Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 – 9/29/19
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 - 9/29/19 In Week 3, it was a good week to be a fill-in, possibly future franchise, quarterback. The young guns like Daniel Jones and Kyle Allen crushed it. What do we have in store for Week 4? Let's take a look at some cash game options.

Quarterbacks Russell Wilson FD 7800 DK 6100 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 21.28 DK - 22.12Through the first three weeks of the season, the Cardinals defense has allowed two of the top eight overall QB performances on DraftKings: Lamar Jackson - 33.8 DK pts and Matthew Stafford - 31.6 pts. And they are fresh off a week making Kyle Allen look like the second coming of Joe Montana in only his second start. Now they’ll get Russell Wilson coming off the best QB performance of the season in which he went for 406/2 through the air and 51/2 on the ground playing catchup against the Saints. Wilson is a positive steal on DraftKings at only $6100 and is in play on FanDuel as well. This could be a smash spot considering Arizona is allowing the second most opponent plays per game and have been decimated by opposing signal callers. I suspect Wilson is something like the chalk on both sites. Patrick Mahomes FD 9200 DK 7500 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 24.63 DK - 25.7Imagine if opposing teams actually pressed the Chiefs and Mahomes to keep their foot on the gas for an entire game? I suppose Baltimore sort of did that in Week 3, though the game had more a grind out feel from the Ravens side and Mahomes still chucked up 374 yards and three touchdowns in *only* 37 attempts. He leads the league in passing TDs (10) despite ranking just 7th in pass attempts. Dude just makes it look easy and I don’t think we are at the peak of his price considering the amount of safety he seems to offer week in and week out. Detroit is allowing the most opponent plays per game this season and KC comes in with the second-highest team total of the week. The only question really is if you can afford Mahomes and I think since we might be going a bit cheaper on some RBs and WRs, the price on Mahomes is fine.

DFS NFL Podcast - Week 3 Cash Game Picks and Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/18/19 It’s time for a Week 3 DFS NFL Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings looking at a somewhat confusing landscape for cash games. 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! With so many injuries across the league, Week 3 could look something like a minefield in terms of safe plays and guys try to make sense at different price tiers in each position. At quarterback, they look at some cheaper options if not totally set on playing Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes on the upper end of the salary scale. Then, there’s a discussion about running backs and whether we are looking at another week of trying to fit in three running backs in every lineup in order to grab safety around the position. They look at Ezekiel Elliot in a dream matchup against the Dolphins, what Cam Newton’s status does to Christian McCaffrey’s status and more. And at wide receiver and tight end they wade through a number of options who aren’t overly cost...
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 – 9/22/19
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/22/19 Two weeks are in the books and now we head into Week 3 with some uncertainty around injuries for a bunch of different teams. But there's still plenty of cash game value out there and we've got you covered for FanDuel and DraftKings. 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 We live in weird and wacky times. Injuries have hit the quarterback position unusually hard to start the season with 19% of teams’ projected opening week starters on the shelf, out for the season or simply retired. That’s leaving us with a fair amount of backups taking the starting nod and us left to wade through the leftovers. One more quick note: Clearly, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are the upper tier of cash game projected plays. That’s not necessarily news. But in the vein of being intellectually honest and realistic, it’s not feasible to pay up for either of them AND go expensive at running back. Things change over the course of the week, and if a punt option or two emerges at another position then let’s bite the bullet and spend all the way up. For the time being, I’m going to recommend some cost-effective arms. Cool? Cool. Kyler Murray FD 7200 DK 5800 Opponent CAR Proj Points FD - 19.57 DK - 20.8 From an efficiency perspective, Murray’s first two weeks in the NFL haven’t been anything to text home about. He’s completed only 57% of his passes. But man, the volume is more than making up for it. With an OT game in there Week 1, Murray has already attempted 94 passes through the first two weeks, leading to 657 total passing yards. He only has two TDs to speak of, but that does feel like some run bad considering the Cardinals were down and close a few times against the Ravens and settled for field goals. The Kliff Kingsbury offense is mostly what we expected from a pace standpoint with the Cards averaging the fifth-most offensive plays per game this season. Now Arizona will face a possibly-Cam Newton-less Panthers team that’s ranked fourth-fastest in pace against through the first two weeks. Murray is coming cheap enough on DraftKings to play in cash games and I do think there are still some gains to made on the ground for him. Jameis Winston FD 7300 DK 5400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 19.12 DK - 19.56 Oh boy. See what...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/17/19
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/17/19 After a Week 2 filled with injuries to key players, the DFSR guys jump on their DFS NFL Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings look back at Sunday and preview Week 3. 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! It was a bad week to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. After Sam Darnold was ruled out with mono, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees were hurt in Sunday’s action. This follows Andrew Luck retiring and Nick Foles going down in Week 1. All of a sudden, 17% of teams are without the QBs they thought they’d enter the season with. On top of that, there’s some running back concern going into Week 3 with James Conner, LeSean McCoy and Damien Williams all suffering Week 2 injuries. Plus the guys ask if we should just stream defenses against the Dolphins for the rest of the season? Is Lamar Jackson a fantasy god? Who are the *safe* running backs and...

Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 7500 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.08 DK - 23.71 Travis Kelce FD 8000 DK 7300 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 14.17 DK - 17.81 Mecole Hardman FD 4700 DK 4800 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 6.96 DK - 8.56 Not much has to be said here from a talent standpoint as MVP Mahomes and company picked up right where they left off in 2018. They opened the 2019 season facing the 6th ranked DVOA defense from last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and pretty much waxed the floor with them despite losing Tyreke Hill in the first quarter. Mahomes went off for 378 yards and three touchdowns, all of which went to Sammy Watkins who stepped up in a big way with Hill's absence. He caught nine of a game-high 11 targets for a whopping 198 yards and pretty much broke the slate. As you can see from the list of players above I am going in a different direction this week and will be mostly fading Watkins and his likely high ownership due to recency bias. Instead, I will take the projected ownership discount and roll with rookie Mecole Hardman who should step into the Tyreke Hill role. There is definitely risk here as he is a rookie in his second game in the NFL and ended week one dropping his only target in a game where the Chiefs scored 40 points. The best part here is that he comes cheap under $5K on both sites and pairing him with Mahomes still allows you to pay up at running back and/or tight end. Speaking of, if Hardman appears to be mega chalk come Sunday morning(check FanshareSports) I will be pivoting a ton of exposure over to Kelce. Yes, he will be popular as well but is a proven elite player and the combination of Mahomes and Kelce is very expensive and likely outside the Top 3 highest owned two-man stacks which to me seems like a mistake considering the enormous upside.
