GPP Leverage Plays for Daily Fantasy NFL Week 9 on FanDuel and DraftKings Welcome back football fans. The boys went over their top Cash Game Plays earlier in the week and also broke down every single game on the Mega Podcast.

Christian McCaffrey FD 9700 DK 10000 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 22.39 DK - 24.62 With Dalvin Cook, Lev Bell, and even Aaron Jones coming with a big discount and in much better matchups I think this is another situation where we can get the best fantasy player in the NFL outside the Top 5 in ownership at the position. He was sub 15% on DraftKings last week facing arguably the best defense in the league(SF) and still put up 30 DraftKings/25 FanDuel points. On the season, he has provided an elite floor leading the league with 25.7 touches and 154 scrimmage yards per game. As you would expect, the upside is also through the roof as he has shown us 5x upside on DK/4.5x upside on FD and while the Titans rank 2nd in DVOA vs. the rush, they have struggled against pass-catching backs allowing the 7th most receiving yards to the position. By no means do I think CMac comes as low owned s last week but I think he is still sub 20% and outside the Top at the position making him a terrific pivot in GPP formats. *Update - McCaffrey has seen some big trends up in tag counts since I wrote this piece but still feel he will be lower owned than the options I mentioned* Courtland Sutton FD 6400 DK 5800 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 11.41 DK - 13.49 If you are looking for ultra-low ownership this week for large GPP's, Courtland Sutton is surrounded by wideouts(D.K. Metcalf, Tyrell Williams, Marvin Jones, John Brown) who will garner 10-15% ownership. Adding to the projected low ownership is the fact Sutton lost his starting quarterback, Joe Flacco, for the season leaving a fairly unknown Brandon Allen under...

They look at quarterback first where the decision to play Russell Wilson might be an easier one. He is in a great matchup and has been among the very best fantasy quarterbacks this season. But they also take a look at a couple of other guys as well. At running back is where the decisions get very interesting. There are a number of good plays on this slate with high usage guys, pay up options, and even a cheap dude who appears will take over lead back duties. They wade through all of the options. And finally wide receiver has a number of the big target guys off the main slate this week. That might mean going cheaper at the position to fit some of the bellcow running...
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 9 – 11/3/19
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 9 - 11/3/19 Week 9 is upon us! DFSR split last week on FanDuel and DraftKings, moving our season long record for main slate cash games to a respectable 10-4-1. With a couple of chalk plays going away heading into week 9, can we still find the same exploitable strategies? I say yes. 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 8600 DK 7100 Opponent TB Proj Points FD - 22.28 DK - 22.88 Look, Wilson is having an MVP-caliber season so recommending him in cash games again isn’t going out on any kind of metaphoric limb. But the obviousness of the play doesn’t preclude us from making it. He’s second overall in DraftKings QB scoring this season and has thrown 17 touchdowns to only one interception. His 8.51 yards per attempts are the fourth-most among quarterbacks who’ve attempted more than 200 passes this season while also being serviceable on the ground. He has 182 rushing yards with three TDs, tied for second-most in the league. Tampa Bay has something of a funnel defense, ranking first against the run, but 25th against the pass. This could lend itself to more passing attempts from Wilson. The overall volume for Wilson is the only thing “holding him back” seeing as how he ranks 13th in passing attempts. It’s a testament to how freaking efficient this dude is when he actually throws the ball. I suspect we see high ownership on Wilson on both sites. Aaron Rodgers FD 8100 DK 6900 Opponent LAC Proj Points FD - 20.32 DK - 21.04 After some lower output weeks to start the season, Rodgers has turned the clock back over the last three games. He’s averaged 339 passing yards per game in that stretch with a 10:1 TD:INT rate and has even scrambled for 45 yards on the ground. The Chargers are a bottom-third DVOA defense on the season and rank 28th against the pass. What’s even more about Rodgers’ recent run is that he’s doing it without his best wide receiver in Davante Adams. The latter is expected to return for Week 9 after missing the last four weeks. This, theoretically, should give the passing game an added boost and though I prefer Wilson in a similar price range Rodgers makes for an excellent cash game play. The Cheaper Options I great prefer Wilson, and to...

They roll through every game looking at the differen matchups, injury news, betting lines, cash vs. GPP plays and much more. There are a lot of high totals and big spreads this week with a bunch of good teams playing bad ones. Six teams, the Patriots, Saints, Lions, Texans, Seahawks and Rams all have implied totals of 28 or higher. That's about as many as you'll ever see. The guys try to make sense of these big numbers along with some of the moves that were made during the trade deadline. They talk about the Rams with Todd Gurley, if the Seahawks can bounce back after a loss to the Ravens, whether the Saints are really this good without Drew Brees and the Patriots potentially dismantling the Browns. All of this and more on a packed DFS...
