Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8200 DK 6700 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 21.68 DK - 20.91 Well, he went and did the damn thing didn’t he? Laying (somewhat) to rest his ability as a pure pocket passer, Jackson put up a Week 1 to be remembered, completing 17/20 passes for 324 yards and 5 touchdowns in three quarters against the Miami Dolphins. It was something of a statement game even if it was against a team actively trying to lose games this season. Moving forward it’s a little difficult to make heads or tails of what the Ravens ultimate plan is with Jackson. Last season he averaged 13 rushing attempts per game after taking over as starter. In Week 1, he carried the ball once. Did they not run because they didn’t have to? Or is the plan moving forward to strictly keep him in the pocket? For our purposes this may be something like having your cake and eating it too. The idea that he can do both at a moment’s notice means we could be looking at the highest-floor quarterback around. He’ll face an Arizona team that, predictably, allowed the second-most offensive plays (OT-aided) to their opponent. The price comes up for sure but it might not be enough if he’s just a complete weapon behind center. Oh, and did I mention the Ravens have the second-highest implied total (30) on the day? Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 7500 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.08 DK - 23.71 Tyreek Hill played all of 12 snaps on Sunday and saw 2 targets. Patrick Mahomes still finished with 25/33 (75%), 374 yards passing and 3 TDs. I’m not saying the Chiefs are the same without their most feared skill position guy, but the KC offense did just keep chugging along without him. They’ll be without Hill for Week 2 and beyond, but Mahomes is still very much a top cash game option at these prices. The Chiefs come in with the highest implied total on the slate, he still has weapons in Watkins and Kelce, the running backs catch balls out of the backfield and Andy Reid’s scheme is designed to make things potent for the quarterback.

DFS NFL Podcast - Week 1 Recap, Lamar Jackson Victory Lap, Cash Game Thoughts and Look Ahead to Week 2 on DraftKings and FanDuel 9/10/19 It's a DFS NFL Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings and the DFSR crew is recapping Week 1 and looking ahead to Week 2.

James Davis and Doug Norrie take to the podcast looking back at an exciting first week of NFL action with some huge games from relatively unknown players. They discuss their Lamar Jackson play and the surprise that he was so low-owned in cash games on both sites. Jackson, of course, crushed the souls of the Miami Dolphins and was the highest scoring quarterback on both sites. It came through the air more than his legs which does cause some concern going forward, but overall he was a top play. There’s also discussion about the takeaways from Week 1 and where we can have solid information and what other performances look like outliers or game script issues. And of course they have to talk about some of the crazy wide receiver games, breaking down which ones are sustainable and which ones might be blips on the radar.

They go through the matchups and fantasy-relevant plays. There's discussion about Todd Gurley's possible usage and how he could be coming underpriced on both sites because of the playoff performance. They try to make sense of some of the new situations and whether to be bullish or bearish on some unknowns going into Week 1. Can you play Christian McCaffrey in cash games at those prices? It could be the right play if the Rams and Panthers turns into a shootout. They compare Chris Godwin and Kenny Golladay going into this first week considering the hype around the former. All of this and much more in an hour-long discussion about every game on the main slate. Subscribe to this podcast on...
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 1 – 9/5/19
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 1 - 9/5/19 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! Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 20.86 DK - 21.14 We're starting the season with Lamar Jackson under center? It's looking that way. After Jackson took over in week 11, he ran for 536 yards in 7 games. If you extrapolate that rate over 16 games, he would have had 1,225 yards, which would have been good for 4th best in the entire NFL. It would have been 26 yards fewer than Todd Gurley, who is more expensive than Jackson going into this week. Oh, and Jackson also passes the ball. It's reasonable to suggest that we'll see some regression from Jackson in the running game this season, simply because we have never seen a quarterback run so prolifically without getting injured. That being said, isn't it also reasonable to assume that he'll probably improve somewhat in the passing game? Any of that would just be the icing on the cake, here. The Ravens are in a fantastic spot against the Dolphins, who allowed the second most rushing yards per game last season and have already mailed in the season. I like Jackson in just about every format this week. Carson Wentz FD 7600 DK 5700 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 19.63 DK - 20.15 If you don't trust Jackson to continue his breakneck (perhaps literally) rushing pace, Wentz is a very interesting QB to consider. While it's true that Wentz is running a lot less than it looked like he would early in his career, he's quietly a much bigger force in the passing game than he gets credit for. While his end of year stats aren't phenomenal, is rate stats are excellent. His 69.6% completion rate ranked 3rd best in the league, and his 279.6 yards per game was sixth best among returning starters. He's got a solid core of receivers that's been bolstered by the arrival of DeSean Jackson, who provides a deep threat that the Eagles haven't really had in Wentz's time there. The running game should be improved with Howard and Sanders, both of whom can catch balls out of the backfield as well. Wentz threw for 306 yards while completing 27 of his 39 passes against the Skins last year, and again, his offense should be better this season. I like Wentz as a breakout candidate, and he his price could rise sharply if...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 1 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/4/19
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 1 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/4/19 The Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie take to the podcast discuss Week 1 Cash Game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s finally here! Week 1 main slate is around the corner and the guys take to the podcast to discuss cash game strategies, what to prioritize in Week 1 and how to go about creating *safe* DFS lineups.

The DFSR NFL Podcast is back! It’s been a long offseason with plenty of player movement, news, speculation and much more. And the guys are excited to be back talking footballs and preparing for Week 1 on FanDuel and DraftKings. They take a slightly different approach to Week 1 on the podcast. Typically, they’ve written the cash game article and are breaking down their picks. This week, it’s in reverse with the guys looking at a group of players and deciding essentially where they’ll land for the write ups. The biggest issues boil down to a seeming treasure trove of value at Running Back with Wide Receiver looking a little thinner from a value perspective. That leaves some questions about where to pay up. At quarterback they discuss the safety in a guy like Lamar Jackson but also look at Carson Wentz and some other QBs in that middle tier price range. At running back they look at a whole host of plays and try to narrow the field. And finally, wide receiver proves to be the trickiest as of this taping with some elite WR1 guys in shadow coverage matchups and some other values maybe being a little too speculative for Week 1.
