Each week we will review some of the content found in the DFS Pass and discuss some of our most confident plays heading into Sunday. A lot can change over the weekend, especially with injury news (See Betz’s Injury Blitz podcast) and roster percentages shifting who is in-or-out before roster lock time. Let’s review.

Locked-In Cash Plays
Borg – Among all the expensive options this week, Ja’Marr Chase is the one I am locking in my cash game lineup. The volume with Joe Flacco is unreal averaging 15.5 targets per game over his last four with top-12 performances in all four of them. The game environment in Pittsburgh also profiles as the best of the week. He’s locked-in.
Betz – Trey McBride is way too cheap for his role with Jacoby Brissett under center, especially with Marvin Harrison Jr. out this week. No disrespect to his teammates, but he’ll be sharing the field with some borderline NFL talent…how does he not walk away from this game with double digit targets against a Niners defense that’s dealing with major injury issues?
DraftKings Core Plays
These are the 3-5 players at each position we have mixed in our cash player pool. Based on salaries, late news, and budget constraints, it is guaranteed you will not be able to fit in all of them. But their high floors and team-implied totals make them great plays for the week in both cash & GPPs.
These are simply in order of favorite core players. You obviously won’t be able to fit all in a cash lineup and there are salary tradeoffs for paying up at each position.
Are you rolling with Josh Allen or spending down with “Nine” or Beef Brisket? That is a sentence I’m not sure has ever been written in the history of mankind so…you’re welcome. McCarthy projects the best at his price point at home in a dome against a horrendous Bears defense that will be without multiple players in the secondary. Brissett does have the track record and passing volume over his last four starts that might make you feel more comfortable. However, there is a point where the bottom falls out of this Brissett experience so having too many Cardinals in cash might be pushing it too much. Allen is the safer route to go if you have the salary to go around.
