Welcome to the DFS Watch List for NFL Week 5!

And here we go again, #FANation! Another incredibly successful week of DFS for the #FAmily and we're going to ride this wave into Week 5, speed through the barrel and come out the other side even happier than we were going in. It's a very interesting week as we have the London game taking two punching bag defenses off the table in that of the Jets and the Falcons and then we have some high-powered offenses off the main slate as well. The Rams and Seattle square off on Thursday which takes away some serious firepower, Kansas City and Buffalo are the Sunday night game and then the Ravens play on Monday night against the Colts.

Seriously – No Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson or Lamar Jackson. No Jonathan Taylor, Chris Carson, Zack Moss, or Clyde Edwards-Helaire. No Cooper Kupp, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill or Marquise Brown. Oh yeah, and no Travis Kelce, Dawson Knox, Mark Andrews or Tyler Higbee

Think about that. Not only is that crazy, but it's going to require we take a serious dive into what's coming because everyone is going to look for the stars and no one is going to know the value. Except us, of course. The Watch List is all loaded up for you here and the Playbook will continue to produce strong options for you at a variety of pricing tiers. Just like we always do, right?

So what exactly did last week's Playbook deliver? As always, we like to check in to ensure we remain on the right path.

Scoring The Playbook Week 4

Here is the optimal lineup that could've been made with the Playbook and Dartboard as well as the average value per position.

If you played the $3 entry, NFL $1.6M Play-Action contest on Draft Kings with $100,000 to first this lineup would've finished 5th for $10,000.

For any newcomers this week:

“If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

We take this adage to heart when it comes to playing NFL DFS. The Fantasy Alarm Playbook isn’t just about handing you a list of players and a lineup to use each week. It is designed to help you learn to be a better DFS player. It’s about teaching you the process used in selecting which players to scout and, eventually, which ones to use.

Therefore, we will begin each week with the Weekly NFL DFS Watch List which is designed to keep tabs on marquee names, chalk plays and, of course, the weekly bargains who may not see the same coverage and exposure. This piece will be continuously updated throughout the week, based on the most recent news and injuries which means you may see a name or two removed as we get closer to kick-off. You may also see a few late-week additions who pique our interest for some reason too, and by the end of the week, this Watch List will eventually become your Playbook. Again, it’s about teaching you the process.

Also remember, the DFS Watch List focuses on the Sunday Main Slate. We cover Thursday, Monday and Sunday Night Football via Showdown slate coverage.

Now let's get to work…
