NFL DFS DraftKings Cash Picks: Week 2 (Fantasy Football)
NFL DFS cash games are all about building a high-floor lineup that can win in head-to-heads, 50/50s, and double-ups. Each week I’ll highlight my favorite cash game picks that I have some confidence heading into the weekend to put into my player pools.

Quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes $7,000 vs. CIN
Mahomes didn’t smash in Week 1, but we know the deal with Mahomes and this KC offense – they’re a threat to lead the league in passing every week, and in Week 1, the Chiefs were second in pass rate over expectation. We’re still waiting on Hollywood Brown’s injury status, but he’s got the weapons to pay off this tag, and the pass rate should be there at home against the Bengals. The Chiefs have the slate’s third-highest implied team total at 26.3, and with Joe Burrow on the other side, this game could go back and forth with the total sitting at 47.5.
