NFL DFS: Monday Night Football Showdown Week 5

MNF DFS Showdown
Packers at Raiders (-2)
O/U 45.5

My Favorite Plays

Captain

RB, Josh Jacobs – Jacobs has been a disappointment so far this year, but Green Bay’s run defense may be what he needs. The Packers are ranked 31st in rushing attempts against, 28th in rushing yards allowed, and 22nd in rushing TDs allowed.

Alternative Captain: Jordan Love

Flex

QB, Jordan Love – The Packers were embarrassed by the Lions last Thursday and they have had a long week to think about it. The Raiders defense is not as good as the Lions and it ranks 28th in rushing TDs from Quarterbacks. 

WR, Davante Adams – The best player on the field will see a ton of targets against the Packers less than stellar defense.

WR, Romeo Doubs – He has been receiving double-digit targets from Love and Christian Watson does not look fully healthy.

Alternative Flex: Luke Musgrave, Christian Watson, Jakobi Meyers

Bargains

The Carlson Kickers  – The best way to save money and get a few points is to roster the kickers. Both kickers can be used in order to pay up for Jacobs and Adams.
