FanDuel NFL 2021: Best lineup for Week 5
Quarterback
Kirk Cousins: Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions ($7,500)
Week in and week out, Kirk Cousins is virtually guaranteed to throw for hundreds of yards. Sure, he may not be the most beloved quarterback by Minnesota fans, but he has delivered as a dependable fantasy quarterback for several years now.
Before Week 4, Cousins scored at least 20 fantasy points every week in the NFL season, and he threw for 240+ yards in each game. Week 4 featured a tough matchup again Cleveland, so Cousins’ production dipped — which makes him the perfect pick to buy a little low this week.
Against the Lions, expect the Vikings to pull it together to stay at least slightly ahead of their 0-4 rival. It will be a tough game that requires both sides to keep up in the passing game, while neither defense offers much to stop any sort of pass attack.
Cousins will bounce back here after an off week, offering you a chance to save here on your lineup to spend elsewhere.
