Understanding optimal lineups for cash games is extremely important, even if you only play tournaments. Players in our cash pool are the ones we believe are the most underpriced, have the best floor/ceiling combo, and typically feature a relatively tight range of outcomes. These are the best plays on the board when considering price, context, and positional scarcity. These are usually pretty good options for GPPs as well.

The optimal GPP lineup will typically mix some of these cash-type plays with higher-variance options, often in correlated lineups. In cash games (where roughly 50% of the field gets paid out), we don’t worry about ownership, game stacks, or correlation. In large-field tournaments, we should be much more mindful of ownership. For more tournament content, check out our projections, and Friday’s live show, Establish The Show: The College Years, with Alex Hardin, Ben Pritchett, and Sean Newsham.

These are our Top Plays considering the following factors: mean projection, matchup, upside, and value. Ownership is NOT considered here. Generally speaking, these players are what we consider to be “head-to-head and 50/50 considerations”.

They are listed in price descending order (NOT ranked by “best play”). At the bottom, you’ll find suggested rankings by site once salary is accounted for.

QUARTERBACK

Garrett Greene (WVU – DK $8,000, FD $10,200) – It took a few weeks, but Garrett Greene finally flashed the big dual-threat upside we saw from him last year, as he put up a big game against Kansas. Now he draws an Oklahoma State defense that is hemorrhaging big games to QBs, in a game with a total sitting in the mid-60s. This Oklahoma State defense has been carved up by the dual-threat QBs they’ve faced, as Taylen Green had 416 passing yards and 61 rushing yards, while Avery Johnson had 250 passing yards and 60 rushing yards with five total TDs. The Utah freshman QB also had 41 rushing yards against this defense and has otherwise failed to top 10 rushing yards in a game. GPP Recommendation: 0 to 1 pass catchers in stack.
