DFS Week 5

Updated: Oct 10, 2021

Looking to rebound from tough loss last week

Oh, what a disappointment Week 4 was!


I was completely shut out last week as my cash lineup (129.90) was the dud of my 3 lineups.


If I had played either one of my GPP lineups (146.10 & 143.02), I would have hit my double ups, but a high-scoring week in all of DFS spelled doom.


I believe a 12-game main slate schedule will put my cash lineup in the money this week.


I will be providing my main cash and GPP lineups on my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/fantasyfbguru


Quarterback

High

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia ($7,000 DraftKings, $8,100 FanDuel): Hurts can be played as a stand alone or with one of his TEs because his rushing keeps his floor on the high side.


Low

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville ($5,800 DK, $6,500): Lawrence now gets his shot at the lowly Tennessee secondary.


Running Back

High

Derrick Henry, Tennessee ($9,000 DK, $10,400 FD): Henry may be this year’s version of the cheat code in DFS.


Low

Leonard Fournette, Tampa Bay ($5,200 DK, $6,400 FD): With Ronald Jones II apparently in the doghouse and Giovani Bernard nursing an injury, Fournette is in a smash spot vs. the Dolphins, who give up the fourth-most DFS points to RBs.


Wide Receiver

High

Davante Adams, Green Bay ($8,200 DK, $8,200 FD): With team total of 27 implied points and a close spread vs. Cincinnati, Adams should have a busy day.


Low

Laviska Shenault Jr., Jacksonville ($4,800 DK, $5,800 FD): Shenault Jr. should be a benefactor from facing the Titans’ porous secondary, which is giving up a league-worst 36.1 fantasy points to WRs.


Tight End

High

Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia ($5,100 DK, $6,100 FD): Personally, I’m paying down at TE in all my lineups, but Goedert would be my pick of the high end.


Low

Mike Gesicki, Miami ($4,200 DK, $5,600 FD): Tampa Bay is giving up 10-plus points to opposing TEs, and Gesicki has been a favorite target of Jacoby Brissett.


DraftKings Cash Core

Lawrence, Henry, Adams, Gesicki


Sneaky Stacks

Dak Prescott, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Dalton Schultz

Joe Burrow, Adams, JaMarr Chase, Tee Higgins


Last Week’s DK By the Numbers

QB: Patrick Mahomes 32.72, Taylor Heinicke 27.9

RB: Alvin Kamara 15.0, Zack Moss 12.1

WR: Davante Adams 12.4, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine 5.9

TE: Travis Kelce 6.3, Will Dissly 2.5
