NFL Week 5 - DFS Values & Plays

Take advantage of the percentage a player is owned! The higher a player's exposure, the better you have to be at choosing other positions. Try to mix in different exposures to create your own unique lineup. Previous millionaire winners have a total ownership percentage of 100.56% each week, and the range between 75%-125% is recommended to increase your chances of winning.

QB: Bryce Young, $4,700 (5.84% Ownership)

Bryce Young is my favorite QB DFS play this week against Miami. The Dolphins rank in the bottom half of the league in both passing yards and passing touchdowns allowed per game, making them a defense we can attack through the air. Young has quietly been one of the league’s most active passers, ranking 5th in total pass attempts this season, and Carolina’s offensive line has done a solid job protecting him, allowing fewer than 2 sacks per game. The volume and matchup set up perfectly for Young to deliver a strong fantasy performance at low ownership and a great price point.

RB: David Montgomery, $5,200 (6.42% Ownership)

   David Montgomery is in a smash spot this week against a soft Cincinnati run defense. The Bengals rank 25th in rushing yards allowed per game and sit 25th in rushing touchdowns allowed per game, making them one of the most exploitable units on the slate. With Detroit entering as the biggest favorite of the week and boasting the highest implied team total, game script sets up perfectly for Montgomery to rack up volume and goal-line work. The Lions shouldn’t need to lean heavily on their star playmakers to secure the win, which opens the door for Monty to grind down the clock and feast against a defense that struggles to get stops. He’s a strong, potentially under-owned tournament play with multi-TD upside.

WR: Keenan Allen, $5,600 (9.05% Ownership)

   Keenan Allen sets up as an elite DFS option this week in a juicy matchup against Washington. He owns a 24% target share (20th in the league) and is tied for 6th in total targets, showing how consistently he’s been involved in the offense. He’s also top 10 in red zone targets and impressively hasn’t dropped a pass all season, making him one of the most reliable volume plays on the slate. This game carries the second-highest total of the week, signaling plenty of scoring opportunities on both sides, and Washington’s defense has been leaky, ranking 6th worst against the pass.

TE: Mason Taylor, $2,800 (5.15% Ownership)

   Mason Taylor is an under-the-radar DFS smash this week at just under $3K. He’s seen 13 targets over the last two games, showing he’s become a key part of his offense, yet his price hasn’t caught up to his usage. The matchup couldn’t be better—Dallas ranks as the worst pass defense in the league, allowing the most passing yards and passing touchdowns—making this a prime spot for a high-volume receiver to explode.
