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.

Titans hope to manage Tony Pollard better in 2025
OC talks importance of mixing in other backs Titans OC Nick Holz: Feels like RB Tony Pollard is in a good place heading into the season, but we'll have to get other backs in the mix, whether it's Julius Chestnut or Kalel Mullings. Team doesn't want to overload Pollard and wear him down. (TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt) FF Today's Take: Forgive fantasy managers for being skeptical after Tennessee said similar things last year, only to ask him to handle 301 touches across 16 relatively meaningless games. At least until Tyjae Spears (ankle) is ready to come off IR, Pollard's handcuff will likely be Mullings since the team rarely used Chestnut in a similar spot last year. Mullings is probably worth a stash in 14-team leagues, but he will likely remain off the radar in 12-teamers.

Jaguars listed Travis Hunter as a starting wide receiver and backup cornerback on their Week 1 depth chart.
The Jaguars had initially listed Hunter as a starting wide receiver and backup cornerback at the beginning of preseason and continue to do so ahead of Week 1. Though not much stock should go into these early depth charts, camp usage indicates Hunter will be primarily an offensive player, with secondary usage on defense. Head coach Liam Coen said the Jaguars are evaluating Hunter's Week 1 usage due to missed time for an upper body injury. The rookie No. 2 overall pick is still slated for versatility, but fantasy managers can expect to get his offensive production at the WR3 level to start with.
