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 once on Sunday morning, if necessary.
DFS Optimizer? We do not have an optimizer, but we have a promotional deal with FantasyLabs. With this add-on, you will gain access to their optimizer and it will come pre-loaded with both ETR projections and Adam Levitan’s ownership projections. Click here for details.
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, 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.
For more tournament content, check out our projections (DraftKings, FanDuel), Gary Hartman’s GPP Leverage Article, GPP Game Scores and Friday’s Establish The Million show with Drew Dinkmeyer and Mike Leone.
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”.
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
Lamar Jackson ($7300 DK, $8500 FD) – Lamar gets the Jets, and as much as we can be excited about their improved personnel, this is still the ultimate dual-threat QB in our game against a team that gave up a ton of huge scores to QBs last year. Lamar is a top play across all formats.
