DraftKings NFL Cash Lineup Advice: Week 10 (2020)

DraftKings NFL Cash Lineup Advice: Week 10 (2020)

Below are the players that I am considering as my cash game core for this week’s main slate. I value consistency of volume and opportunity combined with potential upside when putting together my cash game lineup. Have a solid process, be sure to have FantasyPros notifications set up for Sunday morning, and remember to have fun!

Quarterback

Josh Allen (BUF): $7,500 @ ARI
Allen is back! After a couple of subpar games, he exploded for his fourth 30+ fantasy performance of the year. Now he gets the fast-paced Cardinals in what could be the highest scoring game of the day. If you are going to pay up for a quarterback, he makes for a good option. Overall, he is averaging 26.6 DKFP on the season.

Deshaun Watson (HOU): $6,900 @ CLE
Watson has thrown multiple touchdowns in six straight games and now gets a team that has given up the sixth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. We all know about his upside, but Watson’s worst performance in the last five weeks is 23.9 DKFP. That is a great floor for a cash game quarterback. His price even decreased by $200 from last week.

Others Considered:

Running Backs

Aaron Jones (GB): $7,100 vs. JAX
This is a smash spot for Jones, who is an every down back with goal line responsibilities at home against a bad defense. Cha-ching! On average, opposing running backs are getting 30 touches per game. Jones should see the majority of these and that means lots of opportunity for his explosive plays. On the season, he is averaging 21.8 DKFP.

Duke Johnson (HOU): $5,000 @ CLE
David Johnson is out and so Duke will get the start against his former team. #NarrativeStreet. This has the potential to be a game with a lot of plays run. Duke saw 20 touches last week while earning 16.3 DKFP. His upside is questionable but with his expected role this week and his work in the passing game, he should make for a nice cash game option.

Mike Davis (CAR): $4,000 vs. TB
The Buccaneers are really good against the run but at this ridiculous price, Davis will be the first player in my lineups. He is a lock regardless of matchup. Barring injury, he’ll return value even in a bad performance. CMC is out and the Panthers only really have Davis. He’s a free square.

Others Considered:

Wide Receivers

Michael Thomas (NO): $7,400 vs. SF
He only saw six targets last week returning from injury, but it was a blowout. He is a double-digit target monster when healthy. San Francisco allowed alpha Davante Adams to rack up a 10-173-1 stat line against them. Thomas had a 11-134-1 stat line last year in this same matchup. I point those two things out to say that an elite wide receiver can have a monster game against the 49ers, and he is an elite wide receiver.

Keenan Allen (LAC): $7,100 @ MIA
He leads the league in targets (10.8 per game), which is exactly what we are wanting in our cash game lineups. His 28.3 DKFP last week against Las Vegas was his third straight game of 20+ fantasy points.

Diontae Johnson (PIT): $5,200 vs. CIN
He has struggled to stay healthy but he two games of 20+ fantasy points in his limited action. He has seen double-digit target counts in four of the five games he’s healthy. Last week, he earned 14.1 DKFP in an ugly game for the Steeler. The Bengals have given up double digit targets to three different receivers this year and each of them have scored a touchdown and earned at least 19.7 DKFP.

Josh Reynolds (LAR): $3,500 vs. SEA
This is not for the faint of heart but if you want to punt a wide receiver spot in a juicy matchup, then Reynolds is a good option. He has six straight games of at least four targets, which isn’t terrible. However, he has seen 17 targets in the last two weeks. He is averaging 12 DKFP in the last three weeks. The Seahawks are giving up nearly 60 fantasy points to wide receivers each game, which is 12 more than the next worse team. This is a great matchup.

Others Considered:

Tight Ends

Darren Waller (LV): $5,900 vs. DEN
Waller leads the league with 9.0 targets per game and is priced lower than he should be. Waller has earned double-digit fantasy points in six of his eight games this season. If you are going to pay up a little bit at tight end, he is a great option for cash. He is averaging 14.4 DKFP this season.

Evan Engram (NYG): $4,500 vs. PHI
Three straight games of double-digit fantasy production during which time he has seen nearly 10 targets per game. This is what we are looking for when it comes to cash game considerations. He is similar to Waller except that he is $1,400 cheaper. He had six catches on nine targets for 46 yards a couple of weeks ago against the Eagles. That isn’t great but Golden Tate is out for the Giants, which could open up even more opportunity for Engram as he goes against a defense giving up the fourth most fantasy points to tight ends this season.

Others Considered:

Defense/Special Teams

Considering:

  • Pittsburgh Steelers DST: $4,400 vs. CIN
  • Green Bay Packers DST: $3,700 vs. JAX
  • New Orleans DST: $3,000 vs. SF
  • Arizona Cardinals DST: $2,600 vs. BUF
  • Los Angeles Rams DST: $2,200 vs. SEA
