Sunday's DraftKings cash lineup featured a Haskins-McLaurin stack that could've been something truly special. Injury also derailed a pricey Zach Ertz play, but my cash lineup still made it to 164 DraftKings points. Fine, but Week 17's DFS action can be even better.
This week's lineup will have a similar flavor in some way, though I'll swap in another dirt-cheap Washington quarterback. I thank DeAndre Washington, Tyler Boyd, DeVante Parker, and Miles Sanders for getting us to the finish line this past Sunday, though I'm going to some other plays in cash games in Week 17.
WEEK 17 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
DraftKings Week 17 Picks: NFL DFS cash lineup
SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: QB Jared Goff ($6,200), RB Christian McCaffrey ($10,000), Aaron Jones ($8,200), WR Justin Watson ($4,900), Steven Sims Jr. ($4,700), Danny Amendola ($4,500), TE Dallas Goedert ($4,900), FLEX Ryquell Armstead ($4,400), DST Bears ($2,100)
INITIAL MONDAY LINEUP BELOW:
QB Case Keenum, Washington @ Cowboys ($4,500). We got basement price on Haskins last week and were on pace for 5x before his injury. DK is again going way too low on a Washington pass offense that has been functional for stretches with both Haskins and Keenum, with the latter averaging 20-plus DK points Weeks 1-3.
WEEK 17 DFS:
DK GPP | Y! GPP | FD Cash | Values
RB Derrick Henry, Titans @ Texans ($8,100). The Titans benched Henry knowing that it comes down to winning Week 17, while the Texans' motivations are more unclear. The Texans run defense has faded, and they've dropped to 27th in DK points allowed to RBs.
RB Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys vs. Washington ($8,000). Washington just reinvigorated Saquon Barkley for the highest rushing game in his career during a total dead season for the sophomore back. Zeke's gone for 20-plus touches in each game since Week 6.
MORE: Which players are sitting out Week 17?
WR DJ Chark Jr., Jaguars vs. Colts ($5,800). Chark struggled in his return on Sunday, but the target volume makes him a strong play at mid-tier price. Chark has seen 9.5 average targets in Gardner Minshew's past four starts.
WR Michael Gallup, Cowboys vs. Washington ($5,400). Cooper's clearly back on the fritz, so the targets will flow to Gallup. He's hit double-digit targets in four games since Week 10.
WR Golden Tate, Giants vs. Eagles ($5,100): The Cowboys narrowly missed a few shots against an injury-depleted Eagles secondary, but Tate figures to get his chances at each level of the defense. Tate averages nine targets in his past six games with Daniel Jones starting.
WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS:
Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
TE Dallas Goedert, Eagles @ Giants ($4,900). Ertz exited for part of that Cowboys game, but 12 targets is a major workload for Goedert to get and then remain priced below $5K. Ertz is banged up and Goedert ranks fourth in TE targets since Week 11, making this a screaming play in cash.
FLEX DeAndre Washington, Raiders @ Broncos ($5,200). Washington's seen 20-plus touches in each of the past two games that Josh Jacobs has missed. Monitor Jacobs' status, because his absence would make Washington a really cheap workhorse at flex.
DST Packers @ Lions ($3,000). David Blough ranks last among quarterbacks to start the past four weeks in fantasy points per dropback, along with fourth in picks and third in sacks. I'll take mid-tier price.
