NFL Week 5 - Main Slate

Updated: Oct 8, 2022

Not a lotta people make it to this blog and thats cool. I really dont like sharing money anyways when the top lineup ends up being constructed here :) Ill start by adding in the position by position breakdown.

QBs



Josh Allen may just set the bar up top all year. The tricky thing with that is finding best time to play him vs when it pigeonholes your lineup. guaranteed the highest floor most weeks and thats good if everyone else sucks on a given week. Lets assume someone else does better. Kyler and Goff are the next two highest and most intruiging QBs per their usage on this chart. And then we see the cheap guys standing out. Lawrence and then Wentz is out there with no ownership projected but one of the top values if he can stay projected. Maybe this is a good week to go cheap QB?


RBs


Ekeler is sorta standing out for his usage understandably after last week. The surprise name to me is Breece Hall, which I think is based on his work with Flacco but will see if that remains a high value. Some guys who dont carry a ton of value but do have low ownership projections up top are Chubb and McCaffrey. Its worth looking at their matchups because RB work is hard to come by.

WRs


I'm not sure if St Brown is back or not. He could pair well with Goff if he is. Also not sure if Wilson is the WR1 or WR4 based on last week's workload, but him and Zay Jones could be good value if they are out there. Curtis Samuel too, who is the WR1 over McClaurin somehow. Oh well.

TEs



Higbee gets the most work of this TE group. However Zach Ertz is interesting if paying up. We get the philly revenge game narrative so theres that. Logan Thomas is also a cheaper value play if paying down and if hes in a good spot, which he is.


Summary of situations


Last week, Detroit/Seattle was the only game here, and this week we have 3 games showing up. Seems Detroit is built for shootouts, and that the Tampa run game can excel. Same with the Saints run game. With a guy projected to QB the Patriots named Zappe, whats the worst that can happen...

Vegas

I create my own vegas lines not because I want to guess the score or even the winner. However I like to see which games and teams I have going over the vegas projection in order to target certain teams or game situations. Right now there are 5 games of interest and I will explore their situations.


Whose been ruled out so far?

These guys... New orleans gotta have some value in there somewhere. Then again Andy Dalton is running the show.

Some top plays and projections based on situations

Goff isnt one I necessarily trust, in a game against an unknown QB who is likely worse than Mac Jones and Hoyer. But I feel like hes worth at least 1 lineup with all that Detroit has been through. Lets see what happens.
