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 percentages shifting who is in-or-out before roster lock time. Let’s review.

  • Locked-in Cash Plays
  • CORE Plays
  • Game Stacks We Love
  • Full-On Fades of the Week
  • Favorite Leverage Plays

Locked-In Cash Plays

DraftKings Cash Picks / FanDuel Cash Picks

Betz – If Jahmyr Gibbs is ruled out, David Montgomery is locked in my lineup. His touch counts with Gibbs in the lineup are 21, 17 (left early with a quad injury) and 34. If Gibbs is out, Monty’s touch projection should come in around 20, and he’d probably be more involved in the passing game sans Amon-Ra.

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.
