NFL DFS DraftKings Cash Picks: Week 9 (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
Caleb Williams $5,700 @ CIN
The Bears take on Cincy this week, and well, not much else needs to be said! The Bengals won’t have Trey Hendrickson for this one, and on the year, the Bengals rank 31st in EPA per drop back, 32nd in drop back success rate, 30th in YPA allowed and they’ve registered the league’s fourth-lowest pressure rate. The big Bug-a-Boo for Caleb since he entered the league is pressure and holding onto the ball too long. With the Bengals unable to rush the passer sans Hendrickson, that should not be an issue this week. On the year, the Bengals have allowed the fourth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to opposing QBs.
