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 in heading into the weekend to put into my player pools.

Quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes $6,200 @ MIA
The KC offense is humming to start the year, ranking third in points per game and sixth in yards per play. With K9 doing his thing out of the backfield, defenses have to respect the run, which has allowed Mahomes to see a spike in his efficiency. Averaging 7.6 YPA with multiple TD passes in both games thus far, Mahomes is off to a great start in fantasy in 2026, and that should continue against the Dolphins, who rank 31st in EPA per dropback and 31st in dropback success rate. Vegas is giving Kansas City a healthy 28-point implied total this week, so multiple Chiefs are in consideration for cash this week.
