DFS Week 5 <\/span><\/strong>Core Plays<\/span><\/strong>: Play Chris Godwin<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Week 5 DFS Quarterbacks<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lamar Jackson<\/a> $7100<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the quarter mark of the season, Jackson is the highest-scoring quarterback in Draft Kings scoring. He is essentially a lock for at least 20 points each week and has a ceiling 10-15 points higher than that. In Week 5, Jackson gets the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> who have allowed the 5th most DK points to the quarterback position. Because of his high floor, Jackson is a solid cash game option, but he can be used for GPP lineups, as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deshaun Watson<\/a> $6700<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Watson has been up and down through the first four weeks of the season. This Week he gets a fast-paced matchup against the pass-heavy Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons at Houston Texans game has the highest O\/U (49) on the main slate Sunday, and the Texans are five-point favorites (per vegasinsider.com<\/a>). This game is one to target with some stacks in GPPs. If Kenny Stills<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(hamstring) misses this game, Will Fuller<\/a> <\/strong> ($4500) would be a player of interest to stack with Watson in large-field GPPs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Ryan<\/a> $5900<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ryan has thrown for at least 300 yards in every game this season. As stated above, this Falcons\u2013Texans game has the highest Vegas total on the slate. You can stack both sides of this matchup in DFS this week. The preferred options to stack with Ryan this week are Julio Jones<\/a><\/strong> (7700) and Calvin Ridley<\/a><\/strong> (4900). They have the best individual matchups of the Falcons pass-catchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 5 DFS Running Backs<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Christian McCaffrey<\/a> $8700<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

McCaffrey has been a volume beast this season. Volume is king in fantasy football, and nobody gets more volume than CMac.\u00a0McCaffrey leads all running backs in touches, and yards gained.\u00a0<\/span>Play McCaffrey with confidence in cash or GPPs again this week.<\/span><\/p>\n
