Locked-In Cash Plays
- DraftKings Cash Picks / FanDuel Cash Picks
- Borg– Kupp is my favorite play but I’ll give you another lock: T.J. Hockenson. We usually want to pay-up or punt but Hockenson is mispriced completely after being in the Monday night game. $5,200 is ridiculous on DraftKings. He should be $6,500 or more. The game environment is just too good and Baltimore ranks dead last in DvP versus fantasy TEs. Jared Goff is tied for the league-lead in pass attempts and the targets are going to flow for Hock in the middle of the field.
- Betz– Cooper Kupp’s role is just too good in this Rams offense. His 37.5% target share is just absurd, and while I do expect that to regress over the course of the season, it probably won’t this week. You can’t run on the Bucs, so the Rams pass catchers should be busy. After a blow-up performance last week, DraftKings didn’t raise his price enough.
The Rams' Cooper Kupp sports a 69% target share versus the blitz.
The Buccaneers pass blitz the second-most in the NFL at 43% (+16.4% vs NFL average).
