Week 13 Main Slate Podcast
Locked-In Cash Plays
Borg – I can’t fathom a cash lineup without Alvin Kamara. Everyone and their mama is going to play him so in cash, running the risk of NOT having him is just plain irresponsible. You can bet 20% of the field in Double-Ups will try to get cute but there seems like very little to gain. Taysom Hill is interesting if you want leverage in tournaments but Kamara’s opportunities per game (23.3) are elite and he’s due for a TD not scoring since Week 6.
Betz – Chase Brown‘s role is CMC-esque since he became the lead RB for the Bengals. In three games as the dude, he’s played 83% of the snaps and seen 28.3 total opportunities per game. At $6,200 on DraftKings and $7,300 on FanDuel, the price hasn’t caught up to his role in one of the most explosive offenses in football.
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.
| DraftKings-QB | BORG | BETZ |
| 1 | Justin Herbert | Justin Herbert |
| 2 | Anthony Richardson | Anthony Richardson |
| 3 | Matthew Stafford | Matthew Stafford |
| 4 | Joe Burrow | Jayden Daniels |
| 5 | Jayden Daniels | Sam Darnold |
Herbert and ARich are our preferred cash options. It’s basically a coin flip between the two. There are so many other options and routes to stack up in tournaments especially with Mr. PROE (Joe Burrow) and Lamar Jackson. Get wild folks!
