Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 15
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 15 Well we don't have any teams on byes this week, but we still have a relatively small main slate thanks to several key teams playing on different slates. We're running low on running back value all of a sudden, but we do have plenty of diamonds in the rough at wide receiver (and even quarterback) to keep you living the running back life of luxury that you've become accustomed to. All in all, it's looking like a good slate to keep our NFL hot streak alive.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Dak Prescott FD 7300 DK 5500 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 18.51 DK - 19.25 We're officially in a world where Dak Prescott just helped people win the largest big tournaments of the week. And he's still incredibly cheap! But a lot of analysts are saying you shouldn't trust a one week sample size, so what do we believe here? Well, I'd argue that we're not actually looking at a one week sample size. Yes, the explosive connection to Cooper did seem to come out of nowhere, and you can't count on 400+ passing yards from Dak (or anyone) in a given week, but there have been signs that he's been a great DFS quarterback on these prices for a while. Dak has quietly returned to 2016 form this season, in spite of having a significantly worse supporting cast for most of it. He's completed 68% of his passes, averaged 7.5 yards per attempt, and is on pace to exceed his career bests in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He scored 26 and 27 fantasy points against the Eagles and Redskins, respectively, and has a similarly cushy match-up with the Colts this week. He's also priced around Josh Allen, Marcus Mariota, and Ryan Tannehill. I'm happy to play Dak anywhere this week. Ben Roethlisberger FD 8600 DK 6600 Opponent NE Proj Points FD - 20.67 DK - 21.54 It's not especially likely that I'll pay up for cash games at QB this week, but enough value presents itself, I think I'd go back to the well with Roethlisberger. Big Ben looked incredibly sharp against Oakland last week, completing 25 of 29 passes for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns. Opposing teams at...

Los Angeles Chargers Quarterback - Phillip Rivers Primary Target - Keenan Allen Secondary Target - Mike Williams To start Week 14 I used two filters looking at quarterbacks projected for 40 or more pass attempts facing defenses ranks 25th or worse against the pass. This narrowed the field down to just two players and I will start with Phillip Rivers and the Chargers for a couple of reasons. First of all, with Melvin Gordon is out once again and without him, the Chargers have somewhat gotten away from their balanced pass/run attack and this was evident last week as they threw the ball 62% of the time against the Steelers with Rivers coming just one yard short of 300 with two touchdowns. While Rivers ranks 15th in pass attempts this season he sits 7th in passing yards thanks to a 69.7% completion rate and 9.0 yards per attempt. He is also the only quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns in every game this season. The Chargers now face a Bengals team that has given up the second-most passing yards per game(279.8) and the most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. The argument against Rivers this week is the fact the Chargers are such heavy favorites(-14) and could lean more on their run game but I am willing to take the risk as that could affect his ownership in GPP formats. Looking at FanShareSports, that checks out as Rivers is currently 9th in tags(15) and projected for around 4-6% ownership. You will definitely not get an ownership discount on Keenan Allen(2nd in WR tags with 30) this week as he is coming off a whopping 19 target game and leads all wideouts with an average of 11.8 over the last four games. That doesn't mean he isn't a good play, however, as he should be able to burn the Bengals secondary. If you are looking for a cheaper, lower-owned option to pair with Rivers consider...
