Welcome to Week 10 of the NFL Season! Each week, I'll be bringing you our famous NFL DFS Cheat Sheet with expert research and picks for cash games and GPPs. Here are a few notes about the sheet.
- I will now be using data exclusively from 2022!
- The "fantasy points allowed rank" reflects how a player's opponent ranked in fantasy points allowed to their specific position. The lower the number, the better the matchup.
- DVOA is a stat created by Football Outsiders that stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average and takes into account the quality of the previous offensive opponents. This rating is being shown for both the offensive player's team and their opponent.
- A play labeled "cash" is a higher-owned play that is recommended for cash games. A "strong" play is playable in all formats. "Slate-breakers" are some of my favorite GPP targets for upside or reduced ownership.
- Vegas and risk columns will all be updated during the week to reflect injury info, weather info, and the most recent Vegas info.

RB: Alvin Kamara, Tony Pollard

DEFENSE: Vikings (chalk if Keenum starts), Cardinals, Steelers (my fave), Titans
Week 10 DFS Slate Notes
***Saturday Updates***
Okay, peeps, I might be on vacation but I am still going to be dialed in to this NFL DFS slate this week.
Dameon Pierce has entered the cash cores. I loved this spot earlier in the week, but now that I am seeing his ownership rise everywhere, I think this is chalk we want to eat now in cash to give ourselves some flexibility to jam in other good players without too many punts.
Speaking of punts, the Vikings D is the punt of the week if Case Keenum starts. If Josh Allen plays, you can still use them but I might pay a few more bucks for the Steelers with J.J. Watt back and coming off the bye.
The other position I am punting in cash is TE. Sorry, Travis Kelce but you are simply too expensive this week and I will get my exposure in GPPs. It's either Foster Moreau now that Darren Waller is out (on FanDuel, especially) or the Broncos' outstanding rookie Greg Dulcich (my preference on DK for only 200 more).
Fields and Mahomes are the top two QB plays, with Fields being more affordable on DK and Mahomes being an easy choice for only 200 more on FD. The stacking options with Fields include Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, while Mahomes could be paired with JuJu, Kelce, or both if you're feeling frisky. We have some natural run-backs in these games, too, with Jamaal Williams (Swift has no restrictions but they continue to be super careful with him) or the chalky Amon-Ra St. Brown. For the Jags, it's ETN SZN against as he's chalk but I really like Christian Kirk here, too.
We definitely have some fluid situations yet. If Tennessee starts Ryan Tannehill, I will feel better about going with Derrick Henry over Saquon Barkley as my top back. If it's Willis again, I just get nervous that the whole offense bogs down and it's Denver this week, not an easy matchup like they had against Houston or KC the last two weeks.
Dallas says Zeke will play this week, but I wouldn't hesitate to get some Tony Pollard just in case they're bluffing or they just take it really easy on Zeke. It's a great spot for the Dallas run game.
Tyreek Hill is looking pretty chalky this week, and if you want to play him then I would consider pairing him with Tua to get off the Fields/Mahome chalk and even consider the double-stack with Waddle. The Browns have some nice bring-backs, too, including a very cheap DPJ (Donovan Peoples-Jones).
NOTE: I have Jaylen Warren in my sample lineups as I really thought the Steelers might bench Najee, but I would stress that he's only a GPP play, not a cash punt based on there being no actual confirmation that he's taking over the backfield from Najee, it was just speculation.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
KC-JAX: Mahomes-Etienne-Juju/Kirk-Kelce
MIA-CLE: Tua-Tyreek/Waddle/Cooper/Peoples-Jones/Njoku
CHI-DET: Fields-Williams-St. Brown/Mooney/Kmet
