DraftKings NFL Daily Fantasy Cash Game Picks Week 7

Quarterbacks

Jared Goff ($6,200) vs Falcons– There’s no better way to put it,  Jared Goff was horrible vs the 49ers last week when he threw for just 78 yards on 24 pass attempts. However, he will have the opportunity this Sunday vs the Falcons who have shown this year that they have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. They are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing QBs this season and with Gurley banged up I believe they will be throwing early and often in this matchup on the road. Look for a big bounce back week from Goff.

Gardner Minshew II ($5,400) vs Bengals– Minshew struggled for one of the first times in his short career last week vs the Saints but like Goff, he will have a much easier time vs the struggling Bengals this Sunday. Minshew has thrown at least 2 touchdowns in 4 of the 6 games he has played in and the emergence of D.J. Chark has only helped Minshew. He has also ran for 18+ yards in 3 of those 6 games. The Minshew hype needs to be tamed a bit but he still offers a good amount of upside for DFS owners.

Running Backs

Mark Ingram II ($6,600) vs Seahawks– Ingram won’t rush for 100+ yards every week but being the goal line back in the Ravens offense makes him a valuable commodity. He has 7 touchdowns already this season including 5 in the last 4 games. Despite not eclipsing 20 rushing attempts this season he has rushed for 50+ yards in 3 of his last 4 games so he has a decent enough floor for him to put up a solid fantasy day with a plunge into the endzone that we have seen in past weeks.

Le’Veon Bell ($6,000) vs Patriots– Bell has a really tough matchup vs the Patriots this week but I like him for his pass catching ability this week. The Patriots have been excellent in all aspects of their defense which I believe will force a lot of dump off passes to Bell which we have seen in previous week’s when the Jets have fallen behind and been forced to throw. Darnold is back under center but I think we will see a lot of the same this week.

Tevin Coleman ($5,600) vs Redskins– Tevin Coleman has been back for two weeks now since his week 1 injury and has put up 15.7 FPTS and 14.1 FPTS in week’s 5 and 6. The 49ers offense has been led by their run game and Coleman is the lead back on that team. They will make a trip east to take on the Redskins who are allowing the 4^th most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. I expect the Niners to be up in this game early which will allow Jimmy G to turn around and hand it to Coleman early and often.

Wide Receivers

Cooper Kupp ($7,400) vs Falcons– Like the entire Rams offense last week Kupp struggled catching 4 of 6 targets for only 17 yards. But this is no time to jump off the Kupp train because he still has over 100 yards receiving in 4 of the last 5 weeks and has gotten 12+ targets in 3 of the last 4. Kupp is the #1 target for Jared Goff and against this putrid Falcons secondary that has allowed the 2^nd most fantasy points vs WRs this season on DraftKings. Kupp is pricey but well worth it in this one.

Will Fuller V ($6,200) vs Colts– Fuller followed up his 56.7 FPTS game with 5 receptions for 44 yards vs the Chiefs. However he was targeted twice on deep balls one of which was dropped and the other would have been a tough catch but both would have resulted in touchdowns. The upside is why I like Fuller in this matchup because he has proven even with Deandre Hopkins on the field he gets plenty of looks from Deshaun Watson. Fuller has been targeted 45 times in the last 5 weeks and getting those kinds of looks at this price is a win in my opinion.

Jamison Crowder ($4,000) vs Patriots– Don’t get me wrong, rostering Jamison Crowder vs the electric Patriots defense is a huge risk. However, I think in this case we could be getting a lot of value from him at this price. In two games started by Sam Darnold this season Crowder has seen 26 targets and hauled in 20 of them. That is production that you don’t see in this area and even though the Patriots secondary is elite, I expect the Jets to be down so they will be forced to throw more often than not and Crowder has shown that he is Darnold’s favorite target

Tight End

Hunter Henry ($4,000) vs Titans– Henry was expected to be playing at a very limited level on Sunday night but he played much more than expected and came through with 8 catches for 100 yards and 2 TDs. Whenever Henry has been healthy he is one of the top options for Philip Rivers the only problem is Henry hasn’t been healthy enough. The offensive line for the Chargers is struggling with injuries and poor play so the TEs and RBs will be forced to make short range catches and that is where I see Henry thriving this week vs the Titans.

Defense

New Orleans Saints D/ST ($2,900) vs Bears– The Saints defense has been great this season scoring double digit points in 3 of their last 4 games and this week they will be up against a Bears offense that has struggled for most of the season. QB Mitch Trubisky will also be back and he has shown the ability to throw some untimely interceptions and has failed to get the offense rolling most of the time. I think he Saints are a fairly safe bet vs the Bears on the road this week.
