Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 Two big NFL slates in one week? I mean, sure? It's actually kind of funny, though, because in some ways it feels like we used up a lot of the great DFS NFL plays on Thursday, and now we're sort of picking at the DFS leftovers. Did you pick up on my well-crafted Thanksgiving metaphor? I thought so. I'm here all season, folks.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson FD 7400 DK 5700 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 21.7 DK - 21.72 So, we haven't seen a quarterback game like Jackson's week 11 performance in a while, huh? The Ravens had a 54:19 run-pass ratio, and Jackson himself had 26 carries. The Ravens are 10.5 favorites over Oakland this week, and it's hard to believe that they will run less in a game that Vegas sees them winning easily. Jackson is basically a good running back who will pass 20 times a game as well, and this makes him an absurdly high floor cash game play from where I'm sitting. Oakland has been the very worst team in the NFL against opposing passers this season, and while the Ravens are passing more to keep opposing defenses honest than anything else, the Raiders are one of the least equipped defenses to punish a young quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger FD 7900 DK 6100 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 21.43 DK - 21.67 I had a tough time figuring out who I wanted to list in the QB2 slot today. I'll break down the other guys I considered in a second, but for now let's give the case for Big Ben. Roethlisberger has quietly settled in as a solid high floor QB option even as James Conner has shown us that teams are as responsible for big RB performances as the players themselves. We're coming off a week 11 game where the Steelers elected to simply pivot away from the run and into the teeth of one of the best cornerback duos in the league rather than continue to run Conner, and one has to think that Ben's floor is even higher than usual right now. Pittsburgh elected to give Conner 9 targets last game as well, showing that perhaps Ben will get a...

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 Happy Turkey Day! I can only imagine how jealous our grandfathers would be if they could know how much we've infused even more football into a day that's ostensibly about getting together with family and spend time together. Now you've got all of the games to watch, and the hour before lineup lock to get in your lineups? We should all be so blessed. On this Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for the incredible bounty of being able to go way too deep on a three game NFL slate.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Drew Brees FD 9000 DK 6700 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 21.77 DK - 21.45 Matt Ryan FD 8600 DK 6100 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 20.72 DK - 21.31 The Drew Brees or Matt Ryan question will be a fundamental one for this Thanksgiving Day slate, and our lineup optimizer sees it as being a really close decision. Brees is averaging .5 more FanDuel points per game this season, but he's also $400 more on FanDuel and $600 more on DraftKings. Ryan's been throwing the ball more, but Brees has been putting up better fantasy totals. Both teams represent great match-ups for opposing quarterbacks, but New Orleans has allowed .5 more yards per attempt in the air this season. Brees has a much better running game behind him, which can vulture his touchdowns (even if it hasn't recently). When it all comes out in the wash, our system slightly prefers Ryan, but mostly because saving the extra $400 really matters on such a short slate with so few options. Mitch Trubisky FD 7900 DK 5500 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 20.43 DK - 20.56 And hey, if you can't spend all the way up at quarterback, Trubisky isn't such a bad consolation prize. He's got a banged up right shoulder right now, but assuming he's given a full bill of health, he makes for an excellent play here. If you throw out that bizarre Buffalo game, Trubisky has topped 17 fantasy points in 6 of his last 7 games, including 3 games where he topped an astounding 33 fantasy points. During their four game winning streak he's completed almost 65% of his passes. In his last six...

DFS NFL Podcast Week 11 Recap and Week 12 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to break down an excellent Week 11 in the NFL and look ahead to Week 12 which has a 3-game Thanksgiving slate plus a full main slate of games. The guys recap some of the Chiefs-Rams historic game from Monday night and mostly pay homage to these two prolific offenses. Then they look at Lamar Jackson’s game for the Ravens in his first start and whether the rushing yards are sustainable. At running back, it was a lot of the usual suspects though they do look at whether James Conner’s game was an outlier. And finally while looking at some WR games, they make fun of the name of the FanDuel contests for Thanksgiving. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 - 11/18/18 Welcome back football fans. The Week 11 main slate is a bit tricky on the surface as there are six teams on a bye but the real issue is that six other very fantasy viable teams are playing in Primetime. This is where the Player Lab really comes in handy to break down and find the best matchups. Let's dig in and take a look at a couple of the top stacking options that stand out when using the DFSR tools. Want to see the rest of this article?

START YOUR FREE TRIAL - AND READ THE REST! This is the first week of the season using the Player Lab where I used up to four filters and it produced this many options. Looking at games with high vegas totals that include quarterbacks with projected for 40+ attempts on teams that rely heavily on passing for total yards and touchdown, the Player Lab spit out five quarterbacks. Of those five players, three are averaging over 300 yards passing per game and below I will highlight two of them. Let's get started. Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback - Carson Wentz Primary Target - Zach Ertz Secondary Target - Golden Tate Carson Wentz missed the first two games of the season recovering from injury and while he let us down in Week 3, he has been extremely consistent since. In those six games, he has thrown for 300+ yards four times with multiple touchdowns in each game and averaged 24.6 DraftKings/ 21.9 FanDuel points per game. I list Zach Ertz as my primary target here for a couple reasons starting with his elite floor and upside. He is fourth among all pass catchers in the league with an average of 11.1 targets per game and has an elite 75% catch rate and is 11th overall with 789 receiving yards. What I like even more is that roster construction seems to favor paying up for multiple elite running backs making it tough to fit Ertz in your lineup forcing people to punt at the tight end position. Not that Ertz will be super low owned as he is in a class of his own but stacking him with Wentz and then getting an elite running back could help separate a bit in GPP formats. After Ertz, I like pairing Wentz with newcomer, Golden Tate. He had a rough first game with his new team catching just two of four targets and could...
