Giveaway Winners

Below are the giveaway winners from last week. Check your email tonight/Saturday morning! We will be running a six-person contest this week where the winner wins $500.  

Unfortunately, this will need to be postponed until next week. Multiple people are having issues receiving the invite from FanDuel, so in fairness to them we will try again next week.

Week 19 Recap

I admittedly have zero idea how the Primary Cash Lineup did last week, but I suspect not well, considering there were some key players that went off that I didn’t have in my lineup. I was in Nevada over the weekend and completely forgot that FanDuel is still not legal in that state. Therefore, I didn’t enter any contests other than the Survivor contest that I had pre-entered prior to my flight. If you played, let me know how you did on Twitter: https://x.com/devinaknotts. Love the interaction and hearing feedback from you guys there.

As a PSA, we do not track Playoff results against the overall record. I play significantly less in the playoffs and play small GPP-type stuff, as cash games on these small slates are often random. I'll still play them, but far less than I normally do, as the edge is difficult.

I’m going to assume that you likely needed either Ladd McConkey or one of Houston or Los Angeles Rams defenses to have success, as they absolutely dominated last week with 24 and 23 FanDuel points. McConkey was a game wrecker even in a loss as he had 197 yards and a touchdown at just $7,100. Choosing Saquon Barkley over Derrick Henry was a mistake, as Henry dominated with 186 yards and 2 touchdowns while Barkley had the yards with 119, he failed to find the end-zone finishing with just 16.3.

The Puka Nacua and Justin Jefferson fade was a strong one last week. Nacua struggled as he had just 7.6 FanDuel points as the entire Rams and Vikings passing offenses struggled last week.   

Total points scored-102.8

• QB Jayden Daniels, WAS, $8,400- 22.3
• RB Bucky Irving, TB, $7,600-15.3
• RB Joe Mixon, HOU, $7,500- 19.4
• WR Jalen McMillan, TB, $6,400- 5.1
• WR Rashod Bateman, BAL, $6,100- 9.4
• WR Dontayvion Wicks, GB, $5,400- 4.9
• TE Tucker Kraft, GB, $5,300- 6.1
• Flex RB Saquon Barkley, PHI, $9,600- 16.3
• TD Washington Commanders, $3,600- 4.0

Injuries Create Opportunity

• David Montgomery will return this week, and FanDuel completely screwed up his price. At the minimum price, he’s a must-play this week.
• Zay Flowers looks more doubtful than questionable as he hasn’t practiced in the first two sessions of the week.

Week 20: Matchups Are Crucial

This is one of the most interesting short slates that we’ve seen in a while. It should create an advantage if it plays out how the matchups dictate. You arguably have five of the six best run defenses in the NFL playing on an eight-team slate. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Kansas City, and Houston all have elite run-stopping units, which, if you’re paying attention, should eliminate James Cook, Joe Mixon, Brian Robinson Jr, Kyren Williams, and Isiah Pacheco/Kareem Hunt in cash games. In GPPs, anything goes, but I would still avoid any running back facing Baltimore and Kansas City.
