DFS NFL Podcast - Week 5 Game-By-Game Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/3/19

Doug and James are back with another #megapod, breaking down every single game on the main slate for cash games in week 5 in the DFS landscape on FanDuel and DraftKings.

It's arguably the most difficult week of the season, with particularly big questions at running back. Do we go with Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette, or split the difference with Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook? Ezekiel Elliott is generating lots of DraftKings buzz at his low prices - is he a must play over there? What about punt level plays that could have a lot of touches in positive game scripts, like David Montgomery and Wayne Gallman? The guys wade through this sea of running back uncertainty.

Quarterback brings more question marks, with the industry rallying around cheap options in great match-ups (like Andy Dalton) while also trying to assess whether it's better to simply avoid the question marks and go with still cheap and more proven options like Deshaun Watson or Lamar Jackson. Either way, there are a lot of good plays at multiple price tiers at both QB and RB this week, and it looks like we'll have to leave some good plays on the shelf.

Wide receiver is looking like a question mark at this point, with some of the potential plays depending on injury news from big names like Davante Adams and Christian Kirk. There are also a lot of huge upside possibilities, like grabbing Hopkins and Jones facing each other in a potential barn burner, or just going cheap and trying to catch lightning in a bottle with Hollywood Brown.

All in all, week 5 is sure to be a wild one, so feel free to grab a free seven day trial to the projections that power these podcasts over at https://www.dailyfantasysprotsrankings.com/deals, and hop into the DFSR members-only chatroom to discuss it from now until then.
