NFL DFS Cash Game Picks for Week 5
As Week 5 of the NFL season approaches, players are preparing their DFS cash game lineups. Key strategies include targeting players with a strong combination of floor and ceiling, particularly those who are underpriced and likely to see increased usage.
Drake Maye is highlighted as a quarterback option after a strong performance against the Bills, where he threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for 54 yards. He faces the Raiders at home, making him a valuable pick at $6,300 on DraftKings. Jordan Love is another quarterback to consider, priced at $5,700 on DraftKings, especially with a favorable matchup against the Bears that could lead to increased passing opportunities.
At running back, Jahmyr Gibbs is noted for his significant role in the Lions' offense, particularly in a high-scoring game against the Cardinals. D’Andre Swift is also recommended, as he is expected to dominate carries against a struggling Packers defense. For wide receivers, Garrett Wilson's target volume in the Jets' offense makes him a strong candidate, while Christian Watson is favored for his potential to score alongside Love. Tight end options include Trey McBride, who is expected to excel against the Lions, and Colston Loveland, a budget-friendly choice with increasing involvement in the Bears' passing game.
