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

• Locked cash games
• CORE plays
• Game stacks we love
• Full fades of the week
• Favorite lever plays
• Favorite dart throws
• The boldest calls of the week

Locked cash games

Deposit – CMC is locked into my setup on both sites. The price is irrelevant. Last week’s usage showed you everything you needed to know: 19 touches and 88% of snaps. His price on DraftKings is laughable considering the kind of upside we’ve seen from this superhuman. Start with CMC and build around him.

Betz – Agreed on McCaffrey. I’ll add that too Devon Achane looks great this week given his pass-catching role in Miami’s offense. He had more than five receptions in every Tua start, and last week Raheem Mostert didn’t register a single carry. With the Dolphins favored by a TD at home against the Raiders, Achane should have a very nice day.

DraftKings core plays

These are the 3-5 players at each position that we have mixed into our cash player pool. Based on salaries, late news, and budget constraints, it’s guaranteed that you won’t be able to fit into all of these positions. But their high floors and team implied totals allow them to play great this week, both in cash and GPPs.

These are simply listed in order of favorite core players. Obviously you can’t fit everyone into a cash lineup and there are salary considerations for paying at each position.

This week is tough at QB because you have 3 different levels to choose from. “Paying” for Brock Purdy feels relative because he isn’t insanely expensive. However, you will make sacrifices at a WR spot if you choose Purdy over the cheap options like Jameis or Arich. Richardson has Pittman back, but major OLine issues have him dropping into our ranks from the moment we first spoke on the podcast. Russ appears to be an option on the high floor against the passing funnel Ravens, but Bo Nix may feel more secure knowing his rushing floor.
