Week 5 NFL Flowchart – DraftKings DFS

Helping you build well-correlated and well-constructed lineups for GPP contests

Week 5 Landscape

I’ve got a little bit more time on my hands this week, so I wanted to cover some of the general themes I am seeing in Week 5. Right off the bat, I think the winning scores this week are going to be quite a bit lower than what we’ve seen so far this season. We don’t have KC, BUF, LAR, SEA, or BAL on the main slate this week. These teams take a lot of high ceiling potential with them to the island games. Additionally, we don’t have a ton of juicy game environments screaming our name. The New York Giants at Dallas is going to be the most popular game to stack this week. After that there is a pretty steep cliff.

Derrick Henry and Davante Adams stick out well ahead of the crowd in both point and roster utilization projections. I think it’s important to fit these guys into your cash game lineups, and equally important to find leverage off of them in GPPs. We have another week of popular bargain bin TEs. As I mentioned previously, there’s almost nothing I hate more than playing a cheap and chalky Tight End. These guys oftentimes have a good chance to post a zero for the week, so it’s an easy spot to add some +EV into your lineups. Let’s get into the Week 5 Flowchart.

On a weekend filled with stud QBs, Tom Brady is oftentimes going to get lost in the shuffle when it comes to winning GPP lineups. The Buccaneers have so many different weapons, and we oftentimes don’t see their production condense enough for a double stack to pay off. A lot of the focus this week is going to be on the mid to low tier QBs with rushing upside, Daniel Jones, Trey Lance, and Justin Fields. You could make an argument that pocket passer Tom has the highest ceiling on the slate, so I am going to lean into that.
