DFS NFL Talk Week 9 - Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/2/17 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at some cash game considerations for Week 9 on FanDuel and DraftKings.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson FD 9600 DK 8100 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 26.09 DK - 27.56 I suppose it's always a little disingenuous to recommend a player after his best game of the season, though most would admit that projecting Watson's game against the Seattle defense would have taken some out of the box thinking. Honestly, projecting Watson's 402/4 through the air, 6/87 on the ground against anyone would have been more than a little suspect. Alas, he torched the Seahawks and now draws arguably the best matchup on the board against the Colts. Watson's been a revelation this season, leading the NFL in fantasy points while effectively playing two fewer games than most of his contemporaries. The "knock" on Watson is that he's been very touchdown dependent in his scoring, leading the league with 19 while throwing significantly less than anyone in the top group. Those are likely to regress some, but the rushing yards (269 on the ground, the overwhelming leader among QBs) always keeps his floor on the higher side. The Indy defense is awful (30th in DVOA) and the Texans have, by far, the highest implied total on the board at 31. Watson is expensive and he isn't a must play, but he's the top option on the board. **Tragic news out of Houston on Thursday afternoon. DeShaun Watson suffered a torn ACL which will require season-ending surgery. Get him out of your lineups. As a replacement, consider Drew Brees who gets an elite matchup vs. the Bucs who rank 30th in passing yards allowed per game(274.7). It is also a plus for the Saints passing game that the Bucs are likely going to be without Brent Grimes once again this week.** Russell Wilson FD 8500 DK 7300 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 22.2 DK - 22.98 The reason Watson isn't a must play is...

DFS NFL Talk - Week 8 Recap and Looking Ahead to Week 9 10/31/2017 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look back at Week 8 in the NFL for FandDuel and DraftKings while also looking at some relevant news for Week 9. The big story from this morning is the Miami Dolphins trading RB Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles. This almost immediately bolsters a Philly running attack already ranked fourth in the running yards from scrimmage. The question will be whether Ajayi is available on FD or DK considering he started the week on the Dolphins. They also talk about Deshaun Watson and if his stats are sustainable long-term. Then they break down some of the other bigger performances of the week. All of this and much more on a full Week 8 recap. Subscribe to this podcast on...
