With DraftKings removing the SNF game from their Main slate this week you’ll need to remove any Colts and Seahawks from consideration if playing on DraftKings.
This is a breakdown of the main slate Cash vs GPP game plays for the upcoming week
QUARTERBACK
CASH
Russell Wilson (FD only) — Wilson is projected to score 23.3 FanDuel points this week and will certainly be a chalky play on FanDuel where he is only 7900.
Matt Ryan — Ryan will be a more popular play on DK this week but not extremely high. Â Ryan at home is always a high floor and has a good matchup against Buffalo.
DeShaun Watson — Watson will be a very popular play this week on DK because of where he is projected on out FullTimeScores. Â I would not use him in a tournament in what projects to actually be a close/low scoring game.
GPP PIVOTS
Ben Roethlisberger (FD) — Ben is my favorite pivot off Russell Wilson in the same price range. Â Nobody will play Ben on the road anymore and he’s playing a Baltimore team who is tired and just got SHREDDED by Blake Bortles and the Jaguars. Â Ben+Marty Bryant and Antonio Brown
Carson Palmer — Palmer isn’t that far off from Watson in our projections but he’s got just as many tools and likely has a higher scoring game despite the general perception that Arizona plays low scoring games still.
RUNNING BACK
CASH
LeVeon Bell — Lev Bell is chalky in cash almost every week. Â No exception this week.
Ezekiel Elliott — Zeke at home should be the highest owned RB on both sites in cash. Â He’s the safest play in this group
Dalvin Cook — Cook still benefits from a reduced price compared to the other stud RB’s but is seeing a high volume. Â FullTimeScores project him at 20+ FD points this week making him a top cash game play.
GPP PIVOTS
Devonta Freeman — Nobody has the home road TD splits like Freeman however with the choices of Julio Jones and LeSean McCoy in this same game we may see Freeman < 10% in cash like he was two weeks ago when he went off against the Packers. Â That means low owned Freeman in tournaments too.
Carlos Hyde — The FullTimeScores see Hyde scoring 18+ FD points against Arizona and while the Cardinals have a solid run defense, this game does project to be a sneaky higher scoring game.
WIDE RECEIVERS
CASH
AJ Green — AJ Green has a “cake” matchup against the Browns and he has performed great on the road as we saw last week in Green Bay.
Keenan Allen — Allen is a popular play on DK this week due to the extra 0.5 pt for PPR. Â He should have a field day against the Eagles secondary
DeAndre Hopkins … Hopkins may not be as highly owned as say Julio Jones, but Hopkins ownership might be higher than you think. Â Hopkins will be the go to correlation play in many of the Watson lineups.
GPP PIVOTS
Brandin Cooks — He has 2 TD, 200 yard upside against the Panthers. Â Give me Cooks over AJ Green in tournaments this weekend.
Sammy Watkins — You can beat this Dallas secondary, especially deep. Â Watkins is coming off a good game and should be even more featured this week against the Cowboys.
Golden Tate — Tate has good games against Minnesota because he is moved around and plays in the slot a ton. Â I like Stafford and Tate to hook up on a big pass play this week.
TIGHT ENDS
CASH
Kyle Rudolph — Rudolph is alwas a popular cash play and with some other popular TE’s off this slate he’ll pick up even more ownership.
Jared Cook — The Raiders will likely be trailing early to the Broncos and wont be able to rely on Cooper/Crabtree as much against the Broncos cornerbacks.
GPP PIVOTS
Evan Engram — Engram is seeing 5+ targets per game from Eli Manning and the Tampa Bay Bucs give up plenty of red zone looks to opposing tight ends.
Hunter Henry — Henry is either completely absent or a big part of the passing attack for the Chargers. Â You’re really rolling the dice playing him in cash but he’s one of the more talented TE’s and is only 3500 on DK.
