With 4 weeks in the books, we are beginning to pick up some steam into the season. We didn’t have too many clear paths at quarterback last week, but we kept our heads above water for the most part. Trubisky was a land mine that some of us, including myself, stepped on. Goff was gold though, and if you took Geno Smith who was in my Game by Game breakdown last week you hit the jackpot. In our projection model, we crunch the numbers for you to give the most accurate production per player, use the tools! This week is pretty it looks like we are in the same boat for a quarterback and pretty straightforward.

Let’s check out our NFL Week 5 DFS Quarterbacks!
Josh Allen ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel)
You can’t miss picking up Allen, set him in your lineup and forget it. He’s match-up proof this season already surpassing 1,200 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and 2 on the ground. Not only are we getting him a little cheaper this week, but he gets a Pittsburgh T J Watt-less defense that allowed Zach Wilson the dub with over 20 fantasy points. Allen is by far the safest QB with the highest floor in DFS this season.
Jalen Hurts ($8,100 DraftKings/$8,600 FanDuel)
The Jags kept Hurts under wraps but Philly still came out on top at home in Week 4. Kudos to former head coach Doug Pederson, but we still saved face with a 2x value on Jalen. In Arizona this week we should see another stand-out performance as the Cards rank at the bottom in passing yards allowed (23rd) and total defense (25th). Hurts is second-most expensive on the slate but one of the safest in Week 5.
Tom Brady ($6,000 DraftKings/$7,800 FanDuel)
I never thought I’d see the day that Jared Goff would be more expensive than the GOAT in DFS yet in Week 5, here we are. Brady’s (385 PAYRD/3 TD) didn’t make the cut against Kansas City on Sunday night. Last week’s tough loss sets the stage for him and the Bucs to blow the doors off the Falcons at a discounted salary. Atlanta’s defense is bottom of the barrel across the board (25th PaYd/game DVOA) allowing over 25 points a game (27th). Brady is a no-brainer in all formats with his weapons (Evans and Godwin) back at full strength.
Carson Wentz ($5,700 DraftKings/$6,800 FanDuel)
Wentz had his worst game of the season floating a 9 burger against Dallas’ insane pass rush in Week 4. So he won’t be on anyone’s radar in DFS this Sunday hosting Tennessee. The Titans ooze fantasy value out of their pores to opposing quarterbacks, allowing over 300 yards and 8 touchdown passes over the last 3 games. Forget the horror show you witnessed in Dallas last week and get Carson in a GPP this weekend.
Teddy Bridgewater ($5,400 DraftKings/$6,400 FanDuel)
No Tua, no problem for Miami. Coach Mike McDaniel’s system is plug-and-play for the quarterback position and Teddy B will have the best receiver core for his career this week in East Rutherford. The Dolphins’ 9 year veteran is no gunslinger but can easily manage this offense and get to 3X value of his salary. New York will not be able to keep receivers Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle from running circles around them (27th in points allowed) and Bridgewater will reap the rewards on the Week 5 stat sheet. A GPP Miami stack is smelling good this weekend.
