NFL DFS FanDuel Cash Picks for Week 18 (Fantasy Football)
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. For more on cash game strategy and the mechanics of it, make sure you listen to our DFS Cash Overview episode. On the Fantasy Footballers DFS & Betting Podcast, Betz and myself will dive into a couple of these but this article is intended for DFS Pass subscribers to get the full lay of the land.
On Saturdays, I narrow this pool of cash players to our DFS Best Plays, arguably the most valuable article in the DFS Pass.
Quarterbacks
Baker Mayfield vs NO- $8400
The Bucs are in a win-and-get-in situation as 13.5 pt favorites at home versus the Rattail. Take it to the BANK! Currently sitting at 4279/39 with a 72% completion rate with one game to go, Drew Brees is the only other QB to match those three. Baker might be the easiest QB to bank on production this week with a 28-point team implied total.
