Week 7 DraftKings Cash-Game Picks


RBs

Derrick Henry, Titans ($9,200)

You won’t catch me in a cash game without Henry. The $9,200 price tag seems cheap when you consider the numbers: 5 straight 100-yard rushing games, 3 games of 3 TDs and 20+ carries in 5 straight. Henry is averaging a massive 30.9 DK points per game.

Now he gets arguably the worst run defense in the league. The Chiefs rank 31st in Football Outsiders’ run defense DVOA and 32nd in Pro Football Focus’ run defense grades. Our Week 7 projections have Henry for 8.4 more DK points than any other RB.

Darrell Henderson, Rams ($6,600)

Henderson is getting RB1 usage. In 4 healthy games, he’s played 82% of the Rams’ offensive snaps and run a route on 74% of pass plays. Henderson has averaged 17 carries and 2.8 targets across those games. And he’s scored 15.7+ DK points in all 4 of them.

Henderson is in a dream spot on Sunday as a 16-point home favorite with a 33-point implied total vs. the Lions. Detroit ranks dead last in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.

D’Andre Swift, Lions ($6,000)

To be perfectly honest, I’m getting sick of writing about Swift in this space. He scored another 17.7 DK points last week … and his price went down $300.

Swift now ranks 3rd among main-slate RBs in DK points per game (omitting Christian McCaffrey). He sits 3rd in our Week 7 projections. But he’s just 9th in DK salary (omitting McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley).

Swift garnered another 7 targets last week, giving him 5+ in every game this season. Among RBs, only Najee Harris has more total targets. Expect another busy outing for Swift in the passing game on Sunday with the Lions 16-point underdogs at the Rams.

Also consider: Leonard Fournette ($6,400)
