NFL DFS DraftKings GPP Picks: Week 5 (Fantasy Football)

For the purposes of this article, I’ll be highlighting plays that I believe have upside for large field GPPs at reduced roster percentages, but that doesn’t mean we can’t sprinkle in some cash plays into our GPP lineups as well. In fact, most of the best tournament lineups feature some combination of high rostered plays as well as lower rostered plays. For my full breakdown on DraftKings for Week 4 cash games, be sure to check out my DraftKings cash picks here.

When building your GPP lineups, be sure to reference our Roster Percentage Report as well as our DFS Rankings in order to identify plays who have a solid projection yet may be undervalued by the field. In order to compete in GPPs, we’ll want to utilize a combination of cash plays and GPP plays in order to build solid lineups without sacrificing too much in the way of projection. For more on how to use roster percentages and build strong GPP lineups, be sure to check out this episode of the DFS Podcast.

Quarterbacks

Joe Burrow $6,400 vs. BAL
Baltimore has morphed into one of the league’s most obvious pass funnels. They’re #1 against the run while allowing opposing passers to average the eighth-most YPA and third-most pass yards per game. It’s match made in heaven for a Joe Burrow led team that ranks fifth in pass rate over expectation, so we should see plenty of volume from Burrow given that opponents facing Baltimore this year have thrown at the league’s second-highest rate. With Cincinnati’s defense giving up yards and points in bunches, it’s very possible that Burrow and the Bengals are pushed here in this home matchup featuring one of the slate’s highest totals.
