Week 15 DraftKings Cash Game Breakdown

Week 15 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

Brock Purdy $6,800

Purdy continues to smash but they refuse to raise his salary. Since week 8 Purdy has averaged 314 passing yards which is highest in the league on a per game basis over that span. The Cardinals are bottom ten in points allowed to opposing QBs this season.

 

Matthew Stafford $6,000

Stafford has thrown for at least three TDs in three straight games scoring over 23 DraftKings points in all of them. The Rams have scored 31, 36 and 37 points in those games and now get to play at home and have a 28.5 point team implied total. They get to play the Commanders who basically have no pass rush and have allowed the 2nd most points to opposing QBs this season. They’ve allowed 8.1 yards per attempt and 2.3 passing TDs per game both of which are league highs.

 

RB

Christian McCaffrey $9,300

McCaffrey is a top Cash option every week and now he gets to play the Arizona Cardinals. $9.3k is honestly too cheap as ridiculous as that sounds.

 

Kyren Williams $7,500

Kyren basically has a McCaffrey workload at $2k less in salary. Since returning from injury he’s handled 92% of the Rams’ RB carries and he has carry totals of 16, 21 and 25. He has the most carries in the NFL over that span. He averaged 20.7 carries, 115 yards and 5.6 yards per carry in those games.

 

Bijan Robinson $6,800

Bijan has a great workload as well averaging 21.3 opportunities per game over his last four games. He gets to play the Panthers who cannot stop RBs and have allowed 21 total TDs to opposing RBs this season.

 

Breece Hall $6,400

Hall has basically turned into vintage Kamara. He has at least seven receptions in three straight games. He has 32 targets over the last four weeks. The next closest RB has 18 over that span. He’s still averaging double digit carries as well.

 

Ezekiel Elliott $5,800

Zeke is getting all the work with Rhamondre gone. He had 22 carries and seven catches last week. He has the 2nd most receptions and receiving yards among RBs over the last two weeks. The Chiefs gave up 83 yards through the air to James Cook last week.

 

WR

Ceedee Lamb $9,200

Ceedee has scored a TD in five straight games. He leads the league in targets, receptions, yards and TDs since Week 8. This game has the highest total on the slate and the Bills are incredibly banged up in the secondary.

 

Rashee Rice $6,100

At least seven receptions in three straight games. He’s averaged 7.7 receptions, 81 yards and has scored twice. He has a 29% target share over that span.

 

Garrett Wilson $5,800

Wilson has a great workload. He has a 32% target share and the 3rd most targets among WRs this season. He also has the 4th most catches and is averaging 11.3 targets since Week 8.

 

Jayden Reed $4,900

Reed is involved in both the running and receiving game. The Packers are dealing with a plethora of injuries which will only increase their reliance on Reed. Aaron Jones could return but after a multiple week absence it’s unlikely they want him to have a bell cow workload. Dillon and Watson will likely miss this game and Wicks has an ankle injury that will have him very limited in the best case scenario.

 

Demario Douglas $3,900
WanDale Robinson $3,700

These are the punt options this week. Neither has much of a ceiling but should have relatively safe floors at their salary. I personally like Douglas better but if you’re playing Zeke I definitely wouldn’t use two Patriots.

 

TE

Trey McBride $5,200

McBride shouldn’t even be looked at like a TE. Since Week 8 he’s averaged 8.8 targets, has a 28% target share and 73.3 yards. The 49ers are dealing with a number of injuries at safety and linebacker.

 

Tucker Kraft $3,000

Since Musgrave has been out, Kraft has been heavily involved and has run a route on 85% of Love’s dropbacks. With a number of injuries to Packers skill players, Kraft will see some extra looks.

 

DEF

CLE $3,500

LAR $3,100

NYJ $2,500
