DraftKings Cash Game Plays: NFL Week 11
DraftKings Cash Game Plays: NFL Week 11
The NFL Week 11 slate is ready for us to attack, but first, let's think about how to react to the last few DFS slates. With ten weeks' worth of data, it's hard not to overreact to what we saw on the field, particularly as injuries and outlier performances pile up. Let other people chase the outcome stats, and we will instead focus on usage and opportunity.
We will go through each position at a variety of salary levels to see who are the best plays in cash games on DraftKings. For these purposes, a cash game is any contest that pays out at least one-third of the field. While these are also viable GPP options, we are primarily looking for a safe floor combined with high usage that can lead to ceiling games.

Below are my cash game results in Week 9 for double-ups, 50/50s, and head-to-heads:

Another split ticket day on Sunday where I was right on the cash line, so I doubled up on some of my contests and missed others. I was very happy with this team heading into lock; perhaps too happy because I left for a family birthday party and therefore could not react to the Ezekiel Elliott news fast enough. Lesson learned there. As a result, Travis Etienne and the Vikings defense stayed in my lineup instead of pivoting to Tony Pollard and the Cardinals' defense. That swing cost me a sure win in all contests and required me to live on a razor's edge that afternoon, forcing me to endure the following:
- Donovan Peoples-Jones gets one more receiving yard (for the 100-yard bonus), I cash everywhere
- Dameon Pierce gets six more rushing yards (for the 100-yard bonus), I cash everywhere
- Tony Pollard does not get the last rush in regulation (giving him the 100-yard bonus), I cash everywhere
- Juju Smith-Schuster does not get a concussion early in the game, I cash everywhere
Some weeks (like in Week 9), you're the windshield. Other weeks, you're the bug.
