Quarterbacks Deshaun Watson FD 8000 DK 6800 Opponent GBProj Points FD - 22.44 DK - 23.22 Bill O’Brien was fired after Week 4 and that move has had a nearly 1:1 effect on unlocking Watson’s fantasy potential similar to what we saw last season. In the last two games, since the firing, Watson has thrown for 359 and 335 yards respectively while also putting up a combined 51 yards on the ground. He also has seven passing touchdowns in that stretch and is the second-best fantasy quarterback over the last two weeks behind only Ryan Tannehill. The price hasn’t come up enough for the production and this week he faces a sneaky-bad defensive team in the Packers. They rank 30th in DVOA and 25th against the pass. We ran out Watson in cash last week at low ownership to great results. Here’s to running it back this week. Justin Herbert FD 7500 DK 6400 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.27 DK - 21.26 The Jaguars have been the league’s worst defense against the pass this season and little changed after last week. Matthew Stafford didn’t put up huge numbers mostly because he didn’t need to. The game was in hand by halftime with the Lions up by two scores and things rolled downhill afterward. This week we get to take the rookie Herbert against this atrocious defense and it won’t cost all that much for the pleasure. Though he’s 0-4 as a starter, Herbert has still been efficient through the air with a 69% completion percentage and 9:3 TD:INT rate. He’s averaging nearly 300 passing yards per game and has even gotten out and run with four rushing attempts and 14 rushing yards per game. The price is excellent on both sites and even with only four games under his belt, this is still a cash game spot for the rookie. Joe Burrow FD 7100 DK 5500 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 19.48 DK - 20.49 Kyle Allen FD 6700 DK 5200 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 15.01 DK - 15.79 On DraftKings, where the pricing is tighter, it can often make a lot of sense to really spend down on more speculative quarterbacks in advantageous matchups. That’s the case with these two this week. Burrow comes in as a DraftKings play where he’s QB18 in...
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 6
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 6 The 2020 NFL season is now in full swing and the DFSR team has covered in every area. Earlier in the week, we covered Cash Game Plays, our Top Bets, and looked at Injury Report. Now let's take a look at a few possible low owned GPP plays based on some of the industry buzz and ownership projections. Keep in mind, these are not safe plays and are generally very boom or bust. Roster accordingly. 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! Running Back The Chalk - Derrick Henry, Alexander Mattison, David Montgomery, Jonathan Taylor These are just a few of the RB who I am projecting to be chalky and have them ranked in order of preference. I am most confident in King Henry who gets monster volume(26.8 touches per game) and when he doesn't the yardage totals always seems to make up for it with his heavy redzone and goaline usage. Next up is Alexander Mattison who took over for the injured Dalvin Cook last week and was electric totaling 134 yards from scrimmage on 23 touches. He gets a plus matchup in a game with a high total on a team that loves to run the ball. David Mongomery is in a great spot as Carolina has allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game to running backs but the Bears are underdogs here in a game with a lower total. The other scary part for GPP formats is that through five games, Monty has just three rushes and two receptions inside the redzone. As for Taylor, he has seen over 50% of the Colts snaps and over 50% of the running back touches just twice in five games. He does have upside in a plus game script on a running team but I will be underweight at these prices. The Pivots Todd Gurley II FD 6800 DK 6300 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 13.23 DK - 14.24 I have both Gurley and Sanders in the sub 10% range for big tournaments this week and I love the upside for both. Let's start with Gurley who has been low owned almost every week which kind of baffles me, to be honest. I get he is not getting the targets which really takes away the PPR value but he has more than made up for it with his opportunity in the redzone sitting third overall with 24 rushing attempts, converting on four of...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 6 Game by Game Breakdown for DraftKings and FanDuel

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! It's difficult to do a game by game breakdown when some games might not even play this week (I'm looking at you, Atlanta-Minnesota), but here we are. With 4 teams on byes, a few games that are totally irrelevant for DFS purposes, and not a whole lot of intriguing injuries, this will be one of the more challenging weeks in recent memory. "Safety" might not be a word that applies to this slate when it's all said and done, so it could be more about trying to capture upside while grabbing safety where you can. That said, it will be more important than ever to get the fine details as correct as possible. Is this a game script where we could see James Conner return to a great share of the carries? Can we trust any Titans at all on record low rest after a Tuesday night game? How much should we be weighing match-ups this week? Is Detroit's incredible match-up with the Jags enough to vault them into lineups? And likewise, do guys like Joe Mixon or Kareem Hunt have such bad match-ups that we need to cross them off? There are an incredible amount of questions heading into this week, and the DFSR guys are here to do their best to answer them. Love the DFSR podcast?

DFS NFL Podcast – Week 6 Cash Game Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 6 Cash Game Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Welcome back for our week 6 NFL cash game podcast, where Doug and James take an early look at cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. Looking for our Week 5 cash game DFS NFL Podcast? Follow the link! 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! The uncertainty train rolls on, with Atlanta catching multiple positive Covid-19 tests on Wednesday morning. The DFSR team soldiers on, giving you their cash game plays for week 6. On FanDuel, quarterback has one clear leader of the pack in DeShaun Watson. On DraftKings, the guys discuss potentially chasing some cheaper options in Ryan Fitzpatrick or Matthew Stafford. It's a very short main slate, and the savings might matter more than ever. Two running back plays look fairly locked in right now, with Mike Davis and Alexander Mattison leading the pack by a fair margin. If Mattison doesn't play, however, things get dicey in a hurry. The guys discuss other options, like Ronald Jones Jr., Aaron Jones, and even Kareem Hunt in a tough match-up. Wide receiver gives us a few more great mid-range options in Jamison Crowder and Robby Anderson, and then a wide variety of options to choose from after that. Can we trust Calvin Ridley if Julio Jones returns? What about Chase Claypool or Travis Fulgham? Wide receiver is very interesting this week, with a number of directions to turn. Tight end is a mess as usual, with Jonnu Smith leading a very uninspiring field. Enjoy the podcast! 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 6 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 Deshaun Watson FD 8200 DK 7000 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 22.48 DK - 23.25 In his first game, post-Bill O’Brien, Watson had his best game of the season against the Jaguars. He threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns while also getting out for 25 rushing yards. Sure, Jacksonville is the league’s worst defense, but it was good to see Watson return to some of the big-number form we’d seen from him in years past. After a brutal scheduling run to start the season, we may be getting the old Watson back now. Unfortunately, the matchup against the Titans isn’t exactly ideal coming off a week in which they shut down Josh Allen. But Watson still is about as dynamic a quarterback as you’ll find on this slate and the price hasn’t gotten all the way back after some early-season struggles. Ryan Fitzpatrick FD 7400 DK 5900 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 20.59 DK - 21.63 Between byes, scheduling and injuries, the top five DraftKings-scoring quarterbacks aren’t on this slate so we are going to have to a dig a bit deeper this week to find some value at the position. Fitzpatrick has had a solid if unspectacular start to the season though some of that is a volume issue. Miami has two games already in which they were in complete control (SF in Week 5, JAX in Week 3) and Fitzpatrick didn’t top 30 passing attempts in either. But he’s also had two games (SEA in Week 4, NE in Week 1) in which he failed to record a passing touchdown and threw five combined interceptions. So it’s been an up-and-down season. This week he gets the Jets who rank 31st against the pass which is even more damning when you see they had three weeks of Brett Rypien, Jimmy G and the no-pass Colts. Fitzpatrick keeps the floor higher with gains on the ground, ranking fourth among quarterbacks in rushing yards this season and he’s a total bargain on DraftKings. Matthew Stafford FD 7300 DK 6300 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 21.12 DK - 21.91 Stafford gets the aforementioned Jaguars this week who rank dead last against the pass in part because they allow a league-worst 8.7 passing yards per attempt. That’s a half yard more than the next...
