Cash Game Strategy
Having dropped back 40-plus times in eight straight games, Carson Wentz has a slight edge over Russell Wilson for the top projected floor and Plus/Minus in our DraftKings Showdown Models. With the cheaper Wentz in the Captain spot, you can also fit in Wilson, Miles Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, Jordan Howard, and David Moore. There are other options you could also roll with over Lynch/Howard, but both are averaging double-digit carries and are the most likely back on their team to see goal-line work, so I think they give you more upside than kickers and DSTs, though it’s a volatile situation all around with both teams suffering from banged up offensive lines. With Malik Turner (concussion) and Jaron Brown (knee) ruled out, Moore should be Seattle’s clear-cut No. 3 wide receiver in what profiles as a plus matchup.
On FanDuel, our models peg Wilson with a slightly higher floor, as Wentz’s volume isn’t as volume without the potential 3-point yardage bonus. With Wilson in the Captain spot, you can fit Wentz and Moore with a pairing of either Sanders-Lynch or Tyler Lockett–D.K.Metcalf. The latter lineup would be projected for significantly more (5.6 points), so I’d be more inclined to go that route given the matchup, or split exposure between both.
