Week 10 Draftkings Cash Game Breakdown

Week 10 DraftKings Cash Game Breakdown

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.

QB

Joe Burrow $6,800

Burrow looks to be fully healthy and is playing well as a result. He’s averaged 26.45 DraftKings points in his last two games. He’s thrown multiple TDs in each of his last four games. Keep an eye in Chase’s status. If he can’t go I’d stay away from Burrow.

 

Geno Smith $5,800

This is really a combo of the price and the matchup. I’m not crazy about paying up this week with a lack of elite QBs on the slate. Washington has allowed the most points to opposing QBs this season. They’re allowing the 2nd most TD passes per game. Geno struggles under pressure but Washington just traded away their two best pass rushers. A high team total as six point favorites at home at sub $6k works well for cash.

 

Brock Purdy $5,700

Purdy has been good this year especially in games where all of his weapons are healthy. He averaged 20.64 DraftKings points through the first five weeks. He threw a season high 365 yards last time out. Purdy has at least five rushing attempts in back to back games.. The Jaguars have allowed the 3rd most passing yards per game this season.

 

RB

Christian McCaffrey $9,200

If you can afford him play him. He’s basically guaranteed 100 total yards and a TD. He’s top three in total carries and top five in total targets among RBs. He has 15 total TDs. No safer floor and very few have the upside McCaffrey possesses.

 

Tony Pollard $7,300

Pollard has been a disappointment this season but is still getting a decent workload. He’s really been lacking in the TD department which is ridiculous considering he has the 2nd most redzone carries. The Giants have allowed the 4th most yards per carry and the 3rd most rushing TDs this season. The Cowboys have the highest implied team total and are 16.5 point favorites at home.

 

Joe Mixon $6,200

Mixon hasn’t really had many ceiling games but it’s the floor we care about in Cash. He’s averaged 16.8 carries and 3.8 catches. He’s handled 90% of the Bengals backfield touches. It should be a positive game script for Mixon as the Bengals are TD favorites at home with a banged up WR corp.

 

Rachaad White $5,800

I’m not crazy about White but there aren’t many options in this price range. White is still getting a great workload. He’s handled 70% of the backfield touches in Tampa. He has the 2nd most receptions among RBs.

 

Devin Singletary $4,700

Singletary didn’t work out last week because of how efficient the Texans were through the air. He still had 15 touches. With Pierce being out again, Singletary is in play with a 75% snap share under $5k. I’d rather get his guaranteed workload than pay down for a volatile cheap WR.

 

WR

Amon Ra St Brown $8,300

Amon Ra is averaging 11.1 targets per game which is 2nd most in the league. He leads the league with 8.1 receptions per game. This game has the highest total on the slate and the Lions have a healthy team total over 25 points. The Chargers have allowed the 4th most yards per game to opposing WRs.

 

DeAndre Hopkins $6,000

Hopkins has risen from the dead thanks to Levis. He has a 27% target share since Levis took over and is averaging 16.9 yards per reception. Tampa just got torched by Houston last week. They’ve allowed the most yards to opposing WRs this season.

 

Tank Dell $5,500

Many will play Dell coming off 11 targets 114 yards and two TDs. And for good reason. He has been up and down this year. Nico Collins will likely miss this game which can only help Dell’s target share in a game with a Total over 47.

 

Diontae Johnson $5,400

In 3 games since returning, Diontae Johnson has had target shares of 26%, 35%, and 31%. His yardage total has increased each week from 79 to 85 to 90 last week. He’s tied for the 6th most receptions over that span.

 

TE

Evan Engram $4,500

Engram is averaging 7.6 targets this year which is 3rd most among TEs. He has a 22% target share. He has at least seven targets in every game since week two.

 

Trey McBride $3,500

McBride is a talented young TE. He obviously exploded two weeks ago for 10 catches, 95 yards and a TD. He has the 3rd most targets among TEs over the last four weeks. Now he gets a HUGE upgrade with Kyler Murray throwing him the ball and he’s still sub $4k.

 

DEF

CIN $2,800

ARI $2,500
