Week 5 Primetime DFS Domination

Lineup recommendations for DraftKings and FanDuel for Week 3 DFS fantasy football primetime slate.

The massive popularity of small DFS slates has propelled us to expand our DFS coverage. I will give you my favorite lineup for the Primetime Slate each week. We will release these as soon as both sites release their pricing.

Recommended Primetime DFS lineups

DK Lineup: QB Justin Fields ($5.8k), RB Alvin Kamara ($7.5k), RB Najee Harris ($5.9k), WR Xavier Worthy ($6.3k), WR George Pickens ($6.0k), WR Jalen Tolbert ($4.7k), TE Jake Ferguson ($4.8k), FLEX Travis Kelce ($5.8k), DST Kansas City Chiefs ($3.1k)

FD Lineup: QB Justin Fields ($7.6k), RB Alvin Kamara ($8.6k), RB Najee Harris ($6.5k), WR Chris Olave ($6.9k), WR George Pickens ($6.0k), WR Xavier Worthy ($6.2k), TE Travis Kelce ($7.1k), FLEX Kareem Hunt ($5.5k), DST Kansas City Chiefs ($4.6k)

Patrick Mahomes is the only safe pivot at QB. His price is considerably higher than Justin Fields, so be prepared to get cheaper at WR if you opt for this path.

Kareem Hunt (shoulder) escaped an injury designation and will play. Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) also avoided an injury label and will play. If he suffers a pregame setback, use Hunt or Jamaal Williams and then spend up at WR and FLEX.

Any WR pivot should include some combination of CeeDee LambRashid Shaheed, JuJu Smith-SchusterJalen Tolbert, and Justin Watson.

I support using Pat Freiermuth as a TE pivot or FLEX play. In the TE wasteland, it is amazing that we have several solid plays at the position on this small slate. Double-TE needs to be on the table.

Here are seven sleepers to play in fantasy football for Week 5.

With the first quarter of the fantasy football season now behind us, managers are looking for any kind of edge as the playoff races begin to heat up. That’s where the sleepers come in.

We will be using The Huddle’s weekly PPR projections and rankings as a reference. In order to qualify as a sleeper, we are taking a look at quarterbacks ranked outside the top 12, running backs and wide receivers ranked outside the top 24, and tight ends ranked outside the top 10.
