Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 9300 DK 8500 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 27.95 DK - 27.95 We are going to be spending up at quarterback this week almost for sure. There are just too many good options on the main slate to fade all of the upper tier guys. It’s just too tough. And with that in mind, fading Allen at all this season has been a major problem. He’s the top overall DraftKings scorer on the season despite playing one fewer game than basically all the next-closest guys. The Bills are -13 road favorites against the Jets in Week 9 and the latter does have a great defense this season. But Allen is just too good and the Bills pass too much to think Allen gets scripted down out of value even in a blowout. Kyler Murray FD 8200 DK 7400 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 24.14 DK - 24.14 Murray is coming off his best fantasy game of the season in Week 8 when he threw for 326 yards and ran for another 36 in the loss to the Vikings. Now he’ll face the Seahawks in a game that has the highest point total of the main slate (50). While Seattle hasn’t been terrible on defense from a DVOA perspective, they do allow the 4th-most opponent plays per game this season, meaning this is a pace-up matchup for Murray and the Cardinals. Having DeAndre Hopkins back in the mix makes this a much more potent offense and Murray running gives him a higher floor. Running Backs Rhamondre Stevenson FD 8000 DK 6200 Opponent INDProj Points FD - 19.71 DK - 22.07 Stevenson has been good all season, but the real bonus has come in the last couple of weeks when he’s become a much bigger part of the passing game. He eight targets in each of the last two weeks and is averaging is averaging 22.3 touches (carries + targets) in the last three weeks. The Patriots are -5.5 home favorites against the Colts who are good against the run, but only and average defense overall. Stevenson is too cheap on DraftKings now for what he is doing in the passing game.

Game Stack - Raiders @ Saints Josh Jacobs FD 9000 DK 7500 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 21.67 DK - 23.48 Andy Dalton FD 7100 DK 5500 Opponent LV Proj Points FD - 12.28 DK - 12.28 Chris Olave FD 6900 DK 6000 Opponent LV Proj Points FD - 14.75 DK - 17.62 This game has the second-highest total on the slate and provides us with multiple ways to stack it. My favorite starts with Josh Jacobs who has been tremendous lately with 20 or more rush attempts and 143 or more rushing yards in three straight games while also reaching the endzone a whopping six times! On top of that, he has also been involved in the passing game catching 13 of 15 targets for another 82 yards in that time and that is key when playing full PPR on DraftKings. That heavy run approach has been key in turning the Raiders season around and I don't see it stopping against a Saints team that has been vulnerable to the run lately. Last week Eno Benjamin rushed for 92 yards on just 12 carries(7.7 yards per rush), Joe Mixon only rushed for 45 yards on them in week 6 but that was on just eight carries(5.6 yards per carry) and he also caught a TD through the air, and Kenneth Walker blew them up for 88 yards on eight carries(11 yards per rush) and a touchdown the week before that. I will be running this back with Andy Dalton in a game script where the Saints are chasing and need to pass 40+ times once again. Dalton showed us his ceiling last week in a come-from-behind game script where he threw for 361 yards and four touchdowns. I doubt we see that sort of upside again but it's possible against a Raiders defense that is 30th in DVOA against the pass. I will pair Dalton with his primary pass-catcher Chris Olave who is most definitely in the running for Rookie of the Year. Even with more coverage pushed his way with Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry out,...

Quarterbacks Geno Smith FD 7000 DK 5800 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 20.07 DK - 20.07 Geno Smith is QB7 in DraftKings scoring this season and he’s coming at QB8 in price just on this slate. We are still getting him at value prices even though the production has been excellent and pretty consistent. He’s thrown for 1,712 yards, the seventh most in the league,S and has 11 touchdowns to just three interceptions. The Giants for all of their feel-good 5-1 start still have the 29th overall defense and give it up both through the air and on the ground. Geno is coming cheap enough on both sites to start fitting some of the skill position guys we are going to want in cash. Daniel Jones FD 7500 DK 5700 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 19.81 DK - 19.81 I don’t think I want him on FanDuel where I can get Geno for $500 cheaper, but the DraftKings price is pretty nice and allows for plenty of flexibility elsewhere in the lineup. He’s only thrown six touchdowns on the season, but Jones has gotten it done with his legs, even putting up 107 yards on the ground last week against the Jaguars. He has three games of 68 or more rushing yards this season and has found the end zone three times as well. Again, I want to go cheap at the position this week almost for sure. I actually think you can consider Sam Ehlinger here who is getting the nod over Matt Ryan for the Colts. He is the minimum on DraftKings, has weapons in this offense and ran a ton (a ton) in college. If that’s even part of his game at the NFL level then the floor is high enough to take the risk. Running Backs Saquon Barkley FD 9500 DK 8100 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 22.66 DK - 24.77 In terms of opportunity, it doesn’t get much safer than Saquon Barkley who is coming off playing 81% of the snaps in Week 7 and is about elite as it gets when it comes to the usage. On the season, his 173 rushing attempts + receiving targets rank number one in the league by 16 over the next-closest guy (Joe Mixon). He’s game script independent when it comes to seeing the...

Cincinnati Bengals Double Stack Joe Burrow FD 8300 DK 6900 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 22.86 DK - 22.86 Ja'Marr Chase FD 8500 DK 8200 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 18.54 DK - 22.19 Tee HIggins FD 7100 DK 6400 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 12.31 DK - 14.85 The Bengals got the passing game going last week as Burrow put up a season-high 35 fantasy points on 300 yards passing and three touchdowns. While the offensive line is still bottom five in the league, Burrow is having a solid season throwing for 275 or more yards and multiple touchdowns in four of six games with 20+ fantasy points in each of those games. The Bengals are in another terrific spot this week against a poor Falcons defence that ranks 29th overall and 23rd against the pass. Digging deeper, there is a lot of upside in this matchup as the Falcons have allowed the 5th most passing yards on deep balls this season(via NFL Savant), 2nd most yards to receivers on the outside, and 8th most to receivers on the inside. They have held running backs somewhat in check ranking 12th in fantasy points against which is another reason I am starting the passing game as they rank 25th or worse in fantasy points to QB, WR, and TE. This is an offense I will be double stacking and it starts with Ja'Marr Chase who is coming off his best game of the season with 132 yards and two touchdowns and has been getting the volume all season with the 6th most targets overall. The aDOT(8.9) is down about 3-4 yards from last season but he has made up for it as he ranks 8th when looking at Air Yards + YAC. With the Falcons allowing more yards to the outside vs. the inside, Tee Higgins is next on my list and has a little deeper aDOT(9.8) and doesn't trail Chase by that much when looking at AY+YAC. Run Back Option: Kyle Pitts as the one weakness of the Bengals' defense has been against the TE(19th...
Lamar Jackson and Josh Jacobs Highlight Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 7 – Main Slate

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 and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8800 DK 8000 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 26.08 DK - 26.08 Through six weeks of the season, Lamar Jackson ranks 3rd overall in DraftKings scoring behind only Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs, who are both off this week. He draws a matchup against the 29th DVOA defense in the Browns who have been bad against both the run and the pass. Both of these work fine for how Lamar scores his points. Though the Browns are bad on D, some of that is mitigated by playing at a slower pace, allowing the 6th-fewest opponent plays from scrimmage this season. But regardless, I think we are still in a fine spot here with Jackson who is averaging 9.33 rushing attempts per game and has been effective in the red zone. Geno Smith FD 6800 DK 5600 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 19.68 DK - 19.68 Geno Smith is QB7 in DraftKings scoring this season and that was even off of a rather inefficient game in Week 6 against the Cardinals in which he only completed 20 of 31 passes for 197 yards. He raised the floor by getting out on the ground and rushing for 48 yards and he’s averaging more than four carries per game so far. This game has the highest total (51) of the main slate with the Seahawks slight underdogs. I like the price on both sites for Smith, but especially on DraftKings if we looking at paying up for running back. Running Backs Joe Mixon FD 7400 DK 7000 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 17.59 DK - 19.77 Mixon struggled in Week 6 mostly with the Bengals playing from behind most of the game and Cincinnati needing to take to the air. On the season, he’s had elite usage from the running back position and this week is shaping up to be a smash spot. Mixon’s price is down because he’s found the end zone only once this season and hasn’t been all that efficient, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry. But now he’ll face the 29th-ranked defense in the Falcons as a -6 home favorite. This is right where we want our backfield plays and Mixon is coming in at a fantastic value. Josh Jacobs FD 8600 DK 6500 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 21.92 DK...
