NFL DFS Week 4: Cash game breakdown
NFL DFS Week 4: Fantasy football cash game breakdown
So…of course I have to eat my words right after saying them regarding the Thursday night game and using it fantasy football. I had said you’re typically better off fading the Thursday night game in your full slate fantasy football DFS cash games. Wellll….this week was not the case. What a high scoring affair! If you have Jordan Howard in your season long leagues and you actually started him…congratulations. I really liked MVS this week in fantasy football and DFS because he was super cheap, has been getting targets, and the Eagles are horrendous in the secondary. Turns out basically everyone except MVS proved me right about that last part. In the words of the emperor Bill Belichick, we’re onto the main slate.
I’m planning on providing you with the cash game fantasy football DFS plays for the main slate for both FanDuel and DraftKings in this article. Ideally, this will come out on Friday’s or Saturday’s each week once we’ve had an opportunity to identify the chalk. When I say chalk, I mean the players who will be the highest owned in your DFS fantasy football contests. This week, the chalk looks mighty gross to be honest. I’m thinking I may finally fade the chalk and go a bit more contrarian and hope the high owned fantasy football plays don’t do well. There is definitely risk in not playing the high owned guys in fantasy football DFS cash games though. If they crush and you didn’t play them, you’re done for.
This article is going to try and key in on the good chalk plays so you can play them in fantasy football DFS cash games and be safe. I also highly recommend checking out the game by game breakdown done by Joe Metz which can be found here. Cash games are 50/50s, head to head games, and double-ups. Double ups are going to likely be the hardest of these types of games. Also, do not enter the big double ups unless you’re maxing them out. Without further ado, let’s dive into the fantasy football DFS cash plays this week!
