Week 13 is here, so it’s time to build some NFL DFS cash game lineups.
Remember, when playing cash games, you want to target players with a nice combination of floor and ceiling. If there is a “free square” on the board, that is: A significantly underpriced player thrust into a huge bump in usage, then you can play them without thinking about how popular they’ll be among the field.
With that in mind, read on to learn more about my favorite DFS cash game picks for Week 13. We’ll provide pricing from both FanDuel and DraftKings for these picks. I’ll keep it tight, with two picks for each position.

Week 13 NFL DFS Cash Game Advice & Picks
The players below are the ones I’m looking at for NFL DFS cash game considerations this week.
Quarterbacks
Jacoby Brissett has been airing it out since taking over for Kyler Murray as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback. Since Week 6, Brissett is averaging 21.4 fantasy points per game, which ranks as the fantasy QB4 during that stretch. Up next is a great matchup against the Buccaneers, who just got picked apart by Matthew Stafford.
Cam Ward (QB – TEN) vs. JAC | DraftKings: $4,600/FanDuel: $6,400
Cam Ward just had the biggest game of his career, putting up 23 fantasy points against one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Seahawks. We’ve seen the rookie first overall pick rush for at least 30 yards in back-to-back games. Ward provides some nice salary relief to help you pay up for studs.
Running Backs
De’Von Achane is averaging 18.9 fantasy points per game, which ranks as the fantasy RB4 on the season. We’ve seen the Dolphins’ dynamic back show a high ceiling this year, featuring two games with 29+ points, including 37.5 in Week 10. This week, it’s a smash spot at home versus the Saints in a game where the Dolphins are 6-point favorites.
Ashton Jeanty has been highly disappointing, but there are a couple of factors working in his favor. For one, he’s been heavily featured in the passing game, racking up 14 receptions in his last two games. On top of that, with Chip Kelly fired, perhaps we see a rejuvenated Raiders offense with Jeanty as the focal point.
Wide Receivers
I haven’t regularly featured Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the column, and that needs to change immediately. The Seahawks superstar wideout is having a spectacular season, averaging 19.5 fantasy points per game, which is 2.5 points per game more than WR2 on the year (half-PPR scoring). Find a way to jam Smith-Njigba into your lineups.
Keenan Allen has slowed down considerably lately, putting up 53 yards or fewer in four consecutive games. However, I love his matchup against the Raiders. Vegas plays zone coverage at the highest rate in the NFL. Allen is by far the Chargers’ most effective wideout versus this type of coverage. Earlier this season, Allen ripped 5-61-1 against the Raiders.
Tight Ends
Brock Bowers comes at a nice discount this week, especially on DraftKings. That makes him a must-play in my eyes, especially in a Raiders-Chargers game that has sneaky shootout potential. As with Jeanty, I’m betting that the Raiders’ offense gets a boost with Chip Kelly out as offensive coordinator.
Brenton Strange has been highly consistent for the Jaguars this season, returning to action to put up five catches for 93 yards last week. Expect Strange to continue to operate as Trevor Lawrence‘s safety valve in an exploitable matchup against the Titans. Strange has 60+ yards in two of his last four games.
