NFL Cash Game Lineup Advice: Week 17 (Main Slate)

The NFL regular season is nearing the end as we turn the calendars to a new year. With all of the college bowl games, it brings us a huge 14-game main slate on Sunday. Despite the big slate, there are only two games with a Vegas total of over 47 points: marquee matchups between the Cowboys and Cardinals and the Chiefs and Bengals.

As you would expect, we will want to get some pieces of those two games into our DraftKings and FanDuel cash game lineups, especially the passing games. However, there are also some strong plays from teams who are a touchdown or more favorite that we should be focusing on at running back. It is going to be fun Week 17! Happy New Year!

The players below are ones I’m looking at for cash game considerations for Week 17 main slates:

Quarterbacks

DraftKings

Trey Lance (SF): $4,800 vs. HOU
While the 49ers are leaving the door open for Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) to play on Sunday, it seems more likely that Trey Lance will get the start. He has a dirt-cheap price tag on DraftKings and draws a good matchup against the Texans that should play to the rookies’ strengths.

Growing up, I was always intrigued with stats, from the back of baseball, football and basketball cards to playing dice rolling simulation games, while tracking the stats for the players on my team. My fantasy sports obsession began in college running fantasy football leagues with friends and has expanded into playing in both fantasy baseball and fantasy basketball leagues, and most recently Daily Fantasy Sports. I consider myself a “stats guy” by nature and lean on data to back up my advice and analysis of strategy techniques and player evaluations. That said, I have also always felt that sometimes you must go with a gut instinct based on things you have seen watching players play, even when the numbers don’t back it up. I feel that it is this mix of analysis that leads to the most successful formula when competing in fantasy sports. I am married and have twin boys who I am raising to be sports and fantasy junkies just like me.
