In this space each week, I give my overall FanDuel cash game and tournament strategy thoughts and discuss how players fit into these strategies. By offering a general approach to the week, along with a player pool to consider, you should walk away feeling well-equipped no matter your bankroll strategy or game selection process. For those new to 4for4, we use a proprietary value metric to determine the best values across all positions, rather than the flawed raw point-per-dollar value you usually find across the industry. An extension of our value metric and projections is our GPP Leverage Score, a single value that drives our decisions on which players we can be most confident using in GPPs as it relates to their expected ownership in large-field tournaments.

Main Slate Cash Game Strategy

Quarterback

Houston travels to Tennessee for the only game of the week with an over/under of at least 50 points. The Titans are favored by three, making Ryan Tannehill ($7,600) the top value at his position this week. Tannehill now leads the league in fantasy points per pass attempt and will face a Texans defense ranked 31st in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) to quarterbacks. With the small spread and shootout potential in this game, Deshaun Watson ($8,200) is also a top value at his position. Like the Texans, the Titans are one of four defenses ranked outside the top 20 in aFPA to every position, including 21st against quarterbacks. With both defenses giving up so many fantasy points across the board, both signal-callers are top cash plays this week.
