DFS Week 7

Similar names return but are they must plays in cash lineups?

It is finally nice to write about the good part of last week's NFL schedule for me.


After floundering miserably with my Best Bets in my weekly Forecast, my cash lineup hit to give me a profitable weekend in DFS. But even it was a struggle early.


Thanks to a big second-half performances by Jonathan Taylor and Patrick Mahomes II in the early games and the Dallas DST in the afternoon games helped propel me to 148.98 points and easily within the cash lineup winnings.


My Sneaky Stacks both missed on the cash though as one just missed the money by less than five points.

I will be providing my main cash and GPP lineups on my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/fantasyfbguru


Onto this week’s list!


Quarterback

High

Patrick Mahomes II, Kansas City ($8,400 DraftKings, $8,800 FanDuel): I will continue to say it – he’s a better fantasy scorer on the road than at home.


Low

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia ($6,900 DK, $8,300 FD): I think he is the safest play on this slate with a close line (Las Vegas favored by 3) and a total of 49.


Running Back

High

Derrick Henry, Tennessee ($9,200 DK, $11,000 FD): Though I’m fading him in my cash lineup, he is a great play in GPPs as his ownership is expected to be lower than usual.


Low

Darrel Williams, Kansas City ($5,800 DK, $6,700 FD): He had 24 touches last week in the Chiefs’ high-powered offense and should see similar touches this week.


Wide Receiver

High

Davante Adams, Green Bay ($8,900 DK, $9,000 FD): Adams (36.3 target share) could have another huge game vs. the porous Washington secondary.


Low

Rashod Bateman, Baltimore ($3,400 DK, $5,300 FD): In his first game of the season, the rookie had 6 targets and a 22.2 percent target share.


Tight End

High

Kyle Pitts, Atlanta ($5,900 DK, $6,100 FD): The rookie TE should continue to see plenty of targets in a game that is expected to a shootout.


Low

Mike Gesicki, Miami ($4,700 DK, $6,000): Gesicki may be listed as a TE but he plays more like a slot receiver and has seen at least 6 targets a game since Week 2.


DraftKings Cash Core

Hurts, Darrell Henderson Jr., Adams, Bateman


Sneaky Stacks

Matt Ryan, Myles Gaskin, Calvin Ridley, Kyle Pitts


Derek Carr, Miles Sanders, Henry Ruggs III, Bryan Edwards
