NFL Week 5 DFS Contrarian Picks: Brock Purdy, Joe Mixon & More
How have your DFS lineup builds gone so far? All set for your cash games? How about your GPP tournaments? The value hasn’t been tough to come by over the first four weeks, but how are you doing with separating yourself from the herd? Are you finding strong DFS contrarian picks?
Finding yourself quality DFS contrarian picks is always a must if you’re looking to take down a mega, multi-entry GPP tournament. You need to find the plays that are both strong and underappreciated. By that, I mean lower ownership.
It’s not about a player’s price tag. It’s about how many people in your contests are using hm. If he is under-owned, you’re going to find yourself moving up the money list with every positive thing he does on the field. That’s how you move the needle.
In order to help assist you, be sure to check in with our NFL DFS Ownership projections which are routinely updated to give you the most recent numbers gathered from across the DFS sites. And, of course, we’ve got some of the best NFL DFS content around. Jon Impemba is killing it with the DFS Playbook and we’re ready to carry that momentum into Week 5.
