Juicy matchups setting up for big week
The struggles continue with my cash lineup builds.
Even with this week’s build, I feel a little uneasy. But I do love the process even though the results have been less than spectacular this season.
Last week I finished with 130.82 points with my cash lineup. It hit the green in half my cash tournaments as the cutline hovered in the 130 to 131 range.
This week has some favorable matchups which should lead to a more successful week, but as the NFL has shown this year, nothing is a given.

Onto this week’s Top Cash Plays:
My Top Play
Quarterback
Geno Smith, Seattle ($5,800)
Smith is just too cheap with the passing numbers he has been putting up this season.
In his last five games, he has averaged 45.2 pass attempts a game and now goes on the road to Atlanta. The Falcons are a 3-point favorite.
The only thing holding him back from having a big season has been the TD passes. He has thrown for exactly 1 TD in each game this season.
Other Cash QBs
Jayden Daniels, Washington ($7,600)
Kirk Cousins, Atlanta ($6,300)
Sneaky GPP QBs
Jordan Love, Green Bay ($6,900)
Joe Burrow, Cincinnati ($6,800)
My Top Play
Running Back
Kyren Williams, LA Rams ($8,100)
Williams may be small but he is mighty in real and fantasy football.
Williams is the best short yardage back in the league despite his diminutive stature in my opinion.
And he receives plenty of work (21.8 touches a game) and he has a nose for the end zone (7 TDs rushing and receiving this season).
Now the lowly Las Vegas run defense pays a visit to SoFi Stadium.
Other Cash RBs
Chubba Hubbard, Carolina ($6,500)
Tony Pollard, Tennessee ($6,300)
Sneaky GPP RBs
Chase Brown, Cincinnati ($5,900)
Trey Sermon, Indianapolis ($5,500)
My Top Play
Wide Receiver
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota ($8,500)
Jefferson just loves playing against the Detroit Lions.
In his career vs. the Vikings’ NFC North Division rival, Jefferson has averaged 134.5 receiving yards in 8 career games.
Plus, he’s dropped 141 or more receiving yards in his last three matchups vs. Detroit.
Other Cash WRs
Drake London, Atlanta ($6,900)
Juju Smith-Schuster, Kansas City ($4,000)
Sneaky GPP WRs
Cooper Kupp, LA Rams ($7,900)
Jayden Reed, Green Bay ($7,200)
My Top Play
Tight End
Grant Calcaterra, Philadelphia ($3,200)
For cash, I’m going with the cheap Calcaterra, who is replacing the injured Dallas Goedert.
The Giants have done a good job limiting the Philadelphia due of A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith.
And Goedert has pulled in 13 catches vs. the Giants in his last two full games which gives Calcaterra some upside.
Other Cash TE
Brock Bowers, Las Vegas ($5,800)
Sneaky GPP TE
George Kittle, San Francisco ($6,000)
Top DST
Buffalo ($3,500) home against Tennessee
Green Bay ($2,900) home against Houston
