DFS Week 5: Stacking Lions/Cardinals

Quarterbacks

Jared Goff ($6.6K) @ Arizona Cardinals 

Goff hasn’t been home dependent over the last two years, and he gets a fast-paced matchup indoors this week. The Lions own a league-high 30.5-point team total, and the Cardinals have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to quarterbacks despite facing Justin Herbert, Drew Lock and Jameis Winston. 

Jacoby Brissett ($5.5K) vs. Detroit Lions

Brissett’s 5.4 YPA mark is ugly, but volume should be there Sunday; a home matchup against Detroit with a massive 54.5-point total. Lions’ opponents have all registered at least a positive 7% pass rate over expected this season. Brissett has faced a difficult schedule over the last few weeks, and he’s been the QB7 in expected fantasy points per game this year. The Lions have allowed the most QB fantasy points by a significant margin, including an 11:2 TD:INT ratio. Even if the stats come in garbage time, they count all the same in fantasy. Brissett is a borderline top five QB this week. 

Tyson Bagent ($4.7K) @ Green Bay Packers

Bagent gets another start for the Bears this week and is a bargain in DFS if looking to pay down at quarterback. He got 7.9 YPA last week and faces a vulnerable Packers’ defense allowing the sixth most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks. Bagent provides a cheap stacking opportunity with Luther Burden ($4.9K) among others this week. 

Others: Brock Purdy ($6.5K), Sam Darnold ($5.8K), Jameis Winston ($4.8K)
