Week 6 Main Slate Podcast – DFS Week 6 Cash/GPP Picks + Fade the Falcons?
Locked-In Cash Plays
Betz – With Borg out this week, I’ll drop two plays that I will be locking into my cash lineup. Thanks to the Rachaad White injury, we get Bucky at a very reasonable price tag on a slate where we really need the salary savings. At just $5,400 on DK and $5,700 on FD, he’s locked for me on both sites. The other one for me (I’m cheating a bit) is a Falcon WR. I personally don’t advise playing both in cash but Drake London and Darnell Mooney project well and are in a great matchup. One of those two makes for a strong starting point at WR this week for cash games.
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 | Lamar Jackson | Lamar Jackson |
| 2 | Jalen Hurts | Dak Prescott |
| 3 | Dak Prescott | Jalen Hurts |
| 4 | Jayden Daniels | Spencer Rattler |
| 5 | Spencer Rattler | Jayden Daniels |
There’s not a clear standout QB play on this slate for cash games. Of course, if we had all the money to make it work, Lamar is strong at home in a great game environment against the Commanders. However, if you’re willing to punt it off with Spencer Rattler at the stone min, you can make a lot work in your lineup at WR and RB. In the mid range, we like Dak in a potential dome shootout against a Lions D that forces opponents to take to the air.
