FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 5
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs $7,100
As always, spending big on the running back position means having to take some money away from the wide receiver position. Luckily enough, the price for Stefon Diggs is still relatively low (comparatively, Deandre Hopkins is $1,600 more and has one more point on the season). He’s really motoring with this offense.
It’s a huge risk for fantays players to go all in on an offense. Taking a team’s quarterback and top wide receiver means if Allen has a bad game, it’s going to impact two players. This is not the matchup to worry about that. As explained in the Allen pick, the Titans are coming off a COVID break that was unprecedented. There’s no way they knew exactly how to keep everyone’s fitness up and the defense will especially be out of sorts at times on Sunday. This means a chance to blow the roof off the secondary for Diggs.
He really only needs one huge play to make him worth it, but based on how the Bills have been using him, expect Diggs to get work early and often. He’s never had less than six targets, and in two out of four matchups he had at least nine.
In the Titans’ last game, they allowed Justin Jefferson go absolutely crazy on them. He had 175 yards through the air and a touchdown. Diggs could do that and so much more on Sunday.
