In this space each week will be the top cash plays on FanDuel with strategies on how to build a profitable cash lineup. The backbone of 4for4’s cash game approach is our proprietary value metric, which goes beyond simple point per dollar projections. That value calculation extends to a player’s odds of hitting cash game value based on their implied volatility according to their floor, median and ceiling projections.

Quarterbacks

Roster builds this week will be predicated on whether or not to pay up for Derrick Henry. At the quarterback position, the easiest path to clear salary for a $10k running back is to roster Jalen Hurts ($6,900), 4for4’s top value at the position priced below $8,000. In his first start, Hurts rushed 18 times for over 100 yards, resulting in just under 20 FanDuel points despite a 167/1/0 passing line. While we can’t expect 100 yards on the ground every week, Hurts clearly offers a high floor and he should have more passing upside this week against a Cardinals defense ranked in the bottom half of the league in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) to quarterbacks. Hurts isn’t a must to get to Henry, but he does allow for the most balanced build across all other positions.
