The NFL’s offense is finally getting back to what we know and love, passing attacks that put up big points and bankable volume. With another fun week on tap, let’s look at the best-looking plays for cash games (multipliers/double-ups) on both DraftKings and FanDuel this week.
NFL DFS Cash Game Lineup Advice & Picks (Week 6)
Quarterbacks
DraftKings
Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) $7,800 vs. WAS
Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels are two of the top QBs in scramble rate when trailing, with both registering double-digit scrambles. This could push fantasy points up in this game, which has one of the highest totals (52.5). Jackson averages 72.6 rushing yards per game and has scored over 23 points in four out of five games. With the Commanders playing Cover-2 at a high rate, Lamar excels, ranking second in deep throw rate (29%) and fifth in yards per attempt (10.47). Three of the five QBs facing Washington finished as top-7 that week. He’s a cash-game lock.
Justin Fields (QB – PIT) $5,800 vs. LV
The Steelers haven’t been dynamic, but Justin Fields offers a high floor. Facing a defense ranking 27th against the run and 26th against the pass, Fields averages 8.8 rush attempts per game for 34.4 yards, with three rushing TDs. He’s facing a defense that’s allowed six passing TDs in the last three games and should perform well.
FanDuel
Daniel Jones (QB – NYG) $6,800 vs. CIN
Daniel Jones has been top-12 in three of the last four games. Without Malik Nabers, he’s still effective against a Bengals defense ranking 25th in pass defense. The Bengals have given up 29+ rushing yards to QBs in four of five games, and Jones can exploit that.
Dak Prescott (QB – DAL) $8,000 vs. DET
Dak Prescott faces a Lions defense that’s given up 300 passing yards in 50% of their games. Prescott has averaged 21.0 points over the last three weeks and should have a strong floor in this matchup.
Running Backs
DraftKings
Bijan Robinson (RB – ATL) $6,600 vs. CAR
Bijan Robinson faces the Panthers, who allow the second-most RB fantasy points. Carolina has given up 10 rushing TDs to RBs, and Robinson is in a prime spot for a breakout game.
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR) $6,300 vs. ATL
Chuba Hubbard has averaged 21.6 touches over the last three games and finished no worse than RB7 in three consecutive performances. The Falcons defense struggles with Zone Concept runs, where Hubbard excels.
FanDuel
Tony Pollard (RB – TEN) $7,000 vs. IND
Tony Pollard has a 60-40 split in favour of him in the Titans backfield and has been strong, averaging 4.0 missed tackles per game. The Colts allow the ninth-most RB fantasy points, making Pollard a solid play.
Tyrone Tracy (RB – NYG) $5,800 vs. CIN
Tyrone Tracy is in play if Devin Singletary sits out. Tracy has 18 rush attempts for 129 yards, facing a Bengals defense ranking 22nd in run defense.
Wide Receivers
Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL) $5,300 vs. CAR
Darnell Mooney is averaging 9.25 targets per game since Week 2 and faces a Panthers defense allowing the tenth-most WR points. At $5300, Mooney offers a high floor and upside.
Diontae Johnson (WR – CAR) $6,100 vs. ATL
Diontae Johnson leads the league in red zone targets and is averaging 11.0 targets per game. He has a favourable matchup against the Falcons.
Tight Ends
Jake Ferguson (TE – DAL) $5,000 vs. DET ($6,100 on FanDuel)
Jake Ferguson has been consistent, finishing as TE3, TE6, and TE7 in recent weeks. He’s done all this without a touchdown, making him an attractive cash-game option.
Tucker Kraft (TE – GB) $4,800 vs. ARI ($6,000 on FanDuel)
Tucker Kraft is now a top-5 option with Luke Musgrave on IR. Kraft has had back-to-back TE1 performances and faces a defense that struggled against George Kittle.
