Cash Games: Week 8 Review/Week 9 Preview with Charles Sears


Cash Games: Week 8 Review/Week 9 Preview with Charles Sears


In this episode, Charles Sears and I recap our Week 8 head-to-head meeting and preview Week 9. First, we look back at our latest head-to-head meeting, which Charles won by 12 points. Charles talks about how he followed his usual plan by taking a cheaper Carson Wentz at his QB. I respond by explaining what went wrong with Philly's Jalen Hurts despite the Eagles putting up over 40 points on the Detroit Lions. Please do not put me more on tilt from this game! We also talk about our similar and different lineup selections. Charles comments on Texans receiver Brandin Cooks worked out well despite Houston losing to the LA Rams by 16 points. Onto Week 9, I start with the likeliest cash play of the play. With legendary Packers starter Aaron Rodgers testing positive for COVID-19, Jordan Love seems poised to be the cash play. Despite not starting since college, Love faces a Chiefs defense that is giving up more than its fair share of big plays. We also look at Hurts, and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson at more expensive cash plays. At running back, we differ a little. Charles explains how he likes Alvin Kamara against the Falcons. I explain how Taysom Hill only targeted Kamara once in this exact game last year. Afterwards, he voiced his support for Green Bay's other Aaron - Aaron Jones. With Rodgers out for Sunday's game, Love could pepper Jones with targets. I explain why Chargers running back Austin Ekeler could excite DFS owners with his running and receiving against the Eagles. We also talk about Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. Onto receiver, we start with Kansas City's fastest cheetah - Tyreek hill. After an 18-target game on Monday night, Hill could get another big workload against GB. Finally, we both like Brandin Cooks against the Dolphins. A little cheaper than Cooks, we breakdown a cheap Amari Cooper, Tee Higgins, and Hunter Renfrow. At tight end, we like two punt plays. With Noah Fant in COVID protocol, Albert Okwuegbunam should pay off at just $2,600. If Fant can play, Minnesota's Tyler Conklin is another cheap option at $3,000 against the Ravens. We end this episode by talking about our favorite DFS defenses - the Bills and Raiders.
