Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts FD 8400 DK 7300 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 22.32 DK - 23.04 There are some good quarterback options on this slate of games, but the way Hurts scores just makes him pretty safe on a week-in, week-out basis. His 114 rushing attempts are the most by any quarterback in the league with he and Lamar Jackson sitting in a league of their own in this stat. That ability to get out and scamper keeps the floor so high and the Eagles are completely committed to the run these days, keeping the ball on the ground for more than 50 attempts last week. Oh, and the Giants just happen to be terrible at stopping the run, ranking 30th in the league in defensive rushing DVOA. This is lining up to be a smash spot for Hurts. Cam Newton FD 8000 DK 5600 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 19.31 DK - 20.08 Did it all look great for Cam last week? No. But from a fantasy perspective, we got what we were asking for out of his performance. He went 21-27 through the air for 189 yards and two touchdowns. And then he got going in the ground game as well, running the ball 10 times for 46 yards and another touchdown. The trips to the end zone might have been a little lucky, but the fact that they are designing this many runs for him makes him a cash play on DraftKings where the price only corrected slightly. The FanDuel price came up too much so I think he is kind of out of the conversation there. Running Backs Jonathan Taylor FD 9800 DK 9100 Opponent TBProj Points FD - 23.76 DK - 25.43 Look, the season he’s having is just utterly ridiculous at this point. His 286 DraftKings points are about 60 more than the next-closest running back (Ekeler) and he’s been on a near-historic pace over the last couple of weeks. Taylor has totaled 530 total yards in the last three weeks. That’s just unreal and he’s found the end zone six times in that stretch as well. The running back touches are now his alone, playing 83% of the snaps last week. The price is way up, and the TDs are probably an outlier, but it’s hard to compete with...
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 – Thanksgiving Day Slate
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day Slate Want access to the projections that power these picks? 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 Josh Allen FD 8800 DK 7800 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 23.74 DK - 24.4 From a cash perspective, you are likely spending up for one of the two expensive quarterbacks on this slate and that’s going to mean rostering either Allen or Dak. Allen is the third-highest per game scoring quarterback on DraftKings this season even though the production has been a bit hit or miss of late. One of the main issues is that he has barely run in the last two games, rushing for just 21 total yards in that span. His floor this season has come from his legs and here’s to hoping he gets back to some of that against the Saints. New Orleans is great against the run (1st in DVOA) but middling (14th) against the pass this season. Allen still has the higher floor between he and Dak. Dak Prescott FD 8200 DK 6900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 22.02 DK - 22.78 The Cowboys have the highest implied total of the three-game slate thanks in part to the Raiders having the 22nd ranked defense on the season. Dak struggled against the Chiefs throwing for only 216 yards, two picks, and no touchdowns in his 43 attempts. That is pretty damn bad and the loss of the WRs may be catching up with him. It looks like he will be without Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in this game, leaving the receiving corps pretty thin. I’m putting him behind Allen for cash but way above anyone else going on Thanksgiving Day. Running Backs David Montgomery FD 7500 DK 6000 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 14.06 DK - 15.1 The Lions have the 5th-worst defense in the league this season and rank 29th against the run. Montgomery played 95% of the snaps last week against the Ravens, carrying the ball 14 times and getting one target in the passing game. That feels like the absolute basement on expected opportunity considering the snap count and I think we can expect to see much more volume against the Lions in this matchup. Mark Ingram II FD 6600 DK 6200 Opponent BUFProj Points FD - 12.7 DK - 14.56 It doesn’t look like Alvin Kamara is going to be able to suit up for this game, giving Ingram another shot at...
