With a full slate ahead on Sunday, Week 5 presents plenty of opportunities for excitement, especially for daily fantasy players looking to make a quick buck on DraftKings, FanDuel, or wherever you choose to play.
When forming your daily fantasy lineup, it's always important to look for value plays in the mid- to lower-tier price ranges. Everyone wants to load their teams with studs sure to light up the box score, but it's finding the undervalued players that allows you to max out your budget on the likes of Antonio Brown and Aaron Rodgers this week.
Below we've picked some of our best value plays for daily fantasy players. Consider them when trying to find a few extra dollars to upgrade elsewhere in your lineup.
QB: Blake Bortles, $4,800
While Jaguars fans have been waiting for Blake Bortles to turn into an elite passer for years, fantasy players know that he's an absolute stud when it comes to padding stats in garbage time when Jacksonville is already hopeless of winning the game on the field. Going up against the Steelers on Sunday, Bortles should have plenty of time to get pass happy after the outcome has been decided.
RB: Frank Gore, $4,400
Did you know that Frank Gore is 8th on the all-time rushing list? He's rushed for more yards in his career than Marshall Faulk and Jim Brown, and has a good chance to pass Jerome Bettis this season. Anyway, this week the Colts are playing the Niners at home and Gore was one of the brights spots of the Colts' Sunday night game against the Seahawks.
RB: LeGarrette Blount, $4,200
LeGarrette Blount showed off a bit of beast mode for the Eagles on Sunday, barreling through the Chargers defense. While the Cardinals present a solid run defense, expect Philadelphia to get a lead and then seal the game with their running backs. Nothing would get the home crowd hyped like another running performance like last week.
