NFL DFS Showdown – Week 7 (Thursday) – NO v ARI
There are still some questions as I write this about who will be the starting quarterback for the Saints on Thursday night. The lineup advice below assumes that it will be either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston. If for some reason it is Taysom Hill, then Hill instantly becomes the Captain play in Cash games.

New Orleans Saints @ Arizona Cardinals
| Team | QB | RB | Left | Slot | Right | TE | D | K | Vegas |
| New Orleans Saints | 51 | 44 | 52 | 45 | 63 | 55 | 39 | 58 | 44 |
| Arizona Cardinals | 55 | 47 | 52 | 53 | 57 | 40 | 68 | 57 | -2.5 |
Captain
- Chris Olave – Olave offers the best mix of floor and upside with a very reasonable salary that allows you to jam in other high-volume options at flex. With Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry out, Olave should get all the targets he can handle in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals outside defensive backs.
Cash Core
- Kyler Murray – It has been pretty but Murray has posted at least 16 DraftKings points in every game despite just four touchdown passes and two rushing scores through six games. He is the only QB to consider in Cash unless Hill randomly gets the start.
- Alvin Kamara – Kamara has been a ball hog for the Saints the last two weeks with 25 and 29 touches, respectively. He is due some positive touchdown regression (damn you Taysom Hill) which could come at any time.
- Eno Benjamin – Assuming that James Conner (game-time decision) is ruled out, then Benjamin should get a majority of the touches out of the backfield for the Cardinals. He didn’t do much with his 18 touches last week but the volume is what you want on a single-game slate in Cash.
GPP
While things could change depending on the Saints’ starting QB, my initial GPP build has Kyler Murray at Captain with DeAndre Hopkins at flex as his only receiver as I’m hoping for a Murray rushing score or two. Then bring it back on the Saints side with Olave and Taysom Hill (assuming he is not the starting QB) and round it out with a kicker and defense.
