The Best DraftKings Cash Picks for Week 4 (10/3/21)

Introduction

Welcome back to goingfor2.com! Last week I had my first letdown of the season and my cash game article didn’t cash, but we are 2/3 on the season or a 66% cash rate.

Quarterback

Sam Darnold ($6,000)

Sam Darnold has been a complete surprise to most, myself included. Don’t look now, but The Panthers are 3-0. Christian McCaffery has been ruled out for Week 4. Let’s take a look at Sam Darnold’s pass attempts so far this season: 34,38 and 35, taking away the best Running Back in the NFL and replacing him with a rookie in Chubba Hubbard and journey man Royce Freeman isn’t going to take away from Darnold’s upside. The Panthers will throw a lot in this game and they get the 31st ranked pass defense in The Cowboys.

Running Backs

Derrick Henry ($8,800)

Derrick Henry is expensive don’t get me wrong, but it’s The Jets. The Titans Offense outside of Henry has struggled this season. Julio Jones and A.J. Brown are both questionable for this one as well. The Titans may just let Derrick Henry win this game single handily. The Jets are awful and The Titans should be up in this game early leading to a nice game flow for King Henry.

Zack Moss ($5,300)

This one doesn’t excite me. Paying for a safer play like Henry will mean you have to find value somewhere. The Bills enter this game as a massive 17 point favorite. Moss seems to be getting much of the goal line work so far this season, he should also get the blowout run too. I hate picking guys in a split back field so I get if you don’t love this one, but you have to find value somewhere and this one feels pretty safe.

Wide Receivers

DJ Moore ($6,600)

DJ Moore is my connect the dot candidate with Sam Darnold. Moore is seeing double digit targets on a weekly basis. Robby Anderson has virtually become a non-factor in this offense. The Cowboys are extremely bad against the pass. DJ Moore is averaging over 20 DK points per game, and at $6,600 he’s a lock for me.

Calvin Ridley ($7,000)

If you are a tournament player I love this game as a possible stack. Calvin Ridley is just too cheap with his price decrease from last week when he was $7,500 and $7,900 in Week 1. I don’t know what Atlanta is doing with Kyle Pitts, but this is still an offense that runs through Ridley and I think until that changes we can just safely play him.

Tight-End

Pat Freiermuth (3,100)

I hope I never have to spell that last name again, but Big Pat well call him is in a pretty good spot here. He’s at a very solid cheap price point. The Steelers are an absolute mess right now. Big Ben has no time to throw the ball, he even somehow gave Najee Harris 19 targets last week. The Steelers should be behind in this game and Big Pat doesn’t need to do a ton at this price point. Big Ben is going to continue to check it down.

Defense

I love the Dolphins defense this week. I’m no defensive guru by any means as it’s always my challenging position. Carson Wentz is 11-20 against the spread following a loss. Carson Wentz also turns the ball over a lot. Miami should have a run heavy game script with Jacoby Brissett at Quarterback.
