Best Plays for DFS: Week 10
Each week we will review some of the content found in the DFS Pass and discuss some of our most confident plays heading into Sunday. A lot can change over the weekend, especially with injury news (See Betz’s Injury Blitz podcast) and roster percentage projections in the Optimizer shifting who is in-or-out before roster lock time. Let’s review.

Week 10 Main Slate Podcast
Locked-In Cash Plays
Borg – Tyler Shough + Chris Olave is one of the easiest clicks of the week. I will be utilizing that stack in my cash builds this week as both are underpriced relative to their ceilings in a pace-up game.
Betz – If Kenneth Walker is ruled out with his groin injury, Emmett Johnson is an incredibly strong play at just $4,700 on DK and $5,100 on FD. It unlocks the entire slate and allows you to fit some of the studs pretty easily. Don’t overthink it!
DraftKings Core Plays
These are the 3-5 players at each position we have mixed in our cash player pool. Based on salaries, late news, and budget constraints, it is guaranteed you will not be able to fit in all of them. But their high floors and team-implied totals make them great plays for the week in both cash & GPPs.
These are simply in order of favorite core players. You obviously won’t be able to fit all in a cash lineup and there are salary tradeoffs for paying up at each position.
Quarterbacks
| DraftKings-QB | BORG | BETZ |
| 1 | Tyler Shough | Tyler Shough |
| 2 | Trevor Lawrence | Trevor Lawrence |
| 3 | Josh Allen | Brock Purdy |
| 4 | Brock Purdy | Bryce Young |
| 5 | Bryce Young | Patrick Mahomes |
Tyler Shough is being steamed up to the point where we expect him to be in the majority of 50/50 and H2H lineups when we flip over the cards. Listen, we love the ShoughDaddy so in cash, count us in. However, there are lots of solid QB plays on this slate and in tournaments, we are willing to move off the obvious builds especially with the value opening up to get up to Josh Allen.
