GPP takedowns involve two things: locked-and-loaded cash plays that give us solid projections but will likely be popular. Plus, a few GPP plays that are low-owned, helping us separate from the field. Use these plays in conjunction with Julia Papworth’s Cash Picks Article, which you can find HERE.

For a deeper dive into GPP strategy, stay locked into the DFS and Betting Podcast. 

A final note before diving into the picks: there are only nine games on the main slate this week. Ownership will be funneled more to popular plays, so getting the low-owned pieces will likely be the difference in a huge takedown or min cashing.

Quarterback

Joe Burrow vs ARI | $8,700
Emo Joe may be a Debbie Downer on the podium, but he’s playing awesome on the field. Over the last month, he’s averaging 2.5 TDs a game, only behind Trevor Lawrence, and the Bengals have no qualms putting the ball up with a +.37 Pass Rate over Expectation. CIN loves having Burrow back and wants to make sure their ball players are, well, playing ball. Ja’Marr is a solid cash player, so in Single Entry and small fields, use Burrow as leverage if they have one of “those” games, considering the Bengals have a 30.5 team implied total at home.
