Having nearly every player in the league to choose from can make DraftKings incredibly entertaining while being equally frustrating and challenging. Setting the perfect lineup is not an easy task.
DraftKings has become a weekly staple of fantasy football, with millions of players and millions of dollars in prizes being paid out. Choosing a lineup is one of the most fun yet challenging things because there are just too many players to choose from.
Last week’s lineup had pretty solid success and would have been substantially better had Cooper Kupp, Jaylen Waddle, and Chris Carson hit their projections.
This week’s lineup features another star-studded lineup while choosing a lower-tier quarterback. Let’s get into it.
Best DraftKings lineup for Week 5
Quarterback: Daniel Jones ($6,000) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Daniel Jones is a top-10 fantasy quarterback so far in 2021, as he’s by far had his best season as a Giant. These stats aren’t translating to wins in real-life football, but Jones has racked up fantasy points all season — both in the air and on the ground.
Jones gets another matchup that’s going to have him throwing the ball a ton. Though Dallas’s defense has shown signs of improvement throughout the season, they still end up in high-scoring games.
Jones will likely see another top-10 finish due to a negative game script, and him being only $6,000 is a huge steal here.
