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
Mike DiLiello ($6,000) – Whew boy, it is the wild, wild west as we head into the regular-season finale, where the games are meaningless and the points don’t matter — any Whose Line is it Anyway fans out there? Regardless, it’s resulted in a revolving door at QB that will see the Defenders’ QB2, Mike DiLiello, get his first start in the UFL after handling 57.6% of the team’s dropbacks in Week 9. At the QB minimum on DraftKings, DiLiello represents supreme DFS value, operating in the league’s friendliest fantasy environment that should still see them drop back plenty with an up-pace tempo, surrounded by one of the league’s deepest pass-catching rooms, even if some of the usual suspects see their playing time limited. DiLiello is also capable of running when necessary, as evidenced by his 322/1,499/27 rushing line throughout his collegiate career.
