After it’s worst performance in two-plus years, this FanDuel cash games lineup looks to get back to its winning ways this Sunday. To finish on the right side of the money line, this daily fantasy entry will play the Colts and Packers matchup heavily as it is expected to be the highest-scoring game of Week 9.

Lineup

QB – Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers, $9,100 (Opponent: Indianapolis Colts)

The Packers’ quarterback has averaged 45 pass attempts over his last four contests. And he has been especially hot in his last two games. In those games, he has a total of eight touchdowns and has averaged 286 passing yards. With the Colts’ owners of the 29^th ranked DVOA versus the pass, there is no reason for Rodgers’ numbers to slow this week.

RB – Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys, $9,200 (Opponent: Cleveland Browns)

In their last four games, the Browns have struggled mightily against running backs. During that span, they have surrendered 29.8 fantasy points per game to the position. In that same amount of time Elliott has averaged 22 FanDuel points per game.

RB – Charcandrick West, Kansas City Royals, $5,600 (Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars)

With Spencer Ware out this week, West finds himself in a great spot and at an even better price. The running backs should be a lock for 20-plus touches, as the Chiefs’ starting running back is averaging 25 carries a game this season. The heavy expected workload should result in monster numbers for West in Week 9.

The Jaguars have the 27^th ranked run defense in 2016 and have allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs in the last two weeks.

WR –Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys, $7,800 (Opponent: Cleveland Browns)

Bryant has 100 yards or a touchdown in his last three games this season. Bryant should reach both benchmarks in this one. As bad as the Browns are against the run, their defense has been even worse against the pass this season. They have the 30^th-ranked pass defense DVOA this season. And they are even worse against the top passing option of the opponent. On the season they have the 31^st DVOA against No. 1 wide receivers.

WR – Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers, $7,100 (Opponent: Indianapolis Colts)

Pairing up Rodgers with Adams should pay off this week. The wide receiver appears to be Rodgers’ favorite target. In his last two games, Adams has seen 30 passes thrown his way. With the large involvement in the passing game, the pass catcher has hauled in 25 catches for 206 yards and two scores. Indianapolis has the 31^st-ranked DVOA against the passing attack so Adams should carve up the Colts’ secondary this weekend.

WR – Donte Moncrief, Indianapolis Colts, $6,100 (Opponent: Green Bay Packers)

In his first game back last week, Moncrief played in 89 percent of the Colts’ offensive plays and led the team in targets. This use should not come as a surprise. In the 11 games that Moncrief has played with Andrew Luck since the start of last season, the wide receiver has seven touchdowns.

Look for another touchdown from the pass catcher this week. Green Bay has allowed five touchdowns to wide receivers in their last three games.

TE – Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings, $5,000 (Opponent: Detroit Lions)

The tight end has seen at least six targets in all but one game this season and has been the emphasis of the Vikings’ passing game down around the end zone. Rudolph leads the NFL in red zone target share with 38.9 percent.

Being the go-to guy inside the 20 should pay off big for the tight end this week. Detroit has the 27^th-ranked DVOA versus the position this season and also has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2016.

K – Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts, $5,000 (Opponent: Green Bay Packers)

The kicker has scored double-digit FanDuel points in six of the Colts’ eight games this season. Vinatieri should be plenty busy in what should be a high-scoring affair on Sunday. Green Bay has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to kickers this season.

D – Kansas City Chiefs, $5,000 (Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars)

The Chiefs have scored at least 10 FanDuel points in three straight and four of their last five contests.
