DraftKings NFL 2022: Best lineup for Week 5
TE: Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals ($3,500)
Hayden Hurst may not be an elite fantasy option this year, as he’s only the TE15, but he’s played 64 percent of offensive snaps and leads all tight ends in routes ran by tight ends, as he runs a route on 71.7 percent of his snaps.
As mentioned, this Cincy-Baltimore matchup will be a fantasy football firework show. Hurst has a chance to have a top-10 day. I’ll take upside and value in our Week 5 lineup.
FLEX: Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers ($4,900)
Romeo Doubs has cemented himself as an every-down wide receiver in Green Bay. He has the highest snap share among wide receivers for the Packers with 70 percent. He’s obviously earned Aaron Rodgers’ trust, and that can only mean good things for him moving forward. Even the eye test will tell you he looks like Green Bay’s best wideout.
We’re continuing to dump coal into the hype train this week as Doubs takes on the New York Giants, who have been sneaky good on defense but haven’t played a quarterback with the caliber of Rodgers.
D/ST: Dallas Cowboys ($2,500)
The Cowboys are the eighth-overall fantasy football defense this year, and they get a great matchup this week in the Los Angeles Rams, whose offense has been hard to watch this year. Dallas will absolutely disrupt the Rams, and we could see Matthew Stafford repeat his two-turnover performance.
