The DFSR team soldiers on, giving you their cash game plays for week 6. On FanDuel, quarterback has one clear leader of the pack in DeShaun Watson. On DraftKings, the guys discuss potentially chasing some cheaper options in Ryan Fitzpatrick or Matthew Stafford. It's a very short main slate, and the savings might matter more than ever. Two running back plays look fairly locked in right now, with Mike Davis and Alexander Mattison leading the pack by a fair margin. If Mattison doesn't play, however, things get dicey in a hurry. The guys discuss other options, like Ronald Jones Jr., Aaron Jones, and even Kareem Hunt in a tough match-up. Wide receiver gives us a few more great mid-range options in Jamison Crowder and Robby Anderson, and then a wide variety of options to choose from after that. Can we trust Calvin Ridley if Julio Jones returns? What about Chase Claypool or Travis Fulgham? Wide receiver is very interesting this week, with a number of directions to turn. Tight end is a mess as usual, with Jonnu Smith leading a very uninspiring field. Enjoy the podcast! Love the DFSR podcast? Go ahead and subscribe and listen wherever you get your daily podcasts.

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Deshaun Watson FD 8200 DK 7000 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 22.48 DK - 23.25 In his first game, post-Bill O’Brien, Watson had his best game of the season against the Jaguars. He threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns while also getting out for 25 rushing yards. Sure, Jacksonville is the league’s worst defense, but it was good to see Watson return to some of the big-number form we’d seen from him in years past. After a brutal scheduling run to start the season, we may be getting the old Watson back now. Unfortunately, the matchup against the Titans isn’t exactly ideal coming off a week in which they shut down Josh Allen. But Watson still is about as dynamic a quarterback as you’ll find on this slate and the price hasn’t gotten all the way back after some early-season struggles. Ryan Fitzpatrick FD 7400 DK 5900 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 20.59 DK - 21.63 Between byes, scheduling and injuries, the top five DraftKings-scoring quarterbacks aren’t on this slate so we are going to have to a dig a bit deeper this week to find some value at the position. Fitzpatrick has had a solid if unspectacular start to the season though some of that is a volume issue. Miami has two games already in which they were in complete control (SF in Week 5, JAX in Week 3) and Fitzpatrick didn’t top 30 passing attempts in either. But he’s also had two games (SEA in Week 4, NE in Week 1) in which he failed to record a passing touchdown and threw five combined interceptions. So it’s been an up-and-down season. This week he gets the Jets who rank 31st against the pass which is even more damning when you see they had three weeks of Brett Rypien, Jimmy G and the no-pass Colts. Fitzpatrick keeps the floor higher with gains on the ground, ranking fourth among quarterbacks in rushing yards this season and he’s a total bargain on DraftKings. Matthew Stafford FD 7300 DK 6300 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 21.12 DK - 21.91 Stafford gets the aforementioned Jaguars this week who rank dead last against the pass in part because they allow a league-worst 8.7 passing yards per attempt. That’s a half yard more than the next...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 5 Game by Game Breakdown for DraftKings and FanDuel
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 5 Game by Game Breakdown for DraftKings and FanDuel Welcome back for our week 5 NFL game by game breakdown, where Doug and James go game by game on the main slate for FanDuel and DraftKings.

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! It's hard to remember a time with less certainty in the NFL. We've got whole games in jeopardy, big stars with injury tags, and a number of teams with incredibly unusual starts to the season. God, it's great to have sports in our lives again. In this week's game by game breakdown the guys discuss how this week is shaping up. Is there any running back value to be had here? Can we trust Kareem Hunt given what we saw from D'Ernest Johnson last week? Will Damien Harris continue to shoulder most of the carries for New England? Or are we better off playing it safe with the likes of Mike Davis and James Conner? There's a lot to discuss there. Wide receiver poses challenges of its own. The guys were bullish on Terry McLaurin in the cash game podcast yesterday, but with Kyle Allen taking over as his QB do they feel the same way? Will the change in coaching staff in Houston be good or bad for the Texans' offense in the near term? What on Earth can we make of the Falcons' receiving corps after what we saw last week? The position is sort of a mess. Tight end adds a few question marks too, with Kittle potentially getting Jimmy G back (is that good or bad?) and likely being in a different game script this week as well. With all these question marks, this isn't a podcast you'll want to miss. Enjoy! Love the DFSR podcast? Go ahead and subscribe and listen wherever you get your daily podcasts.

DFS NFL Podcast – Week 5 Cash Games for DraftKings and FanDuel
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 5 Cash Games for DraftKings and FanDuel It's time for the Week 5 cash game DFS NFL Podcast with the guys breaking down every position for your cash game needs on FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL, NHL and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Week 5 is here, and Doug and James are back to break down their cash game plays on DraftKings and FanDuel. With the league swirling with uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, we should understand that these are preliminary looks at cash game selections. That being said, we do have a number of good options this week. Quarterback looks to be a position we are going to pay up at again, with the usual suspects all looking like great plays in good match-ups. The guys discuss whether we can trust Dak's production given the wild game scripts the Cowboys have played, whether we can take a little savings and play Deshaun Watson, or even turn to Teddy Bridgewater on DraftKings. Running back features a few interesting cheaper options in Mike Davis, Kareem Hunt, and Jerick McKinnon, with some nice expensive options in Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry (if the Titans play, of course). Wide receiver was more of a mixed bag, with Amari Cooper ($7,800 on FD) being the only expensive wide receiver entering into consideration. It looks like another week where we'll fill out our cash game rosters with cheaper or midrange options like Robby Anderson or Terry McLaurin. Tight end looks to be a one man show this week, with George Kittle feeling a heck of a lot safer than the rest of the cheaper options. There's a chance we pivot to Jonnu Smith if the Titans actually play, but for now it looks like the rare week where we'll be paying up at tight end. Love the DFSR podcast?

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 5
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 5 Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time we're offering a free one week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Dak Prescott FD 8700 DK 7400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 25.86 DK - 26.71 The Cowboys' season is getting a little out of hand at this point. They are 1-3 to start the year despite scoring the second-most points in the league through four weeks. They’ve had to get into shootouts with the defense allowing, by far, the most points in the league at 146. Some of that is poor play, some is ill-timed turnovers. But overall it’s been a mess for Dallas. I was on record before Week 4 that Dak’s passing attempts per game were unsustainable. Whoops. He chucked up 58 on Sunday for 502 yards, four touchdowns and a loss. They come in Sunday as -9 favorites against the Giants in what should be another smash spot for the offense. Again, it doesn't seem like this kind of volume can continue, but it's also getting tougher to bet against it with each passing week. Dak needs to be at, or near, the top of the list simply because the volume is just out of this world. Deshaun Watson FD 7900 DK 6900 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 23.14 DK - 23.92 On the one hand, Watson has been pretty bad to start the season, losing his first four games with a 2:1 TD:INT rate. He's also barely getting involved at all on the ground with only 17 total rushing yards. And now the Texans have fired Bill O’Brien. So it’s been kind of a dumpster fire. But they did have a very tough schedule through the first quarter of the season and now get their easiest matchup yet. The Jaguars are the 29th-ranked defense, but at dead last against the pass according to DVOA. They are allowing 8.4 yards per pass attempt (third-worst) and a 77% opponent completion percentage which is the highest in the league. If Watson is going to turn it around, this is the game. He’s priced a bit lower because of the early season returns and this could be the time to buy low. Teddy Bridgewater FD 7100 DK 5900 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 18.43 DK - 19.09 Bridgewater continues to look more comfortable under center in his first year with the Panthers, guiding the team to wins in back-to-back weeks.
