NFL DFS DraftKings Cash Picks: Week 3 (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
Jalen Hurts $7,300 @ NO
Not having AJ Brown definitely hurts (no pun intended), but we saw Hurts have one of his best fantasy games in quite some time in Week 2 against Atlanta, particularly as a runner. Hurts has logged 13 rush attempts in back-to-back games and is now tied with Jayden Daniels for the league lead in QB rush attempts. The tush push looked very successful in that Atlanta game, which is encouraging, but on top of that, Hurts scrambling was back as he looked to take over the game offensively. With his defense unable to stop anyone, we should see an aggressive Hurts again in Week 3 in what projects as one of the top game environments on the slate. As of this writing, the PHI/NO game carries a nice 49.5 total, the second-highest on the main slate.
