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

Shedeur Sanders (COL – DK $8,900, FD $11,400) – Texas Tech continues to hemorrhage big passing days to opposing QBs, as every Big 12 QB has thrown for at least 274 yards against this defense and they are allowing 282.4 passing yards per game on the season (125th nationally). It’s a great spot for Sanders to be in line to hit the 300-yard bonus for the sixth time this year, and he’s even been running a little near the goal line with rushing TDs in two straight games. Overall, it’s a great matchup, and he’s also finally dropped down to a more palatable price point on DK at $8,900 compared to the $9,500+ tag earlier this year. GPP Recommendation: 1 to 2 pass catchers in stack.
