The Best DraftKings Cash Game Picks for Week 8 10/30/2022

Quarterback

Kyler Murray ($7,500)

I am back at it again after a week off, special thanks to Gerson for filling in for me last week. I am now 4-2 in cash game articles, lets continue onto our winning ways! Kyler Murray is in a fantastic spot here against my Vikings. The Cardinals average 27 points per game in the 27 games that DeAndre Hopkins has been healthy. I know Sam Ehlinger wil be the popular play here in cash against a bad Commanders defense, but I think Kyler Murray gives you a safer 20 point floor opposed to Ehlinger whose floor is kind of unknown. The Vikings rank 22nd against Quarterbacks in terms of fantasy scoring.

Running Backs

Tony Pollard ($6,100)

We have waited a long time for Tony Pollard to get the rock, and this is the week he gets to shine. I think this is a great spot to play him at just $6,100 vs Chicago. Zeke Elliot isn’t going to play this week and Pollard will get a full workload. Pollard has excelled all season is an RB2 role behind Zeke, averaging over 5.5 yards per carry. The Bears rank 25th against the run.

Kenneth Walker ($6,500)

I told myself I would keep playing Walker for as long as he remained under 7k, surprise he’s still under 7k. I know The Giants run defense is pretty good, but for me his volume is just too high in this offense to not play him. Walker is absolutely destroying it right now and there’s no reason to ignore him at this point.

Wide Receivers

DeAndre Hopkins ($7,400)

DeAndre Hopkins is back fellas. I’m a Vikings fan I watch them every week our secondary is bad. I expect there to be a ton of points in this game. Hopkins netted 14 targets in his first game back from suspension. The Viking rank 21st vs Wide Receivers this on is pretty straight forward for me.

Jaylen Waddle ($6,700)

I’m going back to the well this Week after The Cowboys WRs let me down last week. Waddle still has a massive 69% catch rate, somehow hes still under priced in my opinion. Tua is back for Miami and let’s not pretend like Miami wants to run the ball. Detroit is just really bad on defense actually they are historically bad. I think a nice way to get a piece of this game is by going to Waddle, although Tua will be popular in all formats.

Tight-End

Kyle Pitts ($4,000)

I don’t have a lot to say here…Kyle Pitts is 4k and Arthur Smith sucks. I don’t recommend this play, but I do at the same time he’s only 4k.

Defense

I am playing The Saints this week, if some value opens up enough for me to get to The Patriots I’d look to get there. The Saints Defense is still pretty solid in my opinion, and The Raiders always seem to cough up the ball and give up a few sacks, it’s more of it fit my build kind of play.
