Only 36.7 percent of my recommendations hit the 2.5x value we look for in cash game lineups. This time quarterback was the best group at an 83.3 percent success rate. Meanwhile, the tight end group dipped to last down at a 16.7 percent success rate. For me personally, it was another rough week as I\u2019m on a cold streak. We\u2019ll look to get back on track with the Week 7 DraftKings plays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Week 6<\/strong> \u2013 $375 \u2192 $83 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($292 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Year<\/strong> <strong>Total<\/strong> \u2013 $2,007 \u2192 $898 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($1,109 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Week 7 DraftKings Plays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Quarterbacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/09\/19\/week-2-draftkings-plays-derrick-henry-kyler-murray-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kyler Murray<\/a> (ARI) \u2013 $7,100 v SEA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fresh off a thrashing of the hapless <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, Kyler and the Cardinals will welcome <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/09\/27\/fantasy-football-week-4-waiver-wire-pickups-jeff-wilson-damien-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Russell Wilson<\/a><\/strong> and the undefeated <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> to town. This should be one of the most fun games on the slate. Both teams are high scoring teams with awesome quarterbacks and Arizona is also a very fast-paced team. Kyler currently is the QB2 on the season in fantasy points and hasn\u2019t scored less than 23 points in any game this year. The rushing floor he brings is insane. Murray is leading the NFL in rushing yards (370) and rushing touchdowns (6) among all quarterbacks. This is also a matchup in which he\u2019s going to need to throw and score more than usual to keep up with Russ. I was surprised to see his price wasn\u2019t more expensive but that\u2019s what happens to guys that play on Monday night. This is a perfect matchup and game environment for Murray to put up another 30-burger and is a great play this week if you have the salary.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kyler Murray\u2019s weekly finishes this year: QB5 &gt; QB5 &gt; QB10 &gt; QB6 &gt; QB5 &gt; QB3<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Graham Barfield (@GrahamBarfield) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrahamBarfield\/status\/1318622180511424513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 20, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/22\/week-7-stream-team-boston-scott-travis-fulgham-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Joe Burrow<\/a> (CIN) \u2013 $5,500 v CLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t understand why Burrow\u2019s price is so low this week. He\u2019s only had one bad game so far in his rookie season and that was against a great <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/ravens\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> defense. Burrow currently leads the NFL in pass attempts so the volume is there. He\u2019s attempted at least 30 passes in every game this year. The last time Burrow played against the Browns he had his best fantasy game of the year with 27.54 points and threw 61 passes. Obviously, we aren\u2019t going to expect 61 pass attempts, but this should be a higher scoring, faster-paced game in which Burrow will have to sling it to stay in the game. He\u2019s hit the 300+ yard bonus in four games so far as well. The cherry on top is that he has the eighth-most rushing attempts among all quarterbacks this year as well. It all sets up for Burrow to return great value at this price point.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/06\/18\/deshaun-watson-fantasy-football-outlook-2020-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Deshaun Watson<\/a> (HOU) \u2013 $6,800 v GB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting to me that Watson\u2019s price actually dropped slightly after a 35-point game in his last game and a 29.9 point game the week before. Watson is a great talent at quarterback that can get it done through the air or with his legs. He hasn\u2019t been running quite as much this year but it\u2019s certainly in his repertoire. The firing of <strong>Bill O\u2019Brien<\/strong> has almost been like the lifting of a huge weight and Watson and the Texans have played better since. I expect that to continue this week against the Packers. This is a spot where Watson is playing at home, in a dome, and in a good game environment where they should be competitive or trailing. Expect Watson and company to put up numbers this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/07\/30\/gardner-minshew-fantasy-football-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Gardner Minshew<\/a><\/strong> (JAX) \u2013 $5,900 @ LAC,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/09\/19\/week-2-draftkings-plays-derrick-henry-kyler-murray-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kyle Allen<\/a><\/strong> (WAS) \u2013 $5,200 v DAL,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/05\/fantasy-football-week-5-quarterback-waiver-wire-pickups-teddy-bridgewater-gardner-minshew-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Teddy Bridgewater<\/a><\/strong> (CAR) \u2013 $5,800 @ NO<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Running Backs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/04\/alvin-kamara-fantasy-football-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Alvin Kamara<\/a> (NO) \u2013 $7,900 v CAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alvin Kamara in a full PPR scoring format for less than 8k? In this economy? Sign me up regardless of the matchup. He\u2019s only scored less than 20 points once this year and that was 19.9. The floor is extremely high and he also has a lot of touchdown equity on a high scoring Saints team so that gives him a nice ceiling as well. This play is much better if <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/23\/fantasy-football-week-7-wide-receiver-start-em-sit-em-tee-higgins-michael-thomas-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Michael Thomas<\/a><\/strong> sits as we can expect him to see an elevated target share. This matchup is also one of the best you can have for a running back against the Panthers. The Saints are also at home and in a dome which is even more reason to jam him in.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/31\/kareem-hunt-fantasy-football-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kareem Hunt<\/a> (CLE) \u2013 $6,800 at CIN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last time the Browns played the Bengals, it turned into a high-scoring shootout.

The Browns ran all over the Bengals in that one. Hunt hasn\u2019t been as good as most people were hoping since Chubb went down but he\u2019s been used as a three-down workhorse in that time, seeing the majority of the snaps and touches in context neutral situations. This is a game where the Browns should be playing from ahead and against a soft run defense.

Before the bye week, Jackson handled 15 carries and five receptions (on six targets) on his way to 14.4 PPR points. He was able to gain 94 total yards on those 20 touches and looks like he\u2019s become more of the main guy over teammate <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/09\/24\/week-3-stream-team-gardner-minshew-joshua-kelley-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Joshua Kelley<\/a><\/strong>.

There is some risk involved as the Chargers could very easily lean on Kelley in this one. Down at this price range though and likely to see double-digit touches in a nice matchup, that\u2019s a risk you should be willing to take even if it\u2019s just having him in your GPP player pool.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/17\/week-6-draftkings-plays-mike-davis-a-j-brown-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Mike Davis<\/a> (CAR) \u2013 $6,600 at NO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Davis is still too cheap. I get it, he\u2019s coming off a bit of a down game but still managed 12.5 points. He was still heavily involved and his 92 percent snap count share was the highest of any running back last week. Even still, since he didn\u2019t smash, his price dropped and I\u2019m taking advantage again. The matchup itself isn\u2019t great but it isn\u2019t bad either. It\u2019s one of those that I\u2019m not worried about one way or another. This play is all about the volume. Getting a guy in a good game environment, in a dome, that dominates snap count and sees a ton of work in the passing game for this price is B-E-A-Utiful.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/13\/aaron-jones-and-jamaal-williams-have-bolstered-green-bay-packers-run-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Aaron Jones<\/a> <\/strong>(GB) \u2013 $7,200 @ HOU,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/02\/fantasy-football-running-back-rankings-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chris Carson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(SEA) \u2013 $6,400 @ ARI,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/22\/fantasy-football-mock-draft-3-0\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Giovani Bernard<\/strong><\/a> (CIN) \u2013 $4,500 v CLE,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/16\/week-6-stream-team-andy-dalton-mecole-hardman-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Antonio Gibson<\/a><\/strong> (WAS) \u2013 $5,000 v DAL<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/18\/fantasy-football-week-7-wide-receiver-waiver-wire-pickups-tee-higgins-travis-fulgham-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Keenan Allen<\/a> (LAC) \u2013 $6,200 v JAX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allen has 50 targets in five games so far.

Crowder always offers such a high floor because of his 11.5 targets per game. He\u2019s seen double-digit targets in all four games so far this year. Crowder has scored at least 11 PPR points in every game as well, including at least 20 PPR points in all three out of four games. This matchup doesn\u2019t seem great at first glance, but Buffalo is getting torched by slot wide receivers so far.

Crowder should be fed all the looks he can handle in this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/07\/11\/davante-adams-is-an-elite-wide-receiver\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Davante Adams<\/a> <\/strong>(GB) \u2013 $7,900 @ HOU,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/16\/week-6-stream-team-andy-dalton-mecole-hardman-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tyreek Hill<\/a> <\/strong>(KC) \u2013 $6,400 @ DEN,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/03\/week-4-draftkings-plays\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tyler Lockett<\/a><\/strong> (SEA) \u2013 $6,600 @ ARI,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/08\/31\/fantasy-football-draft-tyler-boyd-a-j-green\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tyler Boyd<\/a><\/strong> (CIN) \u2013 $5,400 v CLE,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/09\/week-5-draftkings-plays\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Diontae Johnson<\/a><\/strong> (PIT) \u2013 $4,200 @ TEN,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/23\/fantasy-football-week-7-wide-receiver-start-em-sit-em-tee-higgins-michael-thomas-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Brandin Cooks<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(HOU) \u2013 $5,200 v GB<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tight Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/03\/week-4-draftkings-plays\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Travis Kelce<\/a> (KC) \u2013 $6,300 @ DEN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tight end has been absolutely brutal this year. If you don\u2019t want to mess around with the dumpster options, paying up for Kelce is a safe option. He currently leads all tight ends in targets (53), receptions (37), yards (470), and touchdowns (5) this year. He has nearly 30 more PPR points than the next closest tight end. This guy is truly a difference-maker at a position that lacks difference makers. The matchup isn\u2019t anything special but you can always bank on a healthy target share and double-digit PPR points every time you lock Kelce in your lineup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">YAC leaders by position:<br \/>RB: Alvin Kamara &#8211; 343<br \/>WR: Terry McLaurin &#8211; 265<br \/>TE: Travis Kelce &#8211; 213 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7QSgxGS9Bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/7QSgxGS9Bi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1318975856643960832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 21, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/03\/week-4-draftkings-plays\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Hunter Henry<\/a> (LAC) \u2013 $4,500 v JAX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a year where the tight end position has been so unpredictable, Henry has been a steady contributor. He\u2019s scored double-digit PPR points in every game except one this year and has also seen at least seven targets in every game besides one as well. His production has remained steady with <strong>Justin Herbert<\/strong> at quarterback. The matchup is solid as well as they are taking on the Jaguars. Jacksonville is one of the worst defenses in the NFL against the pass. They are also one of the worst defenses in the NFL against the run, however, which is one of the biggest concerns here. If the Chargers are able to grab a lead and lean on the run game, it could limit the volume of the passing game. It\u2019s only a small concern, however, considering the state of the tight end position.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/16\/week-6-stream-team-andy-dalton-mecole-hardman-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dalton Schultz<\/a> (DAL) \u2013 $3,900 @ WAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Schultz has been decent since taking over for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/09\/10\/fantasy-football-fades\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Blake Jarwin<\/a><\/strong> early in the year. He\u2019s been a bit up and down, but we are talking about the tight end position. Schultz has seen at least five targets in every game except one and has also caught at least four passes in every game besides one. That\u2019s pretty consistent considering the tight end landscape we are working with. This matchup is nothing to worry about either. Washington has been allowing some of the most production to the tight end in the NFL so far. This also projects as the fastest-paced game on the entire slate so extra plays are always nice. The only worry is if the Cowboys can grab an early lead and lean on Zeke but they haven\u2019t shown that ability yet and at this price, it\u2019s a minor concern.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/06\/15\/hayden-hurst-fantasy-football-outlook-2020-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Hayden Hurst<\/a><\/strong> (ATL) \u2013 $4,400 v DET,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/10\/17\/week-6-draftkings-plays-mike-davis-a-j-brown-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">T.J.

It\u2019s pretty random but there are a few areas to gain an advantage. I look to target the heavily favorited teams as they usually are playing with a lead. This forces their opponent to throw it more often which can help lead to extra sacks and turnovers and hopefully a touchdown. Another aspect to target is turnover and sack-prone quarterbacks. With that being said, my advice is to fill out the rest of your lineup first and then pick your favorite D\/ST out of the remaining money.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>My Tentative Cash Game Lineup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>QB \u2013 Kyler Murray<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Alvin Kamara<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BernGi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giovani Bernard<\/a><\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Davante Adams<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Diontae Johnson<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Terry McLaurin<\/li>\n<li>TE \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/ThomLo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Thomas<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Flex \u2013 Mike Davis<\/li>\n<li>DST \u2013 Washington Football Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to tune in next week to see the results from my Week 7 DraftKings plays and to see the best picks for Week 8.
