Welcome to Week 6 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 using all 2025 data now!
- 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 a 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: Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence
RB: No one who isn't on the sheet, TBH
WR: Emeka Egbuka, Jaylen Waddle, Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne,
TE: Trey McBride, Hunter Henry

Week 5 DFS Slate Notes
Saturday/Sunday Updates:
WR discounts to add to the player pool - Tez Johnson and Sterling Shephard (to go along with Flournoy)
5 running backs projecting as chalk, I would make sure to have 3 of them in cash - CMC (DK), Jacobs, Dowdle, Javonte Williams, R. White
Some rain in the forecast, but no major wind impacts, I wouldn't fade anything because of it.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
DAL-CAR: Bryce Young-Tet McMillan + Jake Ferguson OR Javonte Williams
NE-NO: Drake Maye-Stefon Diggs-Chris Olave
TB-SF: Baker Mayfield-Emeka Egbuka + McCaffrey or Bourne/Tonges

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.
