DFS NFL Podcast - Week 6 Preview and Week 5 Recap FanDuel and DraftKings 10/8/19

James and Doug are back to break down week 5, and their excellent cash game run to start the 2019 NFL DFS season.

Week 5 cash games were mostly decided by a few key players, with individual performances making up for any mistakes you may have made along the way. Whether you were able to grab Deshaun Watson at QB, Christian McCaffrey at RB, Will Fuller or Michael Thomas at WR, or the Eagles D, you pretty much needed one of these huge performances in order to get there.

While there wasn't much injury news this week, the guys do discuss the sickening hit taken by Mason Rudolph, and where we can project the Steelers going forward as they continue to march down their depth chart.

Doug and James also discuss the changing of the guard at running back and wide receiver this year. The top names on the running back touches list are somewhat unfamiliar, and from week to week running backs are looking highly game script dependent. With no Christian McCaffrey on the main slate this week, it's going to be tough to find 2-3 that they feel really good about.

Wide receiver has been interesting as well, with none of the top wide receivers coming into this season doing much at all, and a new class of top names emerging. Are Chris Godwin, Amari Cooper, Cooper Kupp, and Michael Thomas still too cheap? Are Julio Jones, Deandre Hopkins, and Odell Beckham Jr. still too expensive? The guys break it all down.

Tight end continues to be a mess, with no tight end scoring more than 15 fantasy points this week. C'est la vie.

To celebrate their 8-2 start to the cash games season, DFSR is giving you the rest of the season at the incredibly low price of $82! This deal will only last until the end of this week (when they will no longer be 8-2), so go ahead and grab it while you can!
