Best DFS games: Week 7

You don’t need to play cash games to understand why it’s important to master them. The players we consider for money are the ones we believe are the least expensive, have the best floor/ceiling combination, and offer a relatively narrow range of results.

In other words, these are the best plays on the board once price, context, and position depth are taken into account. These also seem like really good options for GPPs.

The optimal GPP range will mix some of these cash-type plays with higher variance options in correlated ranges. In cash games (where around 50% of the field is paid), we don’t worry about ownership, playing stacks or correlation. In tournaments with large numbers of players, our ACO (average cumulative ownership) should remain reasonably low. Please watch this podcast episode to learn more about large field tournament strategy.

That said, here are our top stocks taking into account the following factors: median projection, match, upside and value. Ownership is NOT considered here. Generally speaking, these players are what we consider “head-to-head and 50/50 considerations.”

They are listed in descending order of price (NOT ranked by “best game”). At the bottom, you’ll find ranking suggestions by site once salary is taken into account.

STRATEGIST

Jordan Love ($6,000 DK, $7,600 FD) – The Packers have a PROE of +2.7% this year, and both Christian Watson And Matthew Golden have been incredible to start the season. In a friendly against the Lions secondary, Love should move the ball with ease.
