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

Haynes King (GT – DK $8,100, FD $9,500) – King gets one of the best matchups on the slate. We saw UNC let Pitt’s Eli Holstein shred them through the air and on the ground. King should be able to do much of the same. He didn’t have to do too much last week against Duke, but before that, he had put up at least 23 fantasy points in three straight games. UNC is giving up chunks of yardage through the air, and their offense plays at a top-25 tempo in the country. King should be in line for a big week, despite being on the road. GPP Recommendation: 0 to 2 pass catchers in stack.
