NFL DFS Value Plays (Cash Games) for Week 10 on FanDuel and DraftKings

carson wentz fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Brian Entrekin analyzes optimal DFS cash game value plays for Week 10 of the NFL season. These players are worth considering on FanDuel and DraftKings daily fantasy sports cash games.

Week 9 of the NFL season is in the books, and what a week it was. First, we saw the Jags do the unthinkable and beat the Bills. Then the Browns destroy the Bengals, a Bengals team most thoughts were much better than that performance. It was a wild week, so let's continue with the Cowboys getting embarrassed at home to the Broncos. There were many more instances as Week 9 was wacky as wacky can be, so let's move on to Week 10.

For Week 10, we will stick with the usual cash gameplan of looking for a solid floor and going from there, especially when it comes to value plays. Value this week is quite spread out. The popular moves will be paying up for running backs as most solid cash game options are priced up this week or will come out later due to injuries. However, the QB and TE positions will have plenty of value, leaving the WR position as an exciting pay-up or find value spot. It will be an exciting week for cash with a lot more news to watch for as the weekend unfolds.

This article will take a look at some of the value plays for each week of the NFL. However, when you look at value plays for GPP, you are somewhat swinging for the fences. Here I will be focusing on cash games and the necessity for slightly more safety as you are just looking to finish in the top half or so of the competition. Therefore, we are looking for cheaper players who should see a decent workload, be that pass attempts, targets, or carries. So, let's look at the cash value plays for Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season.

Quarterback DFS Value Plays - Week 10 Cash Games

Carson Wentz, IND vs. JAX | DK: $5,900, FD: $7,500

Wentz has been a model of consistency over the last six or so weeks, and that should not stop this week against the Jags. Wentz has looked healthy the last couple of weeks, and that has been evidenced by his outstanding play. Wentz has thrown for two or more touchdowns in six straight weeks, as well as a rushing touchdown or two. Wentz has also been good for 17 or more fantasy points in six consecutive weeks. As a result, he brings an insanely good cash game floor into this weekend's game at a very nice discount.

It also does not hurt that Wentz faces the Jags this weekend. A Jags defense that ranks 24th on the season versus opposing QB's. They are allowing an average of 286 passing yards and 21+ fantasy points per game. The Colts are 10 point favorites with an implied team total of 29. Points will be aplenty for, the Colts and sure Jonathan Taylor will get his, but Wentz and the Colts' passing game will be plenty productive. I've recommended Wentz in this article in previous weeks and will likely continue if the price does not change anytime soon.

Matt Ryan, ATL at DAL | DK: $6,000, FD: $7,300

The Falcons may be a lousy football team, but we do not care about that as Matty Ice has produced some excellent fantasy value along the way. He heads into the week ten action with 20+ fantasy points in five of eight games and four of his last five games. The solid fantasy production should not stop this week as he faces a Cowboys' very exploitable defense.

Ryan will face a Cowboys defense that has rated out well over recent weeks versus opposing QB's but Q.B.'still ranked 29th on the season. On the season, they are allowing an average of 287 passing yards per game, nearly two passing touchdowns per game, and well over 20 fantasy points per game. The Falcons are heavy nine-point underdogs, which means they should be passing early and often. They also have a 23 point implied team total, and even though they are dogs, they should score and score well. Fantasy points galore should show up in this game so enjoy the discount you get with Ryan and build around him in your cash lineups.

 

Running Back DFS Value Plays - Week 10 Cash Games

James Conner, AZ vs. CAR | DK: $6,300, FD: $7,000

With the injury to Chase Edmunds last week, it is Conner's backfield for the time being in Arizona. However, we saw last week just how explosive Conner is and what he can do with the workload. He had 21 carries to go with five receptions on his way to three touchdowns and 40 fantasy points. He obviously won't hit those numbers once again, but the workload should be the same. Conner has at least one rushing touchdown in six of his last seven games and has double-digit fantasy points in three straight games.

The workload will be there, and Conner also gets a great matchup versus the Panthers, struggling in recent weeks versus the run. They allow an average of 120 rushing yards, nearly five receptions per game, and over 20 fantasy points per game to opposing backs. Additionally, this week, the Cardinals are likely to be without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins again, which means more Colt McCoy and a heavy dose of running backs. Lastly, the Cardinals are also 10 point favorites with a near 28 point implied team total, which means fantasy points aplenty for Conner and the running game.

Leonard Fournette, TB at WAS | DK: $6,100 FD: $7,400

This is not a great week for value backs unless we get some major injury news (which is possible). That means Fournette is in play for cash if not paying up or using one of the other two options in this article. Before last week's step back in production, Fournette was a fantasy machine for the Bucs. He had 10+ carries in four straight games. He also has three or more receptions in all but one game this season. Fournette is not your standard workhorse back, but he gets the job done in fantasy production.

This week, Fournette gets a juicy fantasy matchup versus the Football Team. A WFT defense that has been good against the run this season but has also had issues defending backs in the passing game. Fournette should find production one way or another this week. It also helps that the Bucs are 10 point favorites with a team total of 30.5. They are coming off a bye week and should be pretty productive offensively. If they hit or even pass that team total, then expect Fournette to have a monster game.

Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL at DAL | DK: $6,600, FD: $7,800

It took me a few weeks, but I am all in on Patterson when it comes to fantasy this season. He is a great running back play week in, and week out, especially at these silly pricetags they keep giving him. Patterson has scored 14 or more fantasy points in seven straight games. He is getting six or more carries and usually five or more receptions in each game. To keep it easy, he is getting 10+ touches each game while usually finding the end zone each game.

This week he gets a great matchup versus the Cowboys in a game that he should see plenty of action. With Calvin Ridley out, Patterson has been used even more in the passing game, elevating his PPR scoring. Patterson will be locked into a lot of my cash and tournament lineups this week as the touches should come early and often. Expect big things from Ryan, Patterson, and some other Falcons players, well, at least in terms of fantasy production.

Other Options: If Zeke is out, then Tony Pollard is a phenomenal cash game play. Same for D'Ernest Johnson, as Nick Chubb has been ruled out. Lots of injury news heading into the weekend that can open up some significant value.

 

Wide Receiver DFS Value Plays - Week 10 Cash Games

Jamal Agnew, JAX at IND | DK: $4,500, FD: $5,300

Recommending any Jags player never feels good, and if you do not want to roster Agnew, I get it. However, Agnew is in play as a cash value because of the consistent workload we are seeing. Since D.J. Chark went down with an injury, Agnew has been a target monster. Over the last four games, Agnew has seen five or more targets in each game and has hauled in five or more receptions in three of four games. That consistent production has also led to double-digit fantasy production in three of four weeks.

This week Agnew faces a Colts defense that ranks 29th on the season versus opposing receivers. On the season, they are allowing nearly 180 receiving yards per game to WR as about two receiving touchdowns per game. The Jags are 10 point underdogs to the Colts, which should lead to Trevor Lawerence throwing a ton. If he throws as much as we think, Agnew should see another 5+ target game with ease, leading to another double-digit fantasy game. Not too shabby for a cash game value.

Cole Beasley, BUF at NYJ | DK: $5,200, FD: $6,100

Beasley is healthy and has become quite the target monster from Josh Allen. Beasley has seen 9+ targets in three straight games and should see his fair share again this week. With those 9+ targets each game, Beasley has also seen 7+ receptions with double-digit fantasy production in each game. The production has been so good that he has seen 20+ fantasy points in two of the three games.

This week he takes on a Jets defense that ranks 20th over the last four games versus wide receivers. The Jets have been a passing game siv in recent weeks, and that should continue against the Bills, who are coming off a horrible loss to the Jags. The Bills are 13 point favorites this week with an implied team total of 30.5. However, they should bounce back and score a ton this week. In which case, Beasley will get his fair share of targets and receptions yet again. There are a lot of mouths to feed in the Bills' passing game, but he has found a way to get his of late, and I do not see that stopping this week.

Tyler Johnson, TB at WAS | DK: $3,300, FD: $5,100

With the recent injury news of Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown officially being out this week and Chris Godwin a game-time decision, Johnson could be the total punt play at WR in cash games this week. In the Bucs' last game, which saw similar injuries to the receiving game, Johnson saw six targets, caught five of the passes, and racked up double-digit fantasy points. That should be the case once again this week if Godwin misses as well. So keep a close eye on the news this Sunday and be ready to lock Johnson into your cash game builds in a highly favorable matchup versus the Football Team.

UPDATE: Chris Godwin is expected to play this week.

 

Week 10 Tight End Cash Game Value Plays

Dan Arnold, JAX at IND | DK: $3,500, FD: $5,100

Arnold has joined the Jags and has been a fantasy machine. Arnold has received five or more targets in four straight games. In addition, he has made four or more receptions in three of four games while also racking up double-digit fantasy points in three of four games. Besides being a target monster, Arnold gets a great matchup versus a Colts defense that ranks 29th on the season versus tight ends. Look for Arnold to get his fair share again this week, making for a great cash gameplay.

Tyler Conklin, MIN at LAC | DK: $3,400, FD: $5,300

If one would like a little savings from Arnold, then look no further than Conklin. Conklin has seen five or more targets in five of six games and hauled in three or more receptions in five of those games as well. Conklin has 9.5 or more fantasy points in five games and has only scored one touchdown (since Adam Thielen is the Red Zone target). Conklin will continue to get his regular workload this week versus a Chargers team that ranks 28th on the season versus tight ends. Conklin, Arnold, and Pat Freiermuth make for great value at the tight end this week.
