Draftkings Cash Game Thoughts Week 13

Jon Kelly

QB:

$7K Lamar Jackson vs San Francisco 49ers

This is one of the worst prices I have seen this season. The Draftkings algorithm is likely factoring in the matchup too heavily as the Niners are a strong defense. That being said, defense in general is overrated in terms of DFS and especially against a player like Lamar Jackson who has shredded every opponent this season including the Patriots a few weeks ago. Jackson has scored over 32 DK points in over half his games and has scored under 20 points just once all season. He remains the highest floor and ceiling QB this week regardless of the matchup.

$4.7K Andy Dalton vs New York Jets

The Bengals have named Andy Dalton the starter which is pretty big news considering how cheap he is. If you need the salary then it makes sense to drop to Andy Dalton who scored over 20 DK points in four of his eight games this season prior to being benched. Additionally, the Jets are bottom half in the league in fantasy points allowed to QBs and this game has already risen two whole points since open.

RB:

$10.5K Christian McCaffrey vs Washington Redskins

After seeing CMC low owned in cash last week, I think we see him much higher this week with a little more value on this slate. He remains the top play every slate based on his usage and it also helps he is a heavy home favorite this week as well.

$5.6K Kenyan Drake vs Los Angeles Rams

David Johnson is officially dust and Kenyan Drake has been the Cardinals primary back over the last few weeks. He is also very involved in the passing game with seven targets in back to back games. At such an affordable price tag, he is one of my favorite plays at the position this week in a game that has shootout potential.

WR:

$5K Dede Westbrook vs Tampa Bay Bucs

Dede Westbrook is a strong value this week in the mid-tier. He has the best possible matchup for WRs as Tampa Bay has given up the most fantasy points to WRs this season. Westbrook has eight or more targets in four of his last six games and has been involved more with Nick Foles back under center. He is also due for some positive touchdown regression as he hasn’t found pay dirt since Week one.

$5.7K DeVante Parker vs Philadelphia Eagles

Historically, Parker has been known as a fantasy disappointment but he has shredded that narrative this season and especially over the last few weeks. Parker was already having a solid season and he has been getting a ton of air yards as well. Now with no Preston Williams, Parker has been a total stud with 31 targets over the last three weeks. He’s been over 55 receiving yards in six straight games and has a positive matchup against the Eagles.

TE:

$3.3K Jack Doyle vs Tennessee Titans

Doyle was already in play as a punt at TE with four or more targets in five straight games. Now Eric Ebron has been ruled out for the season and Doyle instantly becomes the lock at TE this week. At such a cheap price tag, he is the best value on the entire slate. He is the only play at TE in cash and if you play someone else then send me a H2H request.

D/ST:

$2.6K Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers

I wrote up the Cleveland Browns as a bet this week and they are also my top D/ST play of the week. They are headed to Pittsburgh to face an injury-riddled offense and their defense has been clicking lately. They are averaging three sacks per game over their last five and now get to face some guy named Devlin Hodges. They are the only D/ST in play for cash this week.
