Week 6 Main Slate Podcast
Locked-In Cash Plays
Cash – Bijan Robinson. He averages 24 touches per game, handles 87.5% of ATL’s carries inside the five, and averages almost 3x his salary in fantasy points. His 23.28-point projection supports spending here. I like this game a lot, and the O/U has moved up throughout the week, backing that confidence. CHI @ ATL is still camouflaged behind the two afternoon predicted shootouts, keeping his pOwn in a position that may create leverage in cash games. I can use the afternoon chalk to help make smart late swap decisions.
Betz – At 2-3, the Rams have to win this game against the Cardinals. I expect McVay, Stafford and company to come out and put up a big number at home, so I’ll absolutely be playing Puka Nacua. Since returning to the lineup, he’s been targeted on over 35% of his routes.
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.
