NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Vikings vs. Browns Sunday Showdown (London Game)

Justin Jefferson - Fantasy Football rankings, NFL DFS, Injury News

Koby's top NFL DFS lineup picks for DraftKings, FanDuel -- Vikings vs. Steelers showdown slate for Week 4 Sunday morning Dublin game. His NFL daily fantasy sleeper picks.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! I think everyone was taken by surprise with the Rams, not showing up against the 49ers on Thursday night. The 49ers came out firing, and I think it even caught the Rams by surprise. They struggled to get much going until the second half, where they came up short in OT. This showdown should be less chalky with everyone priced appropriately.

We had the first international game in Dublin last week. This week, we are getting a game in London. The Minnesota Vikings (2-2) stuck around across the pond and will have a decent advantage here against the Cleveland Browns(1-3), who traveled this week.

I will provide you with daily fantasy football picks on DraftKings and FanDuel for the Sunday Morning Football game in London, England, for Week 5 -- Vikings vs. Browns on October 5, 2025. These NFL DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks.

MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Quinshon Judkins - RB, $14.7K (DK), $16.8K (FD)

Judkins has slotted in very quickly as the RB1 in this offense. In the last two weeks, he has had 18+ carries and should continue to see a lot of run. The Browns have elected to go with Dillon Gabriel at QB this week, and I can't imagine they'll throw him into the fire and have him passing a ton in his first game.

The Vikings' defense has been a little rough in the run game over the last few weeks, having given up big games to both Kenneth Gainwell and Bijan Robinson. Judkins has 80+ yards in his first two games as the lead back and is even getting some work in the passing game. I can see Gabriel needing to check down if the defensive line gets to him quickly, leading to what could be a big game from Judkins.

Justin Jefferson - WR, $17.1K (DK), $20.7K (FD)

Justin Jefferson played in 100% of snaps in last week's loss to the Steelers. He finished with 10 receptions and 126 receiving yards on 11 targets. This was by far Jefferson's best game of the season. I think he and Carson Wentz are finally working that connection out, and as long as Wentz is in the lineup, Jefferson should get plenty of opportunities.

Both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Zay Flowers had great games as the WR1 against the Browns. Although the Browns' defense has been relatively good this season, we should see a great game from Jefferson in this spot, who has seen a 29% reception share so far this season.

Other Captains/MVPs: Carson Wentz, Jordan Mason

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jordan Addison - WR, $8.4K (DK), $9.6K (FD)

Jordan Addison came in and made an immediate impact on the offense. We still have Carson Wentz at QB, which should help benefit Addison in the passing game. Addison saw eight targets in his first game back, catching four of them for 114 yards.

The Vikings had no issue playing him to his full potential last week; he played in 96% of snaps, and that should continue here. He should find himself lined up against Greg Newsome, who gives up .37 fantasy points per route run this season. We are still getting a good price on him here as well.

Will Reichard- K, $5.4K(DK), $7K (FD)

I'm gonna keep it here with the Vikings and their kicker Will Reichard. Reichard is perfect on the year so far with eight made field goals and eight made extra points. He has potential for double-digit fantasy points if the Browns defense holds better in the redzone, like they did against Green Bay, rather than how they did against Detroit.

He has a long of 62 so far this season and has massively improved in his accuracy compared to a year ago when he was hitting only 80% of his kicks. Reichard makes for a solid guy to get you some near guaranteed points.

Other Flex Options: Dillon Gabriel, Jerry Jeudy, T.J. Hockenson

 

Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Isaiah Bond - WR, $5.2K (DK), $4.4K (FD)

Cedric Tillman landed himself on the IR this week, which means Isaiah Bond should now find himself as the WR2. After Tillman went down last week, Bond was targeted six times and caught three of them for 58 yards. I'm hoping that the rookie-to-rookie connection comes into play here.

At 4.4k on FD, we don't need much from him to create the value we need. In the last two weeks, he has posted a snap percentage of 65% and 55%. Bond should see 70% or more in this week's game with Tillman being down. So far this season, Bond has played the majority in the slot, which should have him lined up against Josh Metellus, who gives up .35 fantasy points per route run this season.

Minnesota Vikings D/ST, $5.8K (DK), $7.4K (FD)

This Vikings Defense has shown to be lethal. Last time the Vikings went up against a backup QB, the defense finished with 30 fantasy points! I'm by no means saying that Dillon Gabriel is as bad as Jake Browning, but who knows what could happen in London. If Gabriel isn't prepared for this one, we could be seeing something from the Vikings' defense this week.

Other Value Options: Zavier Scott, Harold Fannin Jr.

 

Sample NFL DFS Lineup

Here is a lineup option I like for tonight's slate on FanDuel. Note that sample lineups are not intended to be used in contests by readers, but instead to show the type of roster construction that I am considering when building my lineups tonight.
