TE: Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals ($3,300)

Hayden Hurst hasn’t been a fantasy football gamechanger by any means, but he’s sneakily ranked as the TE11 through five weeks and he’s playing nearly 100% of snaps for the Bengals offense. For that reason, he’s always going to be an interesting option just based on opportunity alone.

This week he has a tough draw against New Orleans, but the health of Tee Higgins being in question could cause Joe Burrow to rely on him even more in the passing game. Hurst is a solid flier option for the value he’s going at on DraftKings.

FLEX: Breece Hall, New York Jets ($5,800)

Breece Hall has firmly established himself as the RB1 for the New York Jets. Even as Michael Carter remains involved, Hall’s snaps and touches have gone up every week. His dual threat ability was a big reason why the Jets blew out the Miami Dolphins in Week 5.

Hall gets the Green Bay Packers who just got shredded by Saquon Barkley last week. Hall’s upside is enormous and to have him at the flex spot is a dream scenario.

D/ST: San Francisco 49ers ($3,700)

The San Francisco 49ers, as usual, have a stout defense; shutting down opponents on all aspects of their game. This week, the 49ers take on the Atlanta Falcons, whose offense has allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to defenses. This will be a tough test for Marcus Mariota and the rest of the Falcons’ offense, and the 49ers have the potential to wreck this game.
