FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 5 - Daily Fantasy Football

Just like that, it’s Week 5. However, before we move ahead, let’s take a moment to reflect on a wild Week 4, beginning with T.J. Hockenson, who had 179 yards and two touchdowns against the Seahawks. Speaking of, who would have ever thought that Geno Smith and Jared Goff would combine for 698 passing yards […]

Mark Andrews Looking To Bounce Back In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is coming off a rough Week 4 showing versus the Bills, one where he finished with only two receptions for 15 yards. However, considering the weather made things difficult for everyone involved, fantasy managers can forgive him for the subpar outing. With the Bengals on tap in Week 5, […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Rebound Versus Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to put together an MVP-caliber season. Despite a rough showing in Week 4 against the Bills, the 25-year-old continues to get it done through the air and on the ground. That said, there's no reason fantasy managers should keep him out of the starting lineup for the AFC North […]

Tyler Boyd Remains An Adequate Flex Option In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has quietly exceeded expectations in 2022-23. In his four appearances this season, the 28-year-old has 12 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't play the best against Miami at the end of September, catching two passes for 47 yards. However, Boyd is always in the running to […]

Ja'Marr Chase Has Favorable Matchup Ahead In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hasn't had the most productive season. Despite coming off an exceptional inaugural campaign, the 22-year-old has only surpassed 100 yards in a game just once this season. Even more concerning, Chase has had six catches or less in three of his four appearances. However, the former LSU Tiger has […]

Despite Rough Start, Keep Joe Mixon Going In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon continues to struggle throughout the 2022-23 campaign. While the former Oklahoma Sooner finally had a rushing touchdown, his failure to rush for 100 yards in a game or his shoddy average of 2.7 yards per carry hasn't given fantasy managers a comfortable feeling from week to week. With that […]

Joe Burrow Has History On His Side Against Baltimore

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has led his team to two-straight victories after going winless to begin the year. The signal-caller is quickly earning the trust of fantasy managers and will look to reestablish himself as a routine must-start option moving ahead.

Coby White Expected To Play On Friday

The 24-year-old averaged only 4.3 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 rebounds last season. However, he is expected to see routine minutes in 2022-23 behind Fred VanVleet, so his statistical contributions should increase. Still, […]

However, after Crowder learned he will likely see a reduced role moving ahead, he requested a trade. The veteran played in Miami briefly during the […]

In his 22 appearances for the Trail Blazers, he averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. The former first-round pick will likely remain buried on […]

Darius Garland Scores 12 Points In Preseason Loss
