Let’s touch on some players who stand out for this week's FanDuel main slate.
Quarterbacks
Deshaun Watson ($8,000) - Week 5 brings a get right spot for Watson and the Houston Texans. They have an implied team total of 27 and face an Atlanta Falcons defense that over the last two weeks has given up a combined 537 passing yards and five touchdowns to Jacoby Brissett and Marcus Mariota. Atlanta ranks 27th in adjusted defensive Passing NEP per play. Watson has been sacked 18 times in four games, so the lack of pass rush generated by Atlanta (4 sacks) will be a welcomed sight. Watson finds himself in the numberFire projections as the highest-scoring QB.
