Salaries, lineups, stacks, and more for Week 5 DFS

The 2019 regular season passed through the quarter mark last week, and injuries are starting to pile up. It leaves plenty to consider as you set your DFS lineups for Week 5. Check back all week for all the news, insight, and analysis to get ready for Week 5.

Contributors: DraftKings Network Staff

Welcome through the quarter mark of the 2019 NFL season! We have three undefeated teams remaining in the league between the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, and ... San Francisco 49ers?! We saw five unbeaten teams go down in Week 4, and so now there are three.

More importantly for our purposes, we have a solid handle on the good, the bad, and the ugly in daily fantasy football. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be my new favorite team. A week after Mike Evans dominated in DFS, Chris Godwin decided it was his turn in Week 4. 12 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns will do that! It also helped Jameis Winston put together his best performance in a long time in the Bucs upset of the Rams.

Injuries are raising plenty of concerns heading into Week 5. Cam Newton remains sidelined with a Lisfranc injury, Josh Allen suffered a concussion, Christian Kirk injured his ankle, T.J. Hockenson suffered what looked like a brutal upper body injury, Jarvis Landry suffered a concussion, and the list goes on.

With all that in mind, it’s time to start getting ready for Week 5 DFS. DraftKings has TNF, SNF, and MNF Showdown matchups, and plenty of Sunday action to keep you busy. We’ll be here to provide you with all the news and analysis you need to get ready. We’ll be tracking everything here, so feel free to bookmark this story stream and return for the latest news and analysis!

Good luck in Week 5!
