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 watch this episode of the podcast for more on large-field tournament strategy.
For more tournament content, check out our projections, Sam Brott’s GPP Leverage Article, and Saturday’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
Brock Purdy ($6,500 DK, $8,100 FD) – Purdy finally gets Christian McCaffrey back, Jauan Jennings is healthy, and both Deebo Samuel and George Kittle look ready to roll, too. No Brandon Aiyuk certainly hurts, but this is arguably the healthiest the San Francisco receiving corps has been all season, with CMC back, and the Tampa Bay defense has been a sieve of late.
