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
Jordan Ta’amu ($11,000) – Sure, on a one-game slate any QB is capable of leading the position in scoring, but for all intents and purposes, this is a two-horse race at the top of the Week 8 slate and projects to be as such for the remainder of the season. D.C.’s play volume has cratered in the last two weeks (57, 46), but part of that can be chalked up to defensive scoring and explosive plays limiting overall volume. This is still an up-tempo offense that should project for the most offensive snaps each week. They’ve also remained pass-heavy, dropping back on at least 60.7% of their plays in each of their last four games, including a season-high 70.8% in their last outing against this same Arlington team. Ta’amu also continues to use his legs plenty, handling 30% of the team’s rushing attempts over their last four games, compared to just 8% during their first three.
