NFL Week 5 DFS Value Plays

Week 5 value at quarterback is concentrated at the top of this list. Jared Goff leads the board at 3.56 points per $1,000, with a $6,600 salary projected for 23.5 News Hub Fantasy points, the highest raw projection of the group. That combination of ceiling and efficiency makes him the clear building block for salary-cap lineups this week.

Behind him, Deshaun Watson stands out on price alone, projected for 17.0 points at just $5,100, good for 3.33 points per $1,000. Caleb Williams rounds out the strongest tier, projected at 20.5 points for $6,200. Kirk Cousins, Jacoby Brissett, and Brock Purdy offer similar point totals at higher cost or lower efficiency, making them secondary options rather than headline plays.

That's the call from the red zone. — Rhett
