NFL DFS DraftKings GPP Picks: Week 5 (Fantasy Football)
These are upside plays for large-field GPPs, not a complete player pool. Strong tournament lineups often pair popular cash plays with lower-rostered leverage. Use Betz’s Cash Plays (here) and DFS Rankings (here) alongside these recommendations to construct solid GPP lineups.
Note: Plays are listed by salary, not preference.
For pOwn and Point Proj, this is from my personal weekly projections sheet that blends multiple data points.

Jared Goff | $6,600 | @ ARI
Projection: 22.54 DK points at 14.40% pOwn, with a 32-point ceiling.
DET carries a 30-point implied total in the slate’s highest-total game, and I want access to those passing TDs rather than avoiding the game because everyone found it. Pairing Goff with Jameson Williams and/or Sam LaPorta gives us a different allocation of DET’s production without needing the offense to disappoint. Goff is not particularly sneaky himself, so the separation needs to come from his receivers and the rest of the lineup.
