Editor’s Note: We may not write up every player we consider to be a top play. Be sure to consult the chart at the bottom of the page. This page will be updated, if necessary.
You don’t have to play cash games to understand why it’s important to grasp them. Players we consider for cash are the ones we believe are the most underpriced, have the best floor/ceiling combo, and feature a relatively tight range of outcomes.
In other words, these are the best plays on the board once price, slate context, and positional depth are accounted for. Those sound like pretty good options for GPPs as well.
The optimal GPP lineup will mix some of these cash-type plays with higher-variance options in correlated lineups. In cash games (where roughly 50% of the field gets paid out), we don’t worry about ownership or game stacks or correlation. In large-field tournaments, our ACO (average cumulative ownership) should stay reasonably low. Please read this article and listen to Episode 237 of the podcast for more on large-field tournament strategy.
With all that said, these are our Top Plays considering the following factors: median 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.”
QUARTERBACK
Bryce Perkins ($9,800) – While we know Panthers HC Mike Nolan is perfectly content trotting out a 2-QB system, that’s far less likely here with Danny Etling (concussion) ruled out and now QB2 Rocky Lombardi yet to take a single UFL snap. That leaves us fairly confident that we’ll see a full game of Perkins, who to this point has been one of spring football’s most efficient fantasy producers on a per-dropback basis. He’s completing 69.2% of his passes for 7.5 YPA and a 1:1 TD:INT ratio. He’s also handled 22.4% of the team’s total rushing attempts, adding a 19/74/3 rushing line, profiling as a legitimate threat near the goal line. Now he’ll get a Memphis defense that just struggled against a Houston Roughnecks offense that has been spiraling.
