Welcome to Week 4 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.

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 cheat sheet. The main recommended plays will always be geared more toward cash games and single-entry tournaments, but here are some lower-owned options for large-field tournaments.
QB: Jalen Hurts, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields
RB: Bijan Robinson, James Conner, Cam Akers
WR: Chris Olave, Jayden Reed, George Pickens, Greg Dortch
TE: Pat Freiermuth, Zach Ertz, Colby Parkinson
DEFENSE: DEN, LAR, HOU, MIN
Week 4 DFS Slate Notes
Saturday/Sunday Updates:
So we have just about all the injury info we need other than Deebo Samuel who is pressing to play, but is a true game-time decision. I guess Chris Olave is questionable, too, but his status doesn't really move the needle for me either way.
With Deebo potentially returning, I am moving off the Niners' pass catchers. Aiyuk will have a tough matchup against Gonzalez and Jennings would likely see a reduction in snaps and routes run. Kittle is expensive and coming off an injury. It's another Jordan Mason week and pairing him with the Niners' defense (very expensive, but low-owned) is one correlation that I like.
I don't have Darnold on the sheet this week, but you know that I want some exposure to him, Jefferson, and Aaron Jones today. Jordan Love should be back this week, which should give the Packers a nice jolt and hopefully, they can push Minnesota into some ceiling performances for the Vikes' trio. Jayden Reed is the Packer that I wanna play in those stacks.
The Arizona-Washington game should be the most popular one for tournaments, so find some ways to get creative with those stacks. I like going heavier on the other two games listed below and working in some 1-1 stacks from the Cards-Commanders like Harrison-Robinson.
If you are playing on both sites, then once again I think your builds are going to look a lot different on each site with the pricing differences and the fact that FanDuel still has that pesky night game on the slate.
If you are looking for a late-night hammer, I think Khalil Shakir is my favorite play from Bills-Ravens and he's still pretty fairly priced, too.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
ARI-WAS: Murray-Harrison Jr.-Robinson Jr. (also Dortch, Wilson, Daniels, McLaurin)
HOU-JAX: Stroud-Collins-Kirk (also Diggs, Thomas Jr.)
CAR-CIN: Dalton-Johnson-Moss (also Chase, Hubbard)
Also consider: Pittsburgh skinny stacks (Fields + one), MIN-GB: Darnold-Jefferson-Reed
