That all changes this week when the Giants travel to Dallas. Dallas has leaked fantasy points to everyone so far and that shouldn\u2019t change this week. Engram has been disappointing so far but he\u2019s playing over 90% of snaps and seeing a healthy target share at over 20%. As mentioned with Jones, Dallas is playing faster than anyone in the NFL. This should help Jones and the Giants push a faster pace as well. Combine all of this with the probability they are trailing and chasing points and we should see a nice bounce-back game for Engram here.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Evan Engram has faced brutal PIT, CHI, SF, LAR so far.

The lower options don\u2019t look too enticing. When paying up, Kelce is always one of the safest options. Every year he puts up wide receiver level numbers at the tight end position. This gives you an advantage over the field. Kelce brings such a safe floor with a massive ceiling that I\u2019ll never advise fading him. This is a week that I may end up with the salary to pay up at tight end and Kelce taking on the Raiders is as safe as it gets.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SchuDa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dalton Schultz<\/a><\/strong> (DAL) \u2013 $4,800 v NYG,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/E\/ErtzZa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zach Ertz<\/a><\/strong> (PHI) \u2013 $5,700 @ PIT,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WallDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darren Waller<\/a><\/strong> (LV) \u2013 $5,900 @ KC<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Defense\/Special Teams<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of choosing a defense\/special teams, it\u2019s the last spot I fill in every week. It\u2019s pretty random but there are a few areas to gain an advantage. I look to target the heavily favorited teams as they usually are playing with a lead. This forces their opponent to throw it more often which can help lead to extra sacks and turnovers and hopefully a touchdown. Another aspect to target is turnover and sack-prone quarterbacks. With that being said, my advice is to fill out the rest of your lineup first and then pick your favorite D\/ST out of the remaining money.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>My Tentative Cash Game Lineup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>QB \u2013 Kyle Allen<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Clyde Edwards-Helaire<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Mike Davis<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Robby Anderson<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Diontae Johnson<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Darius Slayton<\/li>\n<li>TE \u2013 Travis Kelce<\/li>\n<li>Flex \u2013 Ezekiel Elliott<\/li>\n<li>DST \u2013 New York Giants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to tune in next week to see the results from my Week 5 DraftKings plays and to see the best picks for Week 6.
