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.
- We are officially now using 2023 DATA!
- 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 are once again DVOA ratings as I regained access to that metric and I find it to be super helpful.
- 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.
Premium NFL DFS Cheat Sheet - Week 10
Cash Game Cores
DraftKings: McCaffrey-Mixon-Brown-Hopkins
FanDuel: Pollard-Mixon-Hopkins (tougher to fit McCaffrey, but if value is there, do it)
Deeper GPP Flyers
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: Justin Herbert. Kyler Murray, Derek Carr, Joshua Dobbs
RB: Travis Etienne Jr., David Montgomery, Kenneth Walker III, Aaron Jones, Rachaad White, Jaylen Warren
WR: Ja'Marr Chase (if he's in), DK Metcalf, Calvin Ridley, Drake London, Michael Thomas, Noah Brown
TE: Mark Andrews, Evan Engram, Cade Otton
DEFENSE: DAL, SEA, PIT, TAM, MIN, CIN
Week 10 DFS Slate Notes
Sunday Morning Updates:
We are still waiting to hear if Ja'Marr Chase is going to play for certain today, but it sounds like he is going to warm up with the intent to play. If he's in, he certainly belongs in the player pool but I don't think we have to force him into cash games. If he were to miss this game, then we would NEED to push Tyler Boyd into the cash core.
Michael Thomas is somehow playing today, despite getting arrested over the weekend. I was going to slam Chris Olave into some lineups, but I feel less compelled to do so now. The Saints pass catchers are all decent plays, but none of them stand out as amazing plays.
I don't think I can fit Amon-Ra St. Brown into cash builds, but he might be my favorite receiver for GPPs. Christian Kirk is a sneaky pivot off Nuk Hopkins at the same price on DK and is projecting about half the ownership.
Tight End is weirdly loaded this week. Mark Andrews owns the Browns but is projecting at just 3% ownership because of all the other guys in better spots on paper. LaPorta, Hockenson, Engram, and McBride are going to soak up most of the ownership and we have three of those guys projecting at over 3x value, so going with some double-TE lineups this week in tournaments might be an interesting way to get different.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
HOU-CIN: Burrow-Chase-Dell (also consider: Boyd, Mixon, Brown)
LAC-DET: Goff-LaPorta-Ekeler (also consider: St. Brown, Allen, Gibbs)
SF-JAX: Purdy-Aiyuk-Kirk (also consider McCaffrey, Ridley)

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. Be sure to examine the latest injury updates, Las Vegas projected game totals, and late scratches before finalizing your lineups to ensure the players you are choosing are active on game day.
