DFS NFL Talk Week 13 – Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/30/17
DFS NFL Talk Week 13 - Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/30/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NFL podcast discussing Week 13 cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. There are a lot of close decisions this week with a number of players priced similarly with close to the same expectation. At quarterback, they discuss Tom Brady in the upper tier, Jared Goof (among others) in the middle tier and a bunch of cheap options on DraftKings. At running back, Jamaal Williams will be a chalk play if both Aaron Jones and Ty Montgomery sit again. They also look at Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley. Wide receiver will likely be a decision between Julio Jones and Keenan Allen in the upper tier, but they also look at Cooper Krupp, Brandin Cooks and the Oakland guys without Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.

For instance, the 49ers will debut their big trade acquisition in Jimmy Garoppolo as they prepare for the future. Meanwhile, the Giants will trot out Geno Smith because, lolz.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Quick note: I’m giving a few more recommendations than normal here because pricing really matters this week and the considerations are different for the different sites. Tom Brady FD 9300 DK 7800 Opponent BUF Proj Points FD - 23.37 DK - 23.93 Brady is the clear the top overall points option on the slate (doubly so on DK where both Carson Wentz and Russell Wilson aren’t available on the main slate). The only real question with Brady is whether you can absorb the high salaries. It’s close. Brady has thrown three or more touchdowns in each of the last three weeks, all blowouts. With the game on the road against Buffalo Vegas has it staying somewhat close (Pats -7.5) with New England sporting the highest implied total on the day. It should be said that Buffalo’s defense is much better against the pass than the run and that’s something of a concern. The Pats have been employing an RBBC and making some progress there so it’s not unreasonable to think they prey on Buffalo’s major weakness. But this is still Brady and they’ve also used the short passing game as de facto run in the past. I’m siding with Brady’s track record and the Vegas total here though paying all the way up for him could prove a little difficult with a few big money RBs available on this slate. Jared Goff FD 7900 DK 6700 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 19.51 DK - 20.66 The Rams have taken the leash off of Goff over the last few weeks. He’s attempted 37 or more passes in four of the last five games which is significant considering only one of them saw them playing from behind. They’ve looked to establish the pass...
