Happy Thanksgiving, FootClan! On behalf of Kyle, Chris and our entire team, we couldn’t be more thankful to have all of you supporting our team and the DFS Pass. From our family to yours, we hope you have an amazing holiday filled with family, food and most importantly…football!

We’ve got a great beautiful three-game slate ahead of us on Thursday. Usually, we like to separate our best cash plays and GPP plays into two separate articles, but given the smaller slate, we’ll list all of our favorite plays here in this article for both DraftKings and FanDuel. Rather than listing a player as only a cash play or only a GPP play, we’ll provide some context around each recommended play to give you a sense of how we view that player in terms of cash game contests or tournaments. Note – on these smaller slates, we do lean more into tournament setting as the edge is generally smaller for cash games on these shorter slates.

For more info on this slate, be sure to check out Kyle’s Thanksgiving Pace of Play article and the special Tuesday episode of The DFS & Betting Podcast. Let’s get after it, ya Turkeys!

Editor’s Note – DraftKings analysis below was written by Matthew Betz while FanDuel analysis was provided by Chris Cash. 

DraftKings

Quarterback

Lamar Jackson $6,800 vs. CIN
Since Lamar’s return to the lineup, the Ravens are 18th in success rate and Lamar quite frankly, has not played particularly well. Over the last month, he’s completing just 62% of his passes for just 181.5 pass yards per game, and he hasn’t really gotten back to the elite scrambling ability we’ve come to love about Lamar for fantasy. But, if ever there was a get right spot for the Ravens and for Lamar to pop up for a big game, it’s a home matchup against a “defense” known as the Cincinnati Bengals. On the year, the Bengals are allowing a league-high 6.3 yards per play, and no defense has allowed more passing TDs than Cincy. Why is that relevant? Jackson has one total TD over his last three starts…all signs point to a bounce back for Lamar and the Ravens at home in primetime. No team in Week 13 has a higher implied team total than Jackson’s Ravens at 29.3.
