NFL DFS: DK Cash Player Pool – Fantasy Football Blueprint

It’s a crazy busy week, so let’s get to the list:

Quarterbacks

Jayden Daniels, $6500
Kyler Murray, $6800

I love running QBs in cash because the rushing yards increase the floor. It is even better when 2 of the best are facing each other’s terrible rushing defenses. I prefer Jayden for the salary savings.

Running Backs

Najee Harris, $5600
Breece Hall,$7800
Jordan Mason, $6700
Zack Moss, $5900
Cam Akers, $5300

There are a lot of midrange RBs this week, but my favorite is Najee Harris with Jaylen Warren out with a knee injury. I expect Breece to get a lot of work, with Denver currently naked first against the pass. Mason is still underpriced for the workload he should have.

Wide Receivers

Marvin Harrison, Jr., $7500
Rashee Rice, $7300
Nico Collins, $7200
Dionta Johnson, $5600
Brian Thomas, Jr., $5400

It is a good week to pay up for target monsters on DraftKings. With Trey McBride out, Marvin Harrison Jr’s target share should continue to increase. Rice and Collins are averaging 10 targets a week. Dionta Johnson is a bit of a flyer, but last week with Dalton at QB, he had 8 catches on 14 targets, for 144 Yards and a TD.

Tight End

Mike Gesicki, $3500
Brenton Strange, $3100

Tight End is kind of garbage this week and I am looking for savings to payup at Wide Receiver. Gesicki is quietly having a nice season, averaging 6 targets, but catching most of those.

Defense/Special Teams

Denver, $2500
Houston, $3000

Recent News

Luke Musgrave caught all three targets for 23 yards in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Eagles.
Musgrave failed to live up to the lofty shoes he is filling the Green Bay offense following the season-ending injury to Tucker Kraft, used mostly as a blocker in a game the Packers focused their efforts on the ground game. His next chance to return usable counting stats comes in Week 11 against a reeling Giants team that just fired its head coach.

Dontayvion Wicks caught 4-of-8 targets for 38 yards in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Eagles.
Wicks saw the most snaps for a team playing without Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden, stepping into the lead receiver role with the departure of Romeo Doubs early in the third quarter. He made a couple nice grabs but also committed one drop, appearing to be on the wrong page as quarterback Jordan Love on two other incompletions. That continues to be par for the Wicks course as the third-year receiver consistently alternates between flashes of brilliance and mental mistakes. Even so, he could be called on at an elevated rate once more when the Packers take on the reeling Giants in Week 11, pending multiple injury statuses.

Christian Watson caught 2-of-4 targets for 45 yards in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Eagles.
The headline should summarize Green Bay's offensive performance from this one. The team managed only 262 yards of total offense and failed to score until under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, with a Jordan Love fumble in the red zone to end the first half ultimately proving the difference in a tightly contest, 10-7 loss. Watson was not supposed to be this involved immediately after returning from a torn ACL suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 season, but mounting injuries have made it a necessity. The team played without Tucker Kraft, who will miss the rest of the season his own torn ACL, and rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden in this one and also lost Romeo Doubs to a chest injury in the third quarter. Watson could be asked to step up further when the team travels to face the Giants in Week 11.

Josh Jacobs rushed 21 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Eagles, adding 33 yards on five receptions.
Jacobs accounted for 107 of the team's 261 yards in a game played without Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden, with the Packers also losing wide receiver Romeo Doubs early in the third quarter. The team has now dropped consecutive home games to drop to 5-3-1 after holding the inside track to the lone bye out of the NFC through the first eight weeks. Jacobs reclaimed his role as one of the true workhorse backs remaining in the league now that he is past the calf injury that plagued the last month of his season, and fantasy managers can once again treat him as a locked-in RB1 ahead of a road meeting with the reeling Giants in Week 11.

A.J. Brown: Quiet in return to action Monday
Brown (hamstring) finished with two receptions on three targets for 13 yards in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.
