Derrick Henry FD 10200 DK 8800 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 23.11 DK - 24.51 This is about as perfect a situation for a running back as you can get. First off, the Jets stink and the Titans are -7.5 road favorites. Second of all, while New York’s defense hasn’t been nearly as bad as the offense, running backs have still been able to put up yards against them because they are mostly running downhill after their team is up early. And then there is Henry who somehow already has 92 touches through the first three weeks. He’s racked up 353 yards and three touchdowns on the ground adding...

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 and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 7800 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 27.02 DK - 27.77 Through the first two weeks of the season, Lamar Jackson has the second-most rushing yards in the league behind only Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon. He’s gotten the ground game going early and often and is coming off a huge come-from-behind victory over the Chiefs on Sunday night. The Ravens are likely riding high coming into this one against the Lions and are -8 road favorites. Going into Detroit I’m not as worried about the blowout and the Ravens are likely to continue just sticking with Jackson as the primary option. He’s got such a high floor based on how he scores points and should be the safest cash quarterback on this slate. Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 5800 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 21.66 DK - 22.46 Daniel Jones is QB8 on DraftKings through the first two weeks, getting by mostly on his legs. In the first two games, Jones has the second-most rushing yards among quarterbacks, trailing only the aforementioned Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. He’s gotten slightly more accurate this season and is averaging more yards per attempt as well. He’s facing an Atlanta defense that’s been brutalized on the defensive side of the ball so far this season and the Giants are -3 home favorites in this one. Jones is coming at a really advantageous DraftKings price and I think we can consider him in cash games there. Running Backs Dalvin Cook FD 9500 DK 8400 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 22.65 DK - 24.81 It’s not a total surprise, but through two weeks Dalvin Cook is 4th overall in usage in 6th overall in total yards from scrimmage. And this included games with the Vikings trailing AND a brief exit in Week 2 with an injury. He is just the guy for Minnesota, and is priced as such. This game has a massive 55.5 total and a thin spread with the Seahawks -2 road favorites. I love Cook’s DraftKings price and think he is a pretty easy play over there considering the potential game script and how the Vikings use him in the offense. It’s a little closer on FanDuel, but still think you can pay all the up over there. Darrell Henderson Jr. FD 6300 DK 5900...

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 and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Justin Herbert FD 7600 DK 6700 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 24.49 DK - 25.18 The Chargers and Cowboys have the highest implied total of the slate at 55 and this one could turn into a real shootout. Herbert had to throw 47 times in the opener against the Washington Football Team, squeaking out a win on the road. Now, they are back at home and hosting the Cowboys who look like they are just going to play in track meets all season. Herbert could be a popular option on the game script alone and it helps that he still gets out and runs a bit. Josh Allen FD 8100 DK 7200 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 25.3 DK - 26.02 There are a couple of really good quarterback options this week, which will likely be the case the whole season considering how much these guys are throwing. And honestly, Allen might go a bit overlooked here even though we are only one week into the season. That’s because he struggled some against the Steelers in Week 1 throwing for *only* 270 yards on a whopping 51 attempts. That is an inefficient number and the offense looked out of sorts at times. But this is a dude coming off a peak season and the Bills have one of the highest implied totals on the slate. I’m going back to the well here considering you can save a few hundred off of Kyler Murray. Remember, the latter’s team ran the ball a whopping 28 times in the win on Sunday. There will be no such issue with the Bills in that department. Teddy Bridgewater FD 7000 DK 5400 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.02 DK - 20.84 If you are looking for a lower-cost option, especially on DraftKings in order to spend up for some of the skill position guys below, then Bridgewater is an interesting option. He completed 77% of his passes in Week 1, the first with the Broncos, and went for 264 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants. And now he’s facing the Jags who just allowed 291 yards and two touchdowns plus another 40 on the ground to Tyrod Taylor and the lowly Texans. We might be able to pick on Jacksonville all season long. Running Backs Chris Carson FD 6700 DK 6100 Opponent...

Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes FD 8800 DK 8100 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 25.72 DK - 26.3 Let’s start off the season with some safety. I don’t really need to go about explaining why Mahomes is the top quarterback to run to start the season. He is just about as good as it gets in the game and returns his two top weapons in Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Last year Mahomes finished second overall in passing yards despite playing one fewer game than the rest of the top group and his 38 TDs to six INTS was second-most efficient among quarterbacks after Aaron Rodgers. This could be a pace-down matchup for the Chiefs considering how much the Browns like to run the ball, but again we are getting the best quarterback in the game. But the Chiefs have the highest implied total on the main slate for a good reason. Ryan Tannehill FD 7700 DK 6500 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 20.86 DK - 21.45 While Tannehill wasn’t in the very upper tier of fantasy quarterbacks, it wasn’t for lack of efficiency. His 33 touchdowns to seven interceptions was among the best in the league, with the former number sitting seventh in the league. That doesn’t sound all that great until you realize his overall attempts were 18th in the league. When he put the ball in the air, good things happened. And there is reason to suspect the Titans do more of that this season. They brought in Julio Jones for a reason and it’s hard to imagine Derrick Henry keeping up the insane, on the ground, usage, he’s had over the last few. This is a good spot against the Cardinals in what projects to be a high-scoring game. Strongly consider Kyler Murray going up against those Titans.  Running Backs Dalvin Cook FD 9400 DK 9100 Opponent CINProj Points FD - 22.08 DK - 23.86 Cook was behind only Derrick Henry in terms of carries and yards last season though that would have been closer had the former not missed two games. He still was awesome, racking up 1,557 yards on the ground and another 361 through the air. He still doesn’t factor into the passing game as much as you would like, but his big-play ability is second to none. In terms of DVOA, the Bengals had the...
