Last week was so-so for our weekly article because we had a couple of guys get injured and got some dud outings from the Chiefs pass-catchers. Everything outside of those four went pretty well, though, and it has me excited to keep rolling here. This is the first slate with games on Saturday, so be sure to check your lineups before then!
NOTE: In the consideration section, DraftKings price is first, and FanDuel price is second!

The players below are ones I’m looking at for cash game considerations for Week 15:
Quarterbacks
DraftKings
Kyler Murray (QB – ARI): $7,900, vs. DET
On Monday, Kyler had one of his worst games of the season but still threw for 383 yards and ran for an additional 61 yards. That’s a good indicator of how ridiculous this guy is, scoring at least 22 DraftKing points in all but two games this season. That’s just what you want from a cash-game quarterback, especially in a matchup like this. Arizona gets to face Detroit, who ranks 29th in points allowed and 28th in yardage surrendered.
Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI): $6,600, vs. WAS
It’s weird to see Hurts this cheap on DK. He’s the third highest-priced quarterback on FanDuel but sits outside the Top-5 on DraftKings. That alone makes him a solid option over there, establishing himself as one of the best fantasy quarterbacks around. The youngster had at least 21 DK points in each of his first seven games and is tied with Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB) with 23 DraftKings points per game. He’s hit a bit of a wall recently but facing a Washington team that surrenders the most fantasy points to opposing signal-callers should get him right back on track.

He’s hit a bit of a wall recently but facing a Washington team that surrenders the most fantasy points to opposing signal-callers should get him right back on track.
FanDuel
Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB): $7,600, at BAL
A-Rod just went nuts on Sunday Night, and it’s hard to understand why he’s outside of the Top-5 on FanDuel. This dude has been as consistent as anyone, scoring at least 21 FD points nine times this season. He’s been even better recently, posting a 30-point average over his last three games. That’s easily one of the highest totals in the NFL, and it shouldn’t be challenging to continue that with Baltimore owning a 22nd OPRK against opposing quarterbacks this season.
Dak Prescott (QB – DAL): $7,500, at NYG
Dak has struggled the last four weeks, but it’s just a matter of time before he gets rolling again. We say that because all he’s lacking are the touchdowns, attempting at least 39 passes in all of those games. We’re still talking about a guy who averaged nearly 25 FD points per game before that and will surely get back on track if he continues to sling the ball 40 times a game. This rough four-game stretch correlates with some of his weapons being out of the lineup, but they are at full health for the first time in a month. The icing on the cake is this matchup, though, with the Giants sitting 26th in yardage surrendered. That was on full display when Dak reached 300 yards and three touchdowns in their first meeting this season.
In Consideration: Josh Allen (QB – BUF): $8,100/$8,700, vs. CAR
Running Backs
DraftKings
James Conner (RB – ARI): $6,400, at DET
Conner went crazy on Monday Night, and it marks the seventh-straight game in which he’s scored a touchdown. That’s precisely what you want from a cash-game back, with JC averaging 26 DK points per game across his last five outings. That’s Derrick Henry’s (RB – TEN) average for the season, showing how fabulous Conner has been recently. The matchup might be the best part of this, though, with Detroit surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
Eli Mitchell (RB – SF): $6,200, vs. ATL
Mitchell should clear concussion protocols and return to his workhorse role for the 49ers. The stud back has recorded at least 22 carries in three straight games, averaging over 18 fantasy points per game across his last six outings. That’s one of the best averages in the NFL in that span, and it should be easy to duplicate here with Atlanta owning a 24th OPRK against opposing backs. The game script is perfect, too, with San Fran entering this matchup as an 8.5-point favorite.
FanDuel
Najee Harris (RB – PIT): $8,800, vs. TEN
Najee is simply one of the best cash game options because of his ridiculous role. This guy never gets off the field, averaging 18.2 carries and 4.6 catches per game. Those 23 touches rank near the top of the league, and it’s led to Harris scoring at least 14 FanDuel points in all but two games this season. Tennessee is no easy matchup, but it doesn’t matter with usage like this.
Myles Gaskin (RB – MIA): $6,600, vs. NYJ
Gaskin has finally seized the workhorse role in Miami. The young back has gotten at least 12 carries in six straight games, scoring at least 13 FanDuel points in four of those. That’s all you can ask for from a player in this price range, and the matchup should allow him to feast if this workload continues. We say that because the Jets are surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. That was crystal clear when Gaskin gobbled up 17 FD points in their last meeting a few weeks back.
In Consideration: James Robinson (RB – JAC): $5,400/$6,300, vs. HOU
Wide Receivers
DraftKings
Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR): $9,000, vs. SEA
I mean, this guy just had 13 catches on Monday night in one of the toughest matchups out there. If that doesn’t sway you, maybe him leading the NFL in targets, receptions, touchdowns, and receiving yards will. That makes him an easy cash-game option on every slate, scoring at least 26 DraftKings points nine times this season. But, of course, Seattle is a sensational matchup, too, surrendering the most passing yards in the NFL.
Amari Cooper (WR – DAL): $6,400, at NYG
Coop has been inconsistent all year, but health has been a significant reason. A couple of duds has kept his price low, but playing in fewer than 50 percent of the snaps will do that to anyone. Amari is a stud when he’s in there, scoring at least 15 DK points in five of the nine healthy games he’s played. The four games he didn’t were tough matchups, but New York is far from that. Cooper had six catches for 60 yards and a touchdown in their first meeting, with New York ranked 26th in total defense this year.
FanDuel
Davante Adams (WR – GB): $8,500, at BAL
Adams has at least six catches in six straight games and is coming off one of the season’s best performances on Sunday. DA dropped 29 FD points on a stingy Chicago defense, giving him a 24-point average over the last three outings. Anyone with that sort of production and role should be competing for the top slot in terms of salary, but Adams sits $500 below the highest-priced guy on FD. Baltimore is not the blistering matchup it used to be either, with the Ravens owning a 19th OPRK against opposing wideouts.
Diontae Johnson (WR – PIT): $7,200, vs. TEN
DJ has developed into the new Antonio Brown (WR – TB) for Ben Roethlisberger (QB – PIT), leading the Steelers in every significant receiving category. Johnson has double-digit targets in all but two games this season, with both of those being shortened by injuries. That’s a good indicator of this guy’s floor, averaging 16 FanDuel points per game across his last four fixtures. The secondary is one weakness for this Titans team, too, with Tennessee sitting 22nd in passing yards allowed.
In Consideration: Deebo Samuel (WR – SF): $8,200/$8,200, vs. ATL
Tight Ends
DraftKings
Mark Andrews (TE – BAL): $6,400, vs. GB
Andrews is now the top-scoring tight end in fantasy after a Travis Kelce (TE – KC) dud on Sunday, and it’s hard to understand why he remains so affordable on DraftKings. The Ravens receptions leader has scored at least 11 DK points on nine occasions this year, en route to a 17-point average. That makes him hard to fade after a 32-point masterpiece last week, especially since he’s seen at least eight targets in six straight games.
FanDuel
George Kittle (TE – SF): $7,800, vs. ATL
Kittle is feasting right now. The San Fran stud has 22 receptions for 332 yards and three touchdowns over his last two games. That’s a good season for a lot of these crappy tight ends, and it’s clear that he’s the only target for Jimmy G right now. Atlanta is an excellent matchup, too, with the Falcons ranked 25th in total defense this season.
In Consideration: Dallas Goedert (TE – PHI): $5,300/$6,000, vs. WAS
Defense/Special Teams
DraftKings
Miami Dolphins D/ST: $3,700, vs. NYJ
The Jets have been the best matchup for D/STs for what seems like a decade now. They’re currently allowing the most fantasy points to oppose D/STs and will surely struggle against one of the hottest defenses in the NFL. Miami has allowed 17 or fewer points in five straight fixtures, allowing 10 points or fewer in four of those. That’s why they enter this matchup as an 8.5-point favorite, with the Jets looking at a minuscule 17-point total.
FanDuel
Arizona Cardinals D/ST: $4,800, at DET
The Cardinals rank third on this slate with 8.5 FD points per game, and they have one of the best matchups in football here. The Lions currently rank 25th in total yardage and 30th in points scored. That’s why Arizona enters this matchup as a massive 13.5-point favorite and why the Lions are projected for just 17 points.
In Consideration: Buffalo Bills D/ST: $3,100/$4,900, vs. CAR
