Week 7 Main Slate Podcast
Locked-In Cash Plays
Borg – I plan on locking in Christian McCaffrey in my cash lineup. The projected opportunity at $7600 is too good for a team with their type of scoring expectation. Paying up for Gibbs is tempting and you can still get both in your lineup but CMC is the one I’m prioritizing of the two in cash.
Betz – Matthew Golden‘s role is established for the Packers and his price has barely budged. For cash purposes, he feels like the easiest click of the week at $6K. Expect him to be in the 60+ % range or more.
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 | Jordan Love | Jordan Love |
| 2 | C.J. Stroud | C.J. Stroud |
| 3 | Bryce Young | Bo Nix |
| 4 | Bo Nix | Kyler Murray |
| 5 | Brock Purdy | Bryce Young |
Everyone and their mama is going to show up with Jordan Love in cash. There is a world where he ends up being the most popular QB of any main slate through seven weeks. There are other routes for success as he’s been 50/50 this season on truly paying off this tag for tourneys. Texans onslaughts are in play and we are intrigued by a bounce back from $5K Bo Nix.
