START/SIT ASSIST | TRADE CALCULATOR
Cash games take a bit of a different approach. We only need to finish in the top half of finishing positions. The goal is to get the safest floor with a bit of upside for the cheapest price. Ownership is an afterthought. I tend to look for the most guaranteed touches from the RBs and WR. A floor is just as important as a players upside in cash. If there’s value on the slate at WR I’ll play the top RBs otherwise I’m looking for the most touches in the mid range. Cash games are a great way to build your bankroll and stay profitable long term.
I will say that you should ALWAYS enter your cash lineups into a GPP. Believe me it is not fun coming 1st in a double up and winning the same amount as the person who came in 2,000th when you would’ve won a GPP.

In the two games where he played this season, Lance had 20.4 and 15.6 DraftKings points. That’s more than adequate for his price. He threw two TDs and rushed for 130 yards in those games. Houston has allowed the 2nd most rushing yards per game this season.
