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 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.
Premium NFL DFS Cheat Sheet - Week 10
Because of the width of the cheat sheet, we recommend viewing it on a laptop or desktop monitor.
Cash Game Cores
DraftKings: McCaffrey/Dowdle/JSN/Flowers
FanDuel: McCaffrey/Dowdle/JSN/Parker Washington
RB and WR Anchors
RBs: Christian McCaffrey (vs. LAR) and Rico Dowdle (vs. NO)
We can't fade CMC this week with his volume and a projected high total in this game against the Rams. He only went for 57 yards on the ground against the Rams in the first matchup, but caught 8 passes for 82 yards and a TD in that one. He's been under 20 DK points just once this season and is coming off a whopping 33 touches against the Giants last week. His floor is unmatched; we have to suck it up and pay the price for him in cash games once again.
Dowdle is looking nearly as chalky as CMC, and it's totally warranted, too. He has been fantastic as the starter in Carolin, and the Panthers are home favorites against the lowly Saints. Carolina loves to run the football, and I think they'll feed Dowdle 20+ touches again this week in a favorable game script.
WRs: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (vs. ARI) and Zay Flowers (vs. MIN)
JSN is the high-end receiver I just can't fade. He has been unstoppable all year, and now the Seahawks are running out of other receivers with Kupp and Horton looking doubtful for this matchup with the Cardinals. Expect him to get peppered with double-digit targets and put up another 100-yard day as Sam Darnold continues to hone in on him in their #1-ranked passing attack.
Flowers is big, big chalk on DK, and I get it, as he's under 6k despite being the WR1 on a Ravens team that has their MVP quarterback back. That game could be filled with offense, and we are going to want some exposure to this Ravens team that is implied for over 30 points.
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: Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford
RB: Derrick Henry, D'Andre Swift, Aaron Jones Sr.
WR: Jaylen Waddle, Tetairoa McMillan, Marvin Harrison Jr., Jauan Jennings
TE: George Kittle, Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid
DEFENSES (cheapest to most expensive): JAX, TB, CLE, HOU, DET, SEA
