CASH GAMES
Quarterbacks
| Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Desmond Ridder | at Panthers | $5,200 |
The best quarterback plays are clearly defined this week and the majority of them are discussed in the tournament section of the article. But Desmond Ridder is in play as an affordable option priced at just $5,200 in a decent matchup against a 1-12 Panthers team that ranks 18th in EPA/Play Allowed since Week 7. And Ridder offers some rushing upside as he's scored five rushing touchdowns on the year.
Running Backs
| Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Derrick Henry | vs. Texans | $6,900 |
| 2 | Ezekiel Elliott | vs. Chiefs | $5,800 |
| 3 | Chuba Hubbard | vs. Falcons | $5,600 |
| 4 | Rachaad White | at Packers | $7,000 |
| 5 | Raheem Mostert | vs. Jets | $7,100 |
| 6 | Breece Hall | at Dolphins | $6,400 |
This didn't look like a favorable spot for Derrick Henry a few weeks ago but things have certainly changed as of late. C.J. Stroud is doubtful with a concussion, Tank Dell is out, and Nico Collins is questionable. These injuries matter significantly because Henry produces more in favorable rushing game environments. The Titans are 3.5-point home favorites and Henry ranks 11th in the NFL in opportunities per game (18.8).
Rhamondre Stevenson is out once again, freeing Ezekiel Elliott up for another monster workload. Elliott turned a massive 30 opportunities last week into 140 total yards and a touchdown and now he gets to play at home against a Chiefs defense that only ranks 26th in EPA/Play Allowed and dead last in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7. I can't believe I'm saying this but Elliott is a cash game lock in Week 15.
In two games under interim head coach Chris Tabor, the Panthers offense has become extremely run-heavy as their PROE has plummeted from -1% to -14% overall and -1% to -17% on 1st and 10. Chuba Hubbard's averages in those two games: 25 opportunities, 100 total yards, and 1 touchdown. With the new coaching staff's approach, Hubbard is now one of the most valuable assets in all of fantasy football. He's at home although the matchup isn't ideal against a Falcons defense that ranks seventh in EPA/Play Allowed and fifth in Dropback EPA Allowed since Week 7. But the elite volume you're getting at just $5,600 is a cash game cheat code.
Rachaad White ranks seventh in opportunities per game (19.5) and 15th in total yards per game (89.5) and has a favorable matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 24th in EPA/Play Allowed and 17th in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7.
De'Von Achane is legitimately questionable, making Raheem Mostert a solid play once again. Mostert leads the NFL in touchdowns (18) and could see a larger workload than normal with inclement weather projected to affect this game and Tyreek Hill also in doubt of suiting up.
Breece Hall is a solid dual-threat in DraftKings full PPR scoring format. Hall's targets in his past three games: 9, 8, and 9. Hall caught 8 passes for 86 yards and 1 touchdown last week and projects to be targeted heavily once again in a come-from-behind game script against the Dolphins.
