DraftKings Core Plays

These are the 3-5 players at each position I have mixed in my player pool. Based on salaries, late news, and budget constraints, it’s not a guarantee I fit in all of them. But their high floors and team-implied totals make them great plays for the week in both cash & GPPs.

These are simply in order of favorite core players. You obviously won’t be able to fit all in a cash lineup and there are salary tradeoffs for paying up at each position.

On a small slate, any of the four QBs are in play, but we’re not that interested in Purdy traveling to the east coast against a stout Philly D in a hostile environment. Mahomes’ ankle injury (and therefore, likely lack of rushing) knocks him down a peg for us, especially considering you have to pay up for him. We think Hurts can separate from the position this week thanks to his elite rushing while Burrow makes a lot of sense at his price point given Cincy’s insane pass rate.
