FanDuel Fantasy Football Value Rankings: Strategy, lineup for Week 5
By Mike Dente
DFS positional rankings based on value in FanDuel Fantasy Football for Week 5 of the 2017 NFL season, including an optimal lineup.
Hello everyone, and welcome to Week 5 of the NFL season! NFL Spin Zone is the place to be for all of your DFS needs, and we’ve got you covered with some new, fresh content that will help you build the best possible FanDuel lineup. Before we get to it, please feel free to check out my DraftKings Value Rankings for Week 5 as well.
This is my position-by-position complete rankings list for FanDuel for Week 5 of the 2017 NFL season. Here’s how it works:
The rankings are based in order of value, not overall typical rankings you would see on other sites. For example, I may have “Player X” who costs $4,300 ranked above “Player Y” who costs $8,300. Not because I think he’s a flat out better player for the week, but because he provides better bang for you buck at his salary. Rankings based on value! This should help you build a much better team.
A double asterisk (**) indicates that player is listed as questionable for the week. Thus, you should make sure to monitor his status and be cognizant of the fact that he could be limited. Players listed as doubtful or out will be something I try to not have int he rankings.
After each set of rankings, there will be a breakdown of certain players as well as notes about strategy at the position. Following the rankings, I will submit my optimal lineup on the very last slide.
Bold players are recommendations if you are playing in tournaments, as playing with large numbers requires different strategy. These players have upside, despite being projected with a low ownership percentage. Smaller leagues will require a different strategy.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the quarterbacks for NFL Week 5.
