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 LIVE with 2024 data this week!
- Green means GO (good for the player), while red reflects a poor rating/matchup. The more green, the better...
- 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 again DVOA ratings as I regained access to that metric and find it to be super helpful.
- A play labeled "cash" is a higher-owned play 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.

Week 10 DFS Slate Notes
Saturday/Sunday Updates:
Rise and shine it's time to build NFL lineups!
As I was going over all my lineups this morning, I noticed that I didn't put many value receivers (under 5k on DK or under 6k on FD) on the sheet this week. That's because finding any value this week has been difficult. So let's talk about some potential options.
I know some people are on Ricky Pearsall from San Francisco and he has a solid matchup, but I worry about his snap share now that the Niners have just about everyone healthy again.
Noah Brown looks to be the most popular - and for good reason, he has six targets in two straight weeks and the Steelers allow more production to outside receivers than slots.
Sterling Shepard is a few hundred less for Tampa and should play a ton of snaps. He is a slot receiver who also had two rushing attempts last week - the Bucs like utilizing him.
Adonai Mitchell is DIRT cheap and is more of a GPP home run type play than cash. No Pittman Jr. for the Colts this week and Mitchell should be elevated into a larger role.
One other VALUE play that I should mention is Taysom Hill on DK at TE - he's just 4k and is getting some buzz around the industry as a cheat code this week. The best TE plays are all 5k or more so saving some cash by playing Hill, who should see some targets and some goal lines rushing carries makes sense. I might just do it in DK cash games.
Speaking of cash games, I am taking a Mac Jones leap of faith and I know that it's probably not for everyone. If you can't stomach Mac in cash, then Darnold or Purdy are the two guys you should roll with instead.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
BUF-IND: Allen-Shakir-Downs (also Taylor, Kincaid)
MIN-JAX: Darnold-Jones-Jefferson (also Thomas Jr. for Jax)
ARI-NYJ: Rodgers-Wilson-Conner (also Adams, Hall)

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.
