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.

Week 6 Main Slate Podcast
Locked-In Cash Plays
Chris – TE is a solid salary saver now that pricing is tighter and Tucker Kraft seems underpriced for his role. The YAC man is playing a Bengals defense, which ranks dead last in Fantasy Points Allowed at 15.2 per game. Seems like a bar he can jump over relatively easily.
Betz – I’m usually not a Rachaad White guy, but on this particular slate, his $6K tag just fits so nicely for cash games, and with Bucky Irving, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan still out of the lineup, White is a strong candidate to see a bump in his pass game usage this week. Last week without Bucky, White played 80% of the snaps and had 18 total opportunities and got all three of Tampa’s RB rush attempts from inside the 10-yard line. The Niners have given up the fourth-most RB receptions in the league.
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.
At QB this week, there’s no real elite scramblers or rushing threats, which makes it an interesting dynamic with pocket passers dominating the player pool. As a result, we’re targeting some of the secondary rushers and/or QBs in great game environments with good matchups. In cash, expect to see a decent amount of Drake Maye and/or Trevor Lawrence, but in GPPs, don’t be afraid to get off the board with stacks and game environments you like. There’s plenty of options despite this being only a 10-game main slate.
