Welcome to Week 1 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 be using data from 2022 for the first 3-4 weeks of the season until we get a big enough sample to use for 2023.
- Green means GO (good for the player) while red reflects a poor rating/matchup. The more green, the better...
- In fact, CASH CORE pieces are highlighted with BRIGHT GREEN highlighter on the chart for extra emphasis.
- 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.
- Passing and Rushing game matchups no longer use the DVOA statistic, instead, we are looking strictly at yards created and allowed per game by offenses and defenses.
- 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.

This is where I want to give you some other players who will be in my player pool, who didn't make the cut for the cheat sheet. The main recommended plays are always going to be geared more toward cash games and single-entry tournaments, but here are some lower-owned options for large-field tournaments.
QB: Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Jordan Love
RB: Kenneth Walker, Alexander Mattison, Cam Akers, Brian Robinson Jr., Rachaad White, Deon Jackson
WR: Deebo Samuel, Rashid Shaheed, Christian Kirk, Jonathan Mingo, Puka Nacua, Jayden Reed
TE: Evan Engram, Chigoziem Okonkwo, David Njoku, Luke Musgrave
DEFENSE (In the order of safest to riskiest): WAS, SEA, GB, TB, PIT, CHI
Week 10 DFS Slate Notes
Sunday Morning Update:
We have official word that Mark Andrews is out, making Isaiah Likely an addition to the player pool at 3k. I don't think you have to force him into cash. There is no guarantee that they feature him at all to the extent that they do Andrews, but he's still far too cheap for a guy who should play a bunch of snaps on a team expected to score a lot of points.
Zack Moss is doubtful, so Deon Jackson because cash viable on DraftKings, where he's a better play than on FanDuel due to his pass-catching. At only 4.1k, he opens some stuff up for sure.
Jerry Jeudy is now not expected to play, so we can still feel good about Marvin Mims Jr. in cash. I prefer him to Jayden Reed who is the other 3k punt.
Not too much else to update or watch for now, but definitely make sure you are following all the news right up until game time with our Rotoballer NFL news! Good luck this week!
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
MIN-TB: Cousins-Jefferson-Godwin (also consider Addison, Evans, Hockenson)
LAC-MIA: Herbert-Allen-Hill (also consider Williams, Mostert)
SEA-LAR: Smith-Metcalf-Higbee (also consider Akers, Smith-Njigba)

Please note that these are sample lineups we provide as a tool for you to use. They are designed to give you building block options as you go about choosing your own lineups, but in no way can we guarantee success.
