NFL DFS Cheat Sheet: Picks for Every Game (Week 5)

NFL DFS Cheat Sheet: Picks for Every Game (Week 5)

There are four teams on bye, and there’s another game abroad, leaving us with a 10-game DFS main slate for Week 5 at DraftKings and FanDuel. Below is the pool of players I’m using from both sites as of the publication of this piece. Rico Dowdle is a player I’d like to bring attention to among the GPP suggestions, since he wasn’t featured in the game stack suggestions for the Dolphins at the Panthers in the NFL DFS Week 5 Picks & Predictions piece published on Thursday. Finally, as always, I’ll update this piece with showdown suggestions and any necessary updates for the main slate player pool after injury reports are finalized. So, circle back over the weekend to see my showdown slate suggestions and any possible additions or subtractions from the suggested players for the main slate.

Updated at 5:40 p.m. ET on October 4. Any changes to the main slate suggestions are in italics.
