Welcome to Week 7 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.

PRINTABLE VERSION
Cash Game Cores
DraftKings: Jacobs-Walker-Lamb
FanDuel: Walker-Lamb-Samuel
Pretty much still in line with where I was earlier in the week here, if you can get Jacobs in on FanDuel, too, then do it, but I do think getting up to Lamar Jackson there in cash games might be ideal with his rushing floor. I can fit all four of the core plays on DraftKings rather easily.
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: Daniel Jones, Derek Carr
RB: Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard, Brian Robinson Jr.
WR: Davante Adams, Michael Pittman Jr., Tee Higgins, Robert Woods, DeAndre Carter
TE: Foster Moreau, Evan Engram, Dalton Schultz, Cade Otton
DEF: CAR, NYJ, TEN, WAS
Week 7 DFS Slate Notes
***Saturday Updates***
A sloppy week for injuries and still some guys who are very much looking like game-time decisions for Sunday. Keenan Allen's status is important. If he's out, then I smash Ekeler into cash games and up my exposure to Mike Williams in GPPs. It also could elevate DeAndre Carter as a GPP punt as well.
I kind of overlooked Brian Robinson Jr. earlier in the week, but I love his match-up and projected volume against a poor Packer run defense.
Darren Waller is out for the Raiders, which could mean more volume for Hunter Renfrow (if he plays) and his backup, the very cheap Foster Moreau.
I wouldn't play Christian McCaffrey as I really doubt he plays much, if at all in Sunday's game.
Tyler Lockett is still questionable and I wouldn't have him penciled into cash games at this point, even at his cheap price. But if we get word he is playing BEFORE the 1:00 games then you could probably trust him in cash. If the news comes out AFTER the early games start, you could swap to him in your utility spot and get him and reduced ownership in a good spot.
Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines are both back for the Colts, which drops my interest in Michael Pittman Jr. a little bit. I still like Alec Pierce quite a bit at his price point, though. The Tampa receivers are all good to go other than Julio Jones are all of them should be considered for GPPs, though I don't think I'll end up with any Tampa in cash games (Godwin is the closest).
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
SEA-LAC: Geno/Herbert -Ekeler- Lockett/Metcalf - Everett
LV-HOU: Carr-Jacobs/Pierce-Cooks/Adams-Moreau
CIN-ATL: Burrow-Mixon-London/Chase

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.
