Let's keep the success going in the second leg of the DFS DH
It was nice to get back to the winning side in DFS.
My cash line for the three Thanksgiving matchups crushed with 148.8 points, while one of two GPP lineups had a nice day as well with 145.5 points to cash easily.
I don’t usually go with a big stack in my cash lineup but with the three-game slate I believed it was a safe play. It delivered nicely with Josh Allen (28.7), Stefon Diggs (20.4) and Dawson Knox (18.2) each coming through with top 4 finishes at their positions for the day.
My Las Vegas-Dallas GPP stack could have been better if Darren Waller didn’t suffer a knee injury in the second quarter. Dak Prescott (28.3), Hunter Renfrow (24.6) and Cedrick Wilson (20.4) each had a 20+ day in scoring, while Michael Gallup just missed, finishing with 18.6 points.
Hopefully the second half of this week’s DFS DH is as successful as Thursday’s.

Onto this weekend’s top players!
Quarterback
Top Play
Tom Brady, Tampa Bay ($7,600): I believe this game is a going to be shootout. Plus, it’s getting late in the year if Brady wants to catch Peyton Manning’s all-time 55 TD passes in a season record.
Value Plays
Jimmy Garappolo, San Francisco ($5,700)
Cam Newton, Carolina ($5,600)
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh ($5,200)
This could be the start of a good fantasy run for Jimmy G, Newton’s rushing upside and TD vulturing give his price nice value, and call me crazy but Big Ben is my cash lineup QB this weekend to allow me to squeeze in some big names.
Running back
Top Play
Christian McCaffrey, Carolina ($9,000): He hasn’t had a ceiling game yet this year – it’s only a matter of time and his price is nice.
Value Plays
Jeff Wilson Jr., San Francisco ($5,300)
Miles Sanders, Philadelphia ($5,100)
Dontrell Hilliard, Tennessee ($4,600)
If Eli Mitchell is out again, Wilson becomes a great play (Jimmy G. missed him last week wide open in the end zone). Sanders doesn’t have to contend with Jordan Howard for touches, while Hilliard will be needed in a depleted backfield for his receiving skills.
Wide Receiver
Top Play
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota ($8,300): Jefferson has seen double digit targets the last two weeks and he has responded with 25.9 and 40.2 DraftKings points.
Value Plays
Michael Pittman, Indianapolis ($5,600)
Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco ($5,300)
Dez Fitzpatrick, Tennessee ($3,200) Pittman should benefit in the shootout game vs. the Bucs, and with Deebo Samuel helping more with the 49ers running game, Aiyuk has responded with 19.7 points or more in two of the last three games. Fitzpatrick gives you some salary relief and one of the few WR options for the Titans.
Tight End
Top Play
George Kittle, San Francisco ($6,400): He has scored a TD in three straight games since returning from IR.
Value Plays
Rob Gronkowski, Tampa Bay ($4,400)
Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh ($4,300)
Tyler Conklin, Minnesota ($3,700)
Like I said earlier, I expect the Bucs-Colts game to be a shootout. Freiermuth doesn’t have to contend with Eric Ebron (knee) this week, and Conklin has seen at least 3 targets in every game this season.
DraftKings Cash Core
Ben Roethlisberger, Christian McCaffrey, Diontae Johnson, Tyler Conklin
Sneaky Stacks
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Miles Sanders, Darius Slayton, Dallas Goedert
Tom Brady, Jonathan Taylor, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski
Jimmy Garappolo, Dalvin Cook, Deebo Samuel, Adam Thielen, George Kittle, Tyler Conklin
