DraftKings Cash Game Lineups
Since you’re playing against smaller fields in cash games, and usually don’t have to place first to win money, the strategy for building cash lineups is to target players that produce consistent fantasy value.
Stay away from risky plays, and go with more proven situations. Here’s a list of recommended players for this weekends DraftKings Cash Games.
Quarterbacks
Captain
- Patrick Mahomes KC @ TB $18,000
FLEX
- Patrick Mahomes KC @ TB $12,000
- Tom Brady TB vs KC $10,000
Running Backs
Captain
- Leonard Fournette TB vs KC $11,700

- Darrel Williams KC @ TB $5,200
- Ronald Jones II TB vs KC $2,200
Pass Catchers

- Tyreek Hill KC @ TB $15,600
- Travis Kelce KC @ TB $16,500

Defense & Kickers
Captain
- I’m NOT going to put a Defense or Kicker in the Captain spot.
FLEX
ONLY play Defenses or Kickers in the FLEX spot, and limit them to a maximum of one per lineup. Don’t play both a Defense and Kicker in the same lineup.
- Ryan Succop TB vs KC $3,800
- Buccaneers vs TB $2,800
DraftKings GPP Tournament Lineups
In contrast to cash, your strategy changes when building GPP (Guaranteed Prize Pool) lineups where you have to beat out thousands of players to get a shot at winning big prizes. In these types of tournaments you’re targeting players that have high-upside for the week and low ownership so you can construct unique rosters.
These risky BOOM/BUST plays may not always hit, but when they do you have the potential to stack up that cash! Here’s a list of recommended players for this weekends DraftKings GPP Tournament slates.
